Strategy has announced a new round of perpetual preferred stock issuance, a move typically made ahead of further Bitcoin acquisitions.
According to the company, shares in this latest round will be priced at $85 each, featuring a 10% yield, with the initiative expected to generate around $711 million in capital.
Market expert Jesse Myers pointed out that the annual 11.8% dividend payout to investors from this offering indicates Strategy’s ability to attract capital away from traditional bonds, which currently provide a lower 4.2% return.
The company’s most recent Bitcoin purchase took place on March 17, when it acquired 130 BTC valued at approximately $10.7 million. This brings Strategy’s total Bitcoin reserves to 499,226 BTC, worth an estimated $41.8 billion.
This latest acquisition was the company’s smallest recorded purchase and followed a three-week pause in buying activity. Despite this, co-founder Michael Saylor has affirmed that Strategy remains committed to accumulating more Bitcoin by leveraging debt and equity sales.
Strategy Gears Up for Further Bitcoin Investments
On March 10, the firm disclosed its plan to periodically sell shares of its 8% Series A perpetual preferred stock as part of a broader effort to raise $21 billion for additional Bitcoin purchases.
Following through on this plan, Strategy announced on March 18 that it would release 5 million shares in Series A perpetual preferred stock to generate more funding.
Data from SaylorTracker reveals that the company’s Bitcoin investment remains profitable, with an approximate 26% gain to date and over $8.6 billion in unrealized profits, despite recent market fluctuations.
However, Strategy’s stock price has experienced turbulence. Since peaking in January 2025, shares have dropped over 26% and are down more than 44% from their all-time high of around $543 on Nov. 21.
Currently, shares of Strategy are trading at approximately $299, marking a 29% rebound from the recent low of $231 on March 11.
The company’s inclusion in the Nasdaq 100, a leading stock index tracking the top 100 firms by market capitalization within the tech sector, has drawn in fresh investment while also exposing the company to broader volatility in the tech market.
