Bitcoin-focused company MicroStrategy is pricing its Strike Preferred Stock Offering at $584 million, according to an announcement on Monday.
On Jan. 30, MicroStrategy announced an offering of 7,300,000 shares of 8.00% titled Series A Perpetual Strike Preferred Stock (STRK). The initial public offering price is $80.00 per share. This is perpetual stock; therefore it does not have a maturity date, and MicroStrategy will not have to redeem it later on. The company will just offer 8% of an annual dividend yield on it. However, MicroStrategy will have the right to redeem that stock in cash at its own discretion.
The STRK shares will be issued and sold on Feb. 5, according to the press release. The document is filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The company now estimates that it will be able to raise $584 million rather than $250 million as initially planned. The preferred liquidation price is $100 per share.
STRK holders will be able to convert them into MicroStrategy’s class A common stock on any business day. “The initial conversion rate is 0.1000 shares of MicroStrategy’s class A common stock per share of perpetual strike preferred stock, which represents an initial conversion price of $1,000.00 per share of MicroStrategy’s class A common stock,” the press release says.
The latest news comes after Forbes magazine featured Saylor on its cover in an article titled “The Bitcoin Alchemist.” The article referred to Saylor as “The Most Important Person in Bitcoin,” and it shared the story of Saylor and MicroStrategy’s regular Bitcoin accumulation, which started in August 2020. At the time, Saylor began calling the U.S. dollar trash and decided to use the company’s cash balance to purchase Bitcoin. Recently, the firm acquired $1.1 billion in Bitcoin, now holding a total of 471,107 BTC worth approximately $50 billion in fiat.
