Strategy raised the funds by selling 28 million shares of Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Preferred Stock (STRC) at $90 per share, far exceeding its initial target of $500 million. This offering now stands as the biggest US IPO of this year in terms of gross proceeds, surpassing Circle Internet Group’s $1 billion IPO earlier in June.
Continuing its innovative fundraising approach, Strategy uses financial products such as equity, debt, and convertible notes to finance Bitcoin purchases. This strategy has inspired at least 160 publicly traded companies to add cryptocurrency to their balance sheets.
The newly issued STRC shares are slated to begin trading on Nasdaq this Wednesday. The stock is notable for being the first US exchange-listed perpetual preferred security issued by a Bitcoin treasury company, designed to provide monthly board-adjusted dividends for income-focused investors. STRC joins Strategy’s previous preferred offerings, which include Strike (STRK), Strife (STRF), and Stride (STRD), each offering different dividend structures and terms.
Shares of Strategy (MSTR) closed Tuesday’s trading down 2.26%, with a slight after-hours gain of 0.52% to $396.70, according to Google Finance. The stock has gained 31.55% year-to-date, a more moderate rise compared to its 2024 performance when it surged by over 350%.
Meanwhile, Tokyo-listed Quantum Solutions Co., Ltd. has entered a strategic partnership with digital asset firm TDX Strategies to operationalize its Bitcoin Treasury program, marking a major shift from planning to full-scale execution.
