Strategy, formerly known as MicroStrategy, has announced its intention to raise up to $4.2 billion through an additional issuance of STRC preferred shares. This was revealed in the company’s official statement to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

New Phase of Capital Raising and Future Plans
STRC is a preferred stock with a floating dividend rate and monthly payments, which is already listed on the Nasdaq exchange. In July, the company conducted its first public offering of STRC shares (IPO), raising $2.5 billion. This IPO became the largest in the cryptocurrency sector for 2025. The majority of the funds raised will be directed towards purchasing bitcoins, as well as other corporate objectives. Currently, the company holds 607,770 BTC.
Following the completion of the initial offering, Strategy announced preparations for an additional share issuance. This news caused fluctuations in STRC quotes: the stock price rose twice but quickly returned to previous levels.
Financial Results and Market Impact
Strategy’s management held a conference call to summarize the second quarter of 2025 and presented the corresponding financial report to the SEC. For the second quarter, the company’s revenues reached $14 billion, equivalent to $32.6 per share (EPS). Net income amounted to $10 billion, made possible by the rise in bitcoin prices.
The firm’s investment strategy in bitcoin has yielded a 25% annual return since the beginning of 2025, with expectations for this figure to rise to 30% by the end of the year. Operating profit could reach $34 billion if bitcoin exceeds the $150,000 mark. The company is building its plans considering these positive market trends.
However, in light of the news about the expansion of STRC issuance and the presentation of financial results, the company’s main shares (MSTR) reacted with a decline, which is evident on the stock chart.
“We are benefiting from the most innovative technologies and assets in human history, but on the other hand, our shares may be the most misunderstood and undervalued in the U.S., and potentially in the world,” said Strategy CEO Phong Le.
This is the second consecutive quarter in which Strategy has accounted for its cryptocurrency assets at fair market value. The company continues to be one of the most active corporate investors in bitcoin, significantly impacting its financial results and development strategy.
