BREAKING: Michael Saylor’s Strategy offers $250M preferred stock to buy more Bitcoin
Michael Saylor’s Strategy just can’t stop stacking sats.
On June 2, the company unveiled its latest move:
A $250 million raise via 2.5 million shares of a new 10% Series A Perpetual Preferred Stock (ticker: $STRD), priced at $100 each.
The goal?
No surprise - buy more Bitcoin.
This is Strategy’s third preferred stock play of the year, after launching Strike ($STRK) and Strife ($STRF) - a bold fundraising engine that’s already powered their $61.7B BTC treasury.
Here’s the breakdown:
10% annual dividend (if declared - it’s not guaranteed)
Non-cumulative - miss a quarter, no catch-up
Perpetual shares - no maturity date
Redeemable if fewer than 25% of original shares remain
And the IPO is being led by Wall Street giants like Morgan Stanley, Barclays, and TD Securities
Saylor’s firm now holds 580,955 BTC - more than double the Bitcoin held by every other public company combined.
At current prices, the new raise could buy ~2,350 more BTC.
But don’t expect them to stop there...
“There’s no specific target for how much Bitcoin we’ll hold. We’ll keep monitoring market conditions.”
The Bottom Line:
Strategy is turning Wall Street into a Bitcoin ATM - pumping out yield-bearing stock to fund the hardest asset on earth.
While others debate allocation…
Saylor is going all in. 🚀

REAL ESTATE INVESTORS ARE COMING 🏠
Grant Cardone is one of the most well-known real estate investors on the planet.
He runs a $4+ billion portfolio.
He’s built his brand on property, leverage, and cash flow.
But at Bitcoin 2025 in Vegas, he wasn’t talking about houses…
He was talking about Bitcoin:
“I think before the end of this year, we see $250K… Then it’ll pull back to the $140s. And in 2–3 years? $500,000.”
Read that again.
A man whose entire empire is built on real estate...
Now sees Bitcoin as the next massive opportunity.
And Grant isn’t alone.
The money is shifting.
The narrative is shifting.
When the biggest names in real estate start talking like this?
You know something big is underway. 📦
HANGING ON 💪
The streak is still alive…
For the seventh week in a row, digital asset funds saw net inflows of $286 million last week.
This pushes the 7-week run of inflows to $10.9 billion.
Let’s break it down.
Leading the charge?
Ethereum - with a surprising $321.4 million in inflows.
That brings ETH’s six-week total to a massive $1.19 billion.
Bitcoin, meanwhile, saw modest outflows of $8 million.
While XRP posted its second straight week of outflows of $28.2 million.
The U.S. came out on top again this week, with net inflows of $199 million.
Hong Kong followed with $54.8m, then Germany ($42.9m) and Australia ($21.5m).
Switzerland, however, saw $32.8m in outflows.
CoinShares notes that Bitcoin kicked the week off with strong inflows…
Unfortunately that reversed mid-week as a New York Court decision declared US tariffs as illegal.
Macro uncertainty has returned…
And as you all know, markets absolutely hate uncertainty.
