Strive Plans to Raise $500 Million to Increase Bitcoin Holdings and Other Purposes, New Preferred Stock Offers 15% Fixed Dividend Rate

Odaily News: Bitcoin treasury company Strive (ASST) has announced plans to issue a new class of perpetual preferred stock, SATS, aiming to offer 5 million shares at $100 per share, targeting a raise of $500 million. The proceeds will be used to increase Bitcoin holdings, acquire yield-generating assets, or repurchase company shares.

SATS has a fixed dividend rate of 15%, with dividends paid daily, and ranks junior to the company's existing SATA preferred stock, which carries a floating dividend rate currently at 13%. Strive also plans to establish a reserve equivalent to the total dividends for the first 18 months of SATS upon completion of the offering. Additionally, Strive increased its holdings by 3,311 Bitcoin last week, bringing its total position to 32,773 BTC, valued at approximately $2.7 billion. (CoinDesk)
