A High-Yield Offering with Growth Potential
This stock offers investors an annual fixed return of 8% and the option to convert their preferred shares into Strategyโs Class A common stock. The company aims to use the funds for expansion, Bitcoin acquisitions, and strengthening its overall financial position.
Unlike traditional stock offerings, this approachโknown as an “ATM Program”โallows Strategy to raise capital gradually instead of all at once. This flexibility helps the company take advantage of favorable market conditions, such as stock price and trading volume, while avoiding large, one-time share sales that could flood the market.

He suggested that the U.S. government should acquire between 5% and 25% of Bitcoinโs total supply by 2035, potentially creating a national Bitcoin reserve. According to his estimates, this could generate between $16 trillion and $81 trillion by 2045โhelping reduce national debt and boosting economic growth.
Besides, Saylor’s participation in the summit and his advocacy for a national Bitcoin reserve underscore a significant shift in U.S. policy toward embracing digital assets as strategic economic tools.
