Andrew emphasized that strategy is fundamentally transforming capital markets by introducing yield instruments that were previously unseen. This innovative approach aims to create more investment opportunities for both retail and institutional investors, allowing them increased exposure to Bitcoin. He pointed out that as global wealth continues to grow, there is significant potential for Bitcoin to gain a larger market share.
2. Preferred Equity Offerings: Strike and Strife
Andrew introduced two unique preferred equity offerings, Strike and Strife, highlighting their high performance in the market. Strike offers investors an 8% cash dividend with a conversion feature tied to MSTR common equity, while Strife provides a 10% cash dividend and exceptional over-collateralization with a BTC rating of 6.9 times. These instruments are designed to attract investors seeking substantial yield while being grounded on Bitcoin as a foundational asset.
3. Outperforming Market Trends
According to Andrew, the performance of Strike and Strife has notably exceeded that of traditional preferred equity offerings over the last month. While many other offerings reported declines in value, these new instruments showcased strong gains, illustrating their appeal to investors. This significant outperformance indicates a solid interest and demand for high-yielding investments in the current market climate.
4. Accessibility of Investments for All
Andrew stressed that the preferred equity offerings, Strike and Strife, are not limited to institutional investors but are available to everyone, including individuals who may not have significant capital. He urged attendees to recognize that these instruments signify a shift in investment opportunities, making them accessible for everyday investors looking to participate in the Bitcoin market.
5. Importance of Perpetual Structure
The perpetual nature of the Strike and Strife offerings is a key feature that sets them apart. Unlike traditional securities, these preferred equities do not have a maturity date, allowing investors to benefit from ongoing dividends indefinitely. Inherent in this structure is the security of continuously receiving dividends, making these preferred equities an attractive long-term investment.
6. Capital Stack Strategy for Future Growth
Andrew outlined the structured approach to capital growth at Strategy, indicating their strategic use of different investment instruments like convertible bonds and preferred equity. The projected increase in the capital structure aims to leverage Bitcoin's continuing growth, showing a clear path for future financial expansion and investment returns.
