MicroStrategy launches 2.5 million ‘ $STRK’ Shares
MicroStrategy has announced the launch of a public offering for 2.5 million shares of its new Series A Perpetual Strike Preferred Stock, $STRK. The company plans to use the proceeds for general corporate purposes, including acquiring more Bitcoin and boosting its working capital. The preferred stock will have a liquidation preference of $100 and will pay quarterly dividends starting March 31, 2025.
Investors will have the option to receive dividends in cash, MSTR Class A common stock, or both. Additionally, the preferred stock will be convertible into common stock under certain conditions. MicroStrategy reserves the right to redeem the preferred stock early if the liquidation value falls below 25% of the original offering or if certain tax events occur.
$STRK offering is part of MicroStrategy’s ongoing Bitcoin strategy, which has seen the company increase its Bitcoin holdings for 12 consecutive weeks. The company’s focus on Bitcoin continues to be a major point of interest for investors because it operates in both the tech and cryptocurrency sectors.
MicroStrategy also offered an 8% fixed coupon on $250 million of perpetual preferred stock. The stock will be issued with a conversion price of $1,000. The company had previously announced plans to raise up to $2 billion in the first quarter of 2025 through similar stock offerings.
The preferred stock would rank senior to MSTR Class A common stock, offering investors stability and potential for returns. However, MSTR shares are down by 3.7% in pre-market trading, closing at $353.67 each. The company’s stock has seen a slight decline following the market correction on January 27.

The firm’s approach continues to attract attention from investors in the cryptocurrency market.
