MicroStrategy Prices Preferred Stock Offering At $80 Per Share, Seeks $563M To Buy Bitcoin
Jan 31, 2025 10:02 AM

MicroStrategy ( MSTR ) continues its bold Bitcoin strategy with a new $563.4 million preferred stock offering, signaling unwavering confidence in the apex crypto.

The company announced on Friday that it has priced 7,300,000 shares of 8.00% Series A Perpetual Strike Preferred Stock at $80.00 per share, with settlement expected on Feb. 5.

According to the press release, MicroStrategy ( MSTR ) intends to use the net proceeds “for general corporate purposes, including the acquisition of bitcoin and for working capital.”

Why It Matters: This move aligns with the company’s ongoing strategy of leveraging its market position to accumulate more Bitcoin.

The preferred stock offering comes on the heels of MicroStrategy’s recent Bitcoin buying spree.

The company acquired an additional 10,107 Bitcoin this week, extending its buying spree to twelve consecutive weeks and bringing its total holdings to 471,107 BTC.

This latest purchase was made at an average cost of $105,596 per Bitcoin, adjusting the company’s overall cost basis to $64,511 per coin.

MicroStrategy’s aggressive Bitcoin accumulation strategy has drawn both praise and scrutiny from analysts.

Mizuho recently initiated coverage on the company with an ‘outperform’ rating and a $515 price target, describing it as a “Lever for the Believer” in Bitcoin.

However, concerns persist about the sustainability of MicroStrategy’s premium valuation over its Bitcoin holdings.

The company’s shareholders recently approved a significant increase in authorized stock, potentially fueling further Bitcoin purchases.
