🚨 NASDAQ’s Latest Obsession: Strategy’s STRF Stock 🚨

Strategy’s Latest Stock Strife (STRF) To Go Live on Nasdaq Today

As the esteemed founder and Chairman of Strategy, Michael Saylor has been busy conjuring up a new concoction, the “Series A Perpetual Strife Preferred Stock (STRF)”, which is set to debut on the esteemed Nasdaq stock exchange today. One cannot help but wonder if this latest creation will be a masterpiece or a catastrophe. 🤔

Our new preferred stock STRF (“Strife”) creates USD Yield for $STRF investors—and BTC Yield for $MSTR investors. It begins trading today on Nasdaq.

The whispers of excitement surrounding Strife may also have a ripple effect on the market’s perception of crypto-affiliates, potentially sending the value of Strategy’s volatile common stock (MSTR) soaring. But, dear investor, do not be fooled by the promise of easy riches. The world of finance is a cruel mistress, and only the most cunning and agile shall prevail. 💸

Offerings of Strategy’s STRF Stock

The STRF stock is designed to raise capital for general corporate purposes, with a substantial portion earmarked for Bitcoin (BTC) acquisitions and operating capital. Ah, the eternal allure of Bitcoin! Strategy’s new stock offering is intended to appeal to investors seeking a lower volatility experience than MSTR, but one cannot help but wonder if they are merely trading one set of risks for another. 🤯

This new instrument differs from Strategy’s earlier offerings in terms of conversion, like the STRK preferred shares. While STRK allows conversion into equity, Strife does not include conversion rights. Instead, the STRF stock’s dividends compound at an initial rate of 10% annually, strictly in cash, with no stock options or alternatives. Ah, the sweet taste of guaranteed returns! (Or so it seems.)

However, the dividend rate increases by 1% annually, up to a ceiling of 18% if the company defers payment. But, dear investor, do not be fooled by the promise of high returns. The board can withhold dividends entirely, leaving investors’ returns far from guaranteed. Ah, the cruel whims of fate! 🤦‍♂️

Strategy has offered to sell STRF shares at a liquidation price of $100 per share. Major financial institutions, including Morgan Stanley, Barclays, and Citigroup, are backing the new offering as underwriters. Fidelity Investment is also involved in distributing the product to retail investors. Ah, the weight of institutional backing! But, dear investor, do not be swayed by the promise of security. The world of finance is a wild and unpredictable beast, and only the most vigilant shall survive. 🐯

Investors Raise Concerns About STRF

The STRF stock is designed to provide BTC yield for MSTR investors, meaning Strategy will likely use the proceeds to buy more Bitcoin. Ah, the eternal cycle of speculation! For context, Strategy, formerly known as MicroStrategy, is well-known for its aggressive Bitcoin purchases. The firm bought 6,911 BTC earlier this week to raise its total holdings to 506,137 BTC. Ah, the intoxicating allure of Bitcoin! 🚀

Despite the firm’s strong support for Bitcoin, many worry about Strategy’s new stock offering. The BTC yield could fall if the price of Bitcoin stagnates or declines, reducing the appeal of this hybrid security. Ah, the cruel fate of investors! Strife’s asymmetric structure also raises questions about its appeal. Investors are particularly worried because the firm does not rely on operating revenue to fund dividends. Ah, the precarious balance of risk and reward! 🤯

A prolonged Bitcoin bear market could also lead to a decline in MSTR’s stock price. This may indirectly affect STRF’s perceived stability as investors may lose confidence in the company’s Bitcoin-heavy balance sheet. Ah, the delicate dance of risk and reward! Recent filings indicate Strategy may raise new capital by selling additional common stock or other securities to meet payout obligations. Strategy reportedly held under $50 million in cash after the launch of its new stock, with its core software business continuing to post losses. Ah, the precarious state of affairs! 🤦‍♂️

Covering cash dividends on hundreds of millions of preferred stock may require the sustained issuance of new instruments, which has heightened the dilution risk for existing shareholders. Ah, the bitter taste of regret! But, dear investor, do not be swayed by the promise of easy riches. The world of finance is a cruel mistress, and only the most cunning and agile shall prevail. 💸
