Strategy prepares sale of US$ 4,2 billion in STRD to buy bitcoin
2025/07/07 15:30- Strategy to issue $4,2 billion in STRD shares
- Company intends to use funds to buy more bitcoin
- Sale will be gradual via market ATM program
Strategy, formerly known as MicroStrategy, announced a plan to raise up to $4,2 billion by issuing Series A STRD perpetual preferred stock, which will yield 10% per year. The sale will occur through an at-the-market (ATM) program, allowing the company to execute transactions as market conditions dictate.
According to official statement disclosed on Monday, the funds raised will be used for various corporate purposes, with emphasis on the acquisition of bitcoin and reinforcement of working capital. The company may also direct part of the amount to the payment of dividends on its preferred shares STRD and STRK, the latter with a yield of 8%.
The issuance strategy will be conducted in a staggered manner, considering the market price of STRD shares and the volume traded in each session. Operations may occur either through common sales or through block transactions, depending on the demand of institutional or strategic investors.
STRD shares, launched as part of the company's restructuring of its bitcoin-based model, offer fixed, non-cumulative dividends, meaning that payments do not accumulate if they are suspended for a certain period. Still, they represent an attractive way to raise capital to enable new purchases of the digital asset.
With this new move, Strategy reinforces its position in the market as one of the largest corporate holders of bitcoin in the world. The company has been financing previous BTC purchases with different classes of shares and convertible notes, including through MSTR common shares and STRK and STRF preferred shares.
The issuance of STRD preferred shares is part of the company's strategy of maintaining liquidity available to increase its bitcoin reserve, while structuring sustainable financing alternatives. The model allows the company to take advantage of market interest in its financial products, without directly resorting to the sale of crypto assets already acquired.

Goldman Sachs believes that the AI investment cycle is currently in the "trough of disillusionment," but this is not the first time. The core contradiction lies in the fact that the business models of new cloud computing providers are highly dependent on end-user returns from AI spending, while currently "there are basically zero companies that can attribute profits to AI." Social Capital founder Palihapitiya has clearly defined an 18-month key window, during which the market will decide which AI business models are sustainable and which are not.
Anthropic's Core Concern: Revenue Can Be Withdrawn at Any Time, but Computing Power Costs Are Locked in for up to 20 Years
Zheshang Securities believes that Anthropic's revenue is mainly based on usage-based billing, with remaining performance obligations covering only about 5.1 months of annualized revenue, while compute power costs are already locked in with $895.4 billion in irrevocable commitments, some extending as far as 2045. Revenues can be reduced at any time, but costs are non-exitable, creating a highly asymmetric maturity gap between the two—this is the company's real core constraint.
Triple Pressure from the Federal Reserve, Treasury, and Congress; Goldman Sachs: Liquidity Crisis May Occur in 2027
Goldman Sachs warns that the reserve ratio of bank assets has dropped to around 11%, only slightly above the crisis trough of 2019. In the second half of 2027, a deadlock in debt ceiling negotiations will force the Treasury to rebuild the TGA, triggering a "perfect storm" of a sharp drop in reserves and a surge in T-bill supply; combined with stalled money market fund buying, this will create a huge liquidity black hole. The Federal Reserve could be forced into the awkward position of lowering interest rates and launching large-scale bond purchases to rescue the market.
