Michael Saylor’s Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) announced pricing for its Stretch Perpetual Preferred Stock ($STRC) offering on July 25, and just a day after the IPO was announced on July 24, the firm will upsize the number of shares sold to 28,011,111 at a rate of $90.
Strategy expects net proceeds from the sale to garner approximately $2.474 billion, after discounts, commissions, and other expenses. According to a press release, the company intends to reinvest these funds into “general corporate purposes, including the acquisition of bitcoin and for working capital.” This ostensibly indicates another massive Bitcoin buy for Saylor and company, perhaps in excess of $2 billion.

Strategy Expands Preferred Stock Portfolio
The issuance and sale of the $STRC stock is scheduled to settle on July 29, 2025, bringing it into the fold with the firm’s suite of preferred stock offerings. This suite, which offers various perpetual and variable-rate instruments suited to different risk appetites, includes $STRK (“Strike”), an 8% Series A perpetual convertible preferred stock; $STRF (“Strife”), a 10% Series A perpetual cumulative preferred stock; $STRD (“Stride”), a 10% Series A perpetual non-cumulative preferred stock; and now $STRC (“Stretch”), a variable rate Series A perpetual stretch preferred stock.

The newest offering, Stretch, appears to be the most complex of the suite due to its variable dividend rate. Unlike the other offerings, which offer annually-fixed dividend rates of 8% or 10%, “Stretch” doesn’t have a fixed-for-life rate. It starts at a 9.00% annual dividend, but gives Strategy the right to adjust this rate monthly subject to “certain restrictions,” according to the press release.
The company says its current intention is to adjust the monthly regular dividend rate per annum in order to keep $STRC at or close to $100 per share.
