Strategy, formerly known as MicroStrategy, plans to raise $2.1 billion through the issuance of 10.00% Series A perpetual preferred stock called Perpetual Strife Preferred Stock (STRF) to fund its Bitcoin plans.
The company currently holds 576,230 BTC, which is 2.9% of the total Bitcoin supply, and aims to use the funds raised for general corporate needs and to purchase more Bitcoin.
The preferred stock offers a 10% annual yield and does not dilute the voting power of common shareholders, showcasing the company's commitment to Bitcoin despite the associated risks.
To facilitate the sale of STRF shares, Strategy has partnered with financial firms like Barclays Capital, The Benchmark Company, and TD Securities, with the stock trading at $100.65 on the Nasdaq exchange.
