Strategy unveiled its new STRD preferred stock, aiming to raise capital for Bitcoin purchases and corporate activities. The stock offers 10% non-cumulative dividends, with a $100 liquidation preference that resets daily. Managed by Barclays, Morgan Stanley, and others, STRD ranks senior to common stock but junior to debt. Unlike its overcollateralized STRF counterpart, STRD lacks cumulative dividend protections, leading analysts to label it as ‘junk grade.’ The shares will trade separately once regulatory approval is secured, with potential redemptions tied to tax events or fundamental changes. This offering reflects Strategy’s broader strategy to dominate the fixed-income market while bolstering its Bitcoin reserves.
