Strategy (MSTR), recognized as the largest corporate Bitcoin holder, has activated its new stock offering which aims to attract long-term investors with a substantial annual return alongside no management fees.
The firm plans to sell 11.76 million shares of its 10% Series A Perpetual Stride Preferred Stock (STRD), anticipating to raise about $979.7 million post-deductions, as outlined in a press release.
The STRD shares, which rank below the company’s other offerings (STRF and STRK), are poised for execution on June 10. Unlike the STRF offering, which tends to have a senior status and lower volatility, or the STRK, which is convertible with an 8% return, the STRD option is considered riskier while promising the highest yield from the firm’s capital products.
This offering features a non-cumulative dividend structure, meaning that unpaid dividends will not accumulate, and disbursements depend solely on board declarations.
Overall, STRD shares aim to attract those inclined towards high-yield investment options while also being non-callable except under specific taxation events or corporate structural changes.
Strategy asserts that the earnings from this offering will primarily be employed for general corporate goals, inclusive of buying further Bitcoin.
As the firm’s shares have risen by 1.7% in early trading, currently at $375, this offering reflects a strategic move in their financial tactics.
