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.

Tom Lee says stop timing the bottom and start buying the dip
Thomas Lee, speaking on stage at Hong Kong Consensus 2026, said investors should be looking at opportunities as crypto is in the midst of a "mini winter."
O que saber:
- Fundstrat's Thomas Lee urged investors to view the sell-off as a buying opportunity, arguing that gold has likely peaked for the year and that bitcoin and ether are poised to outperform
- Lee sees ether possibly needing a brief dip below $1,800 before a sustained recovery.
- Bitcoin fell back below $67,000 on Wednesday, extending a pullback from last week's rebound and marking a roughly 50 percent drawdown from its October record highs.
