The latest series of preferred stock differs from the original STRK in that it comes with a higher coupon (10% versus 8%) and has no common share conversion provision.
The company at last check owned more than 499,200 bitcoin, so this coming fresh round of purchases should take the Strategy stack well above 500,000 tokens.
MSTR shares are down marginally in premarket action to just under $300. Bitcoin is steady at $84,000.
