Michael Saylor told Strategy investors the firm could generate between USD $10,000 million and USD $30,000 million in digital credit through perpetual preferred shares, as DiarioBitcoin reported on Saturday though the figure represents theoretical capacity rather than an announced issuance.
The proposal arrived during the third-quarter earnings call as both Bitcoin and company shares faced steep monthly declines. On November 12, Bitcoin hovered near USD $68,500 after dropping roughly 18% over the prior month, while Strategy shares retreated about 28% in the same period.
- Strategy holds 850,364 BTC valued at approximately USD $63,300 million alongside USD $13,000 million in existing preferred stock.
- Preferred dividends hold priority over common shareholder returns, increasing corporate obligations as financing expands.
- The USD $30,000 million ceiling remains a structural estimate requiring board approval rather than an active offering.
Strategy divides its financial architecture into digital capital represented by Bitcoin, digital equity corresponding to common stock, and digital credit designating perpetual preferred shares. DiarioBitcoin said that the firm already utilizes five classes of preferred stock to fund Bitcoin acquisitions, totaling approximately USD $13,000 million in market value.

Among these instruments, the Variable Rate Series A preferred stock trading under the ticker STRC leads the group with a market value near USD $8,000 million and an effective yield of roughly 12%. Common stock market capitalization sits around USD $47,000 million, leaving preferred liabilities as a substantial component of the corporate balance sheet.
| Financial Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Bitcoin Holdings | 850,364 BTC |
| Estimated BTC Value | USD $63,300 million |
| Preferred Stock Total | USD $13,000 million |
| Common Stock Market Cap | USD $47,000 million |
| STRC Market Value | USD $8,000 million |
While the vast Bitcoin reserve underpins the financing model, preferred dividends take absolute precedence over any payouts to common equity holders. Each additional dollar raised via preferred shares adds fixed commitments that Strategy must satisfy before common shareholders realize any return.
Common equity absorbs the primary downside risk when asset valuations contract, meaning an expanded preferred obligation increases debt relative to equity. Investors continue to monitor STRC sales volume, the execution pace of a USD $1,000 million common stock repurchase program, and ongoing Bitcoin acquisition rates to gauge actual operational direction.
