Strategy Announces STRD Offering To Facilitate More Bitcoin Purchases
Highlights
- The STRD preferred stock shares were put up for sale through an IPO with an annual dividend rate of 10% and these funds are planned for Bitcoin purchases among other uses.
- Strategy may redeem STRD shares given certain rules.
- Barclays, Morgan Stanley and TD Securities have backed the IPO and the registration has been made with the SEC.
Strategy, a company known for its massive Bitcoin holdings, has just announced a new move. On June 2, 2025, it revealed plans for an initial public offering (IPO) of its new STRD Stock.
More Details About the STRD Stock
The company will offer 2.5 million shares of STRD, a preferred stock with a 10% annual dividend rate. These dividends won’t be guaranteed. They’ll only be paid if Strategy’s board decides to do so and if funds are legally available.
If declared, dividends will be paid quarterly, starting September 30, 2025. Investors should know these payments won’t add up over time if missed. No unpaid dividends will accumulate.
STRD Stock comes with more than just potential dividends. Strategy will use the raised money for general operations and to buy more Bitcoin. This is consistent with its long-term strategy of holding Bitcoin as a reserve asset.
The company also included redemption options. It can redeem all STRD shares at any time if the total outstanding falls below 25% of the original amount. Redemption can also happen if certain tax changes take place. In such cases, shareholders will receive the original share value plus any declared but unpaid dividends.
If a significant company change occurs (what the filing calls a “fundamental change”), investors can demand that Strategy buy back their shares. The buyback price will again include the share’s base value and any declared but unpaid dividends.
Each STRD share will start with a $100 value. This value can adjust daily depending on market activity. It can rise based on past STRD sale prices or trading averages over the previous ten days.
This comes at a time when Bitcoin is showing resilience, further validating Strategy’s long-term strategy.
Major Banks Back STRD IPO as Strategy Deepens Bitcoin Investment Strategy
Several major firms are managing the IPO. Barclays, Morgan Stanley, Moelis & Company, and TD Securities are some of them. A few others, like BTIG and Bancroft Capital, are also involved.
This offering won’t happen unless market conditions support it. A registration statement is already filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Strategy holds more Bitcoin than any other public company. It sees Bitcoin as “digital capital” and continues to fund purchases through its securities offerings.
The STRD Stock is another step in this approach. By offering new investment tools, Strategy blends Bitcoin with traditional finance in ways few others have attempted.
Investors curious about STRD can check the official prospectus through the SEC or by contacting the underwriting banks. This approach mirrors other institutional moves, such as Sharplink’s recent Ethereum reserve treasury, highlighting the growing institutional interest in crypto assets.
