Bitcoin (BTC) treasury news: Strive (ASST) aims to raise $500 million with SATS preferred offering
On Friday, October 16, Strive priced 7 million shares of its new SATS preferred stock at $90 each, raising about $630 million gross proceeds before underwriting expenses.
CEO Matt Cole said Strive timed the offering to coincide with expiration of traditional warrants, citing "a massive desire for, actually, income stability" among investors seeking predictable returns.
SATS accrues a 15% fixed dividend daily and ranks junior to Strive's SATA preferred, which currently pays 13% on a variable rate and also distributes dividends daily.
Strive plans to deploy proceeds for general corporate purposes, including additional bitcoin acquisitions, as its total holdings reached 32,773 coins currently worth about $2.7 billion.
At closing, Strive intends to establish a dividend reserve of $22.50 per share, equal to 18 months of payments, while retaining redemption rights if outstanding shares fall below 25%.
