‘s Strategy has entered into a significant sales agreement, allowing the company to issue up to $21 billion worth of its 8.00% Series A Perpetual Strike Preferred Stock.
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 Strategy’s 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 approach—known as an “ATM Program”—allows 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.
Saylor’s Push for a National Bitcoin Reserve
This move further highlights Michael Saylor’s long-term vision for Strategy and Bitcoin.
On March 7, 2025, Saylor attended the White House Crypto Summit, where he proposed a bold strategy for the U.S. to become a leader in digital assets. He suggested that the U.S. government should acquire between 5% and 25% of Bitcoin’s total supply by 2035, potentially creating a national Bitcoin reserve. According to his estimates, this could generate between $16 trillion and $81 trillion by 2045—helping 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.
