Strategy Expands Bitcoin Mission with $711.2 Million Offering
Strategy, previously named MicroStrategy, is scaling up its Bitcoin mission. Through a combination of confidence and capital, the firm has registered an offering of 8.5 million shares of its 10% Series A Perpetual Strife Preferred Stock at $85 per share. The scheme is anticipated to generate an enormous $711.2 million, funds heading straight into Bitcoin and boosting its day-to-day finances.

The offering that will be closing on Tuesday, March 25, 2025, guarantees investors a 10% annual dividend return. Strategy’s decision to raise almost $211 million more than planned reflects strong investor demand and, perhaps, a growing conviction in the long-term value of Bitcoin. Initially, the company targeted to sell $500 million with only 5 million shares of the same stock.
Strategy purchased a whole batch of 130 BTC this week for $10.7 million, which means they spent $82,982 on each BTC on average. The most recent transaction raised the value of the company’s Bitcoins to 499,226, which is around 2.37% of all the Bitcoins that are currently in circulation.
Michael Saylor’s Bitcoin-Centric Strategy Fuels Unique Business Model
Founder and chairman Michael Saylor hasn’t been shy about his endgame. “Bitcoin is our strategy,” he has made clear through both word and wallet. By using this, a novel model has arisen within Strategy in which not only crypto is being held, but its use has led to the establishment of a fully functional business model.
Some companies might take a small step, but Strategy goes the whole hog. After the sale of 123,000 shares of 8.00% Series A Perpetual Strike Preferred Stock, the company rose to the sum of $10.7 million. The exact amount was used to buy 130 Bitcoins. Furthermore, in a world where treasuries typically mean cash or bonds, this kind of discipline is unique.
As a matter of fact, Strategy actually has not sold any A Class common stock in the recent past to imply its determination based on the progressive financial task and only through the current and future Bitcoin-centric strategy. This is not only a crypto investment, it is a financial philosophy in action.
170 Institutions, One Direction: BTC as a Treasury Weapon
Strategy is one such example. Reports show that 170 institutions, including governments and fund managers, are now holding around 3.1 million Bitcoins in their treasuries. The message is loud—Bitcoin is no longer fringe. It is now an integral part of the financial mainstream that defends against inflation and currency instability.
To expand its capital firepower, Strategy has greenlit plans to issue up to $21 billion worth of its 8.00% Series A Perpetual Strike Preferred Stock using an at-the-market offering program. This may seem excessive, but in the volatile world of crypto, liquidity is king, and boldness gets rewarded—or punished—with equal speed.
On the dividend front, the company also declared a quarterly payout of $1.24 per share on its existing 8.00% Series A Perpetual Strike Preferred Stock. Starting in 2025, these payments will land every quarter, sweetening the deal for investors willing to ride out the volatility.
