Strategy Announces $711M Stock Offering to Buy More Bitcoin

Strategy (NASDAQ: MSTR/STRK), formerly MicroStrategy, has announced the pricing of its latest public offering: 8.5 million shares of 10 percent Series A Perpetual Strife Preferred Stock at $85 per share. The company plans to launch the offering in the coming days and complete it by Tuesday, March 25, 2025.

With this public offering, Strategy expects to raise about $711.2 million. The company plans to use these funds to buy more Bitcoin and strengthen its working capital. The newly issued perpetual strife preferred stock will carry a fixed annual dividend of 10 percent.

Initially, Strategy aimed to raise $500 million by selling 5 million shares of this preferred stock. However, due to strong investor interest, the company decided to expand the offering.

Strategy’s Bitcoin Holdings Near Half a Million

As reported by Coinpedia, Strategy has been aggressively increasing its Bitcoin holdings over the past few months. Earlier this week, the company purchased 130 Bitcoins for $10.7 million, at an average price of about $82,982 per Bitcoin.

Strategy’s founder and chairman, Michael Saylor, remains dedicated to accumulating as much Bitcoin as possible by leveraging global capital markets. His long-term vision has made Strategy one of the largest corporate Bitcoin holders.

Strategy’s approach has influenced other companies to adopt Bitcoin as a key part of their financial strategy. As of now, 170 entities, including governments, private firms, and fund managers, hold about 3.1 million Bitcoins in their treasuries.
