Michael Saylor, the brains behind Strategy, continues to pursue his ambitious strategy of establishing the company as a Bitcoin giant. He is relying on innovative financial products to generate capital and further expand Bitcoin reserves.

Michael Saylor and his company, Strategy, have made a name for themselves in recent years by investing heavily in Bitcoin. This strategy is now being continued with a new financial product: a so-called ‘perpetual strife preferred stock’. This form of stock is unique because it cannot be converted into regular shares and is intended to trade forever. It is intended to attract investors with an attractive 10% dividend offer.

In contrast to previous financing rounds, which focused on convertible bonds, this new offering is aimed at investors more interested in fixed-income securities. This change in target audience demonstrates that Strategy is adapting its financing strategy to tap into new investor groups.

The decision to invest in a non-convertible equity form is part of a larger strategy aimed at further expanding the company’s Bitcoin holdings. Since 2020, Strategy has invested its cash reserves in Bitcoin to hedge against inflation. These investments have paid off so far, as Bitcoin’s value has increased by over 600% since then.

The new funding round is being supported by renowned banks such as Morgan Stanley, Barclays, Citigroup, and Moelis & Co. This collaboration underscores the confidence that major financial institutions have in Saylor’s strategy. Nevertheless, the question remains whether the Bitcoin market and Strategy’s shares will remain volatile enough for this strategy to be successful in the long term.

While Strategy’s shares have fallen 25% since Donald Trump‘s inauguration, the company’s value has increased by more than 2,000% since it began investing in Bitcoin in 2020. This shows that despite short-term setbacks, Saylor’s strategy could be successful in the long term, provided the Bitcoin market remains stable.

In the future, the strategy plans to raise an additional $42 billion through securities sales to purchase even more Bitcoin. This aggressive expansion strategy could make the firm one of the largest Bitcoin investors worldwide, assuming demand for Bitcoin remains high and the markets stabilize.
