Strategy Announces Euro Perpetual Preferred to Expand Bitcoin Holdings

The STRE shares are priced at €100 with a 10% cumulative dividend and are available only to qualified investors in Europe and the U.K.

Overview

  • Strategy filed to offer 3.5 million STRE shares, with net proceeds earmarked primarily for additional bitcoin purchases and general corporate purposes.
  • STRE will list on Luxembourg’s Euro MTF and clear through Euroclear and Clearstream, with Barclays, Morgan Stanley, Moelis and other banks as joint bookrunners.
  • Unpaid dividends compound by 100 basis points each quarter up to an 18% cap, and if a dividend is deferred the company plans to raise funds within 60 days via junior securities.
  • The security ranks senior to STRK, STRD and common stock but junior to STRF, STRC and debt, includes a holder repurchase right on a fundamental change, and is generally non‑callable except for tax events or if under 25% remains outstanding.
  • The liquidation preference resets daily to the greater of €100, the prior day’s market price or the 10‑day average, MSTR shares fell following the announcement, and Strategy’s bitcoin holdings stand at 641,205 BTC after a recent 397‑BTC purchase.
