TYSONS CORNER, Va. - Strategy™ (NASDAQ:MSTR/STRK), a company recognized for its significant Bitcoin treasury holdings and currently valued at $78.68 billion, has announced the pricing of its offering of 8.5 million shares of Series A Perpetual Strife Preferred Stock at $85.00 per share. According to InvestingPro data, the company’s stock has shown remarkable momentum with a 108.64% return over the past six months, though it currently appears overvalued based on Fair Value analysis. The offering, which is expected to yield net proceeds of approximately $711.2 million, is set to close on March 25, 2025, subject to customary closing conditions.
The proceeds from the sale are intended for general corporate purposes, which include acquiring more Bitcoin and bolstering the company’s working capital.

This move is in line with Strategy’s ongoing commitment to Bitcoin as a primary treasury reserve asset.
The perpetual strife preferred stock will carry a 10% annual dividend on the $100 per share stated amount, payable quarterly in arrears starting June 30, 2025, if declared by the board of directors. In the event of unpaid dividends, the rate will compound quarterly, potentially increasing to a maximum of 18% per annum.
Strategy reserves the right to redeem all shares of the perpetual strife preferred stock under certain conditions, including if the outstanding shares fall below 25% of the total originally issued or in the event of specific tax circumstances. The redemption price will include accumulated and unpaid dividends.
Additionally, should a fundamental change occur, shareholders will have the right to require Strategy to repurchase their shares at the stated amount plus any accumulated dividends.
The offering’s book-runners include major financial institutions such as Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC and Barclays Capital Inc., among others. The offering is made under Strategy’s effective shelf registration statement with the SEC and is available only by prospectus.
