Here's a rewritten version of the article:
) Strategy Bitcoin Investment's BTC Bonanza
Strategy Bitcoin Investment's latest move to issue $500 million in perpetual preferred stock is a strategic move to beef up its Bitcoin (BTC) holdings. Institutional investors can grab a slice of this action, with a sweet 10% annual dividend on offer.
Going Perpetual With Series A Strife (STRF)
Strategy Bitcoin Investment is shaking things up by releasing Series A Strife (STRF), a new perpetual preferred stock. Each share costs a cool $100, with quarterly dividend payouts starting June 30, 2025.
But here's the twist – while STRF shares come with no voting rights, the dividends don't just stop if there's a delay. They come with an extra 1% interest each year, capping at 18%. This arrangement shows Strategy's commitment to using financial markets to amass more Bitcoin.
Backing From Heavyweights
Major financial players like Morgan Stanley, Barclays, Citigroup, and Moelis & Company have jumped on board, giving the STRF offering SEC-approved transparency.
However, its latest BTC purchases have slowed down, with Strategy only picking up 130 BTC for $10.7 million. While this is smaller compared to Metaplanet, which snatched 150 BTC for $12.5 million, Strategy still remains the largest Bitcoin stash among public companies, with a whopping 499,226 BTC in its bag.
Michael Saylor's Long Game
At the Future Proof Citywide event in Miami, Michael Saylor discussed Bitcoin's market volatility, linking it to economic uncertainties, interest rate expectations, and broader market corrections. Despite the turbulence, Saylor reiterated Strategy's long-term commitment to Bitcoin accumulation. "When that flips, I think Bitcoin will rip forward with a vengeance," he said.
Strategy Bitcoin Investment continues to dominate the corporate Bitcoin scene, leveraging financial markets to hoard more Bitcoin and solidify its position.
