Strategy's CEO, Phong Le, said in an interview that the company plans to issue more perpetual preferred shares to alleviate investor concerns over sharp stock price volatility. According to Odaily, Le shared that these shares, branded as “Stretch”, will offer investors “exposure to digital capital while mitigating volatility risk.” The dividend rate resets monthly and currently stands at 11.25%, designed to keep the share price anchored near its $100 par value.
To date, preferred shares represent a small portion of Strategy’s overall financing. The company has raised approximately $370 million in common stock and $7 million in perpetual preferred shares to fund its recent Bitcoin purchases over the past three weeks. Strategy currently holds over 714,000 Bitcoins, with a total value of approximately $48 billion.
