Each share is priced at $100, and the company plans to adjust the dividend rate over time to keep the stock trading as close as possible to this stated price. At launch, the dividend is set to yield 9% annually, paid monthly.

Funds raised through this offering will be used for general business needs, which include buying more Bitcoin and covering working expenses. Michael Saylor, founder of Strategy, explained in a post on X that the offering will be available only to select investors rather than the general public.

The structure of this stock is designed to serve as a stable, income‑producing investment while supporting the company’s Bitcoin purchases.

Bitcoin writer Adam Livingston stated in a July 21 post on X that this mechanism is like a "new financial lifeform" designed to quickly convert dollars into Bitcoin. He also said, "You’re not buying stock. You’re buying a yield‑targeted Bitcoin conduit".

Meanwhile, StablecoinX has announced plans to go public through a merger with TLGY Acquisition Corp. What does the company aim to achieve? Read the full story.
