The company has announced the pricing for its new public offering to be 8.5 million shares of 10% Series A Perpetual Strife Preferred Stock, priced at $85 per share. The public offering is expected to close by Tuesday, March 25, 2025. Strategy sought to raise $500 million by offering 5 million shares, but the company expanded the offering to raise a higher amount due to heightened demand from investors.

The funds generated from this offering will be utilized to purchase more Bitcoin and strengthen the company’s working capital. The new perpetual preferred stock carries a fixed 10 percent annual dividend.

Over recent months, Strategy has continued its aggressive Bitcoin acquisition strategy. Earlier this week, the company acquired 130 Bitcoin for approximately $10.7 million, bringing its total holdings to 499,226 Bitcoin.

These holdings now represent about 2.37 percent of all Bitcoin in circulation. The company has long been known for its commitment to accumulating Bitcoin, with founder and chairman Michael Saylor leading the charge.

Saylor’s focus on Bitcoin has made Strategy one of the largest corporate holders of the cryptocurrency. The company has used global capital markets to continue its Bitcoin accumulation, a strategy it has pursued since 2020.

Influence on Other Companies

Strategy’s approach has caught the attention of other companies and organizations. Currently, more than 170 entities, including governments, private firms, and fund managers, have followed Strategy’s lead and accumulated Bitcoin as part of their financial strategies. These entities collectively hold approximately 3.1 million Bitcoin, underscoring the growing trend of Bitcoin adoption across various sectors.

The increasing number of companies turning to Bitcoin is driven by its perceived value as a hedge against inflation and economic uncertainty. For many, Bitcoin serves as a store of value and an alternative investment asset in an increasingly volatile financial landscape.

Recent Bitcoin Purchases

Strategy’s recent purchases have further solidified its position as a leader in corporate Bitcoin investment. On March 17, the company announced that it had acquired 130 BTC for $10.7 million, funded by selling 123,000 shares of its 8.00% preferred stock. This move allowed the company to avoid diluting its common stock while increasing its Bitcoin holdings.
