Strategy, previously named MicroStrategy , is scaling up its Bitcoin mission . Through a combination of confidence and capital, the firm has registered an offering of 8.5 million shares of its 10% Series A Perpetual Strife Preferred Stock at $85 per share. The scheme is anticipated to generate an enormous $711.2 million, funds heading straight into Bitcoin and boosting its day-to-day finances. Strategy announces pricing of its Strife Perpetual Preferred Stock ($STRF) Offering and upsizes the deal from $500M to $722.5M $MSTR https://t.co/GJVCRwIQ0Y — Michael Saylor⚡️ (@saylor) March 21, 2025 The offering that will be closing on Tuesday, March 25, 2025, guarantees investors a 10% annual dividend return. Strategy’s decision to raise almost $211 million more than planned reflects strong investor demand and, perhaps, a growing conviction in the long-term value of Bitcoin. Initially, the company targeted to sell $500 million with only 5 million shares of the same stock. Strategy purchased a whole batch of 130 BTC this week for $10.7 million, which means they spent $82,982 on each BTC on average. The most recent transaction raised the value of the company’s Bitcoins to 499,226, which is around 2.37% of all the Bitcoins that are currently in circulation. Founder and chairman Michael Saylor hasn’t been shy about his endgame. “Bitcoin is our strategy,” he has made clear through both word and wallet. By using this, a novel model has arisen within Strategy in which not only crypto is being held, but its use has led to the establishment of a fully functional business model. Some companies might take a small step, but Strategy goes the whole hog. After the sale of 123,000 shares of 8.00% Series A Perpetual Strike Preferred Stock, the company rose to the sum of $10.7 million. The exact amount was used to buy 130 Bitcoins. Furthermore, in a world where treasuries typically mean cash or bonds, this kind of discipline is unique. As a matter of fact, Strategy actually has not sold any A Class common stock in the recent past to imply its determination based on the progressive financial task and only through the current and future Bitcoin-centric strategy. This is not only a crypto investment , it is a financial philosophy in action. Strategy is one such example. Reports show that 170 institutions, including governments and fund managers, are now holding around 3.1 million Bitcoins in their treasuries. The message is loud—Bitcoin is no longer fringe. It is now an integral part of the financial mainstream that defends against inflation and currency instability. To expand its capital firepower, Strategy has greenlit plans to issue up to $21 billion worth of its 8.00% Series A Perpetual Strike Preferred Stock using an at-the-market offering program. This may seem excessive, but in the volatile world of crypto, liquidity is king, and boldness gets rewarded—or punished—with equal speed. On the dividend front, the company also declared a quarterly payout of $1.24 per share on its existing 8.00% Series A Perpetual Strike Preferred Stock. Starting in 2025, these payments will land every quarter, sweetening the deal for investors willing to ride out the volatility.

Facing the strategic urgency, France is changing course: to support its defense industry, the State is asking citizens to invest at least 500 euros in a fund managed by Bpifrance. An unprecedented call for popular savings, against a backdrop of increasing geopolitical tensions and accelerated rearmament, which intrigues as much as it raises questions about the risks and ambitions of such a financial commitment. The Minister of Economy unveiled this week a new participatory financing initiative aimed at supporting companies in the defense industry. A fund of 450 million euros will be set up by Bpifrance, and the French will have the opportunity to invest starting from 500 euros. Eric Lombard, CEO of Bpifrance, states that “the goal is to provide equity to companies in the sector, which need to raise 5 billion euros to increase their industrial capacities.” This fundraising aims to support key players in armament and defense so they can respond to the new orders from the State and the growing needs of the international market. The main characteristics of this investment are: “It is corporate capital, it takes time for companies to ramp up,” explained Eric Lombard. He emphasizes the necessity of a long-term commitment. The goal is to enable manufacturers to increase their production capacities, particularly in the sectors of military aerospace, armored vehicles, and cybersecurity technologies. The idea of directing citizens’ savings towards defense in France fits into a broader logic of reorienting private capital towards strategic sectors. But beyond the investment opportunity, the question of financial risk arises sharply. Unlike traditional savings products, this fund falls under private equity, a sector with high return potential in France, but also more volatile. The government has so far provided no guarantee of returns, which raises questions about the attractiveness of this investment. While some experts see this initiative as an opportunity for citizens to actively support the national industry, others worry about the lack of visibility on the profitability of the operation. “These will be good investments, as we will need to increase our defense efforts over the long term,” attempted to reassure Eric Lombard, without providing concrete elements on the prospects of gains. On the political and economic front, this initiative could open the door to other mechanisms for mobilizing private savings to finance key sectors in France. In the longer term, if the success is achieved, other strategic industries like energy or aerospace could benefit from similar arrangements. It remains to be seen if the French will respond to this call for patriotic investment, or if they will prefer more secure investments in an already uncertain economic context.

People - crypto price pairing to the dollar is being suppressed until regulation passes for State and Federal reserves and Stable Coin regulation (GENIUS act). Your job is to front run. Estimates for these regulations hitting senate floor votes range from 60-120 days. That’s

What usually happens historically is QE is front run and then sold off, then a serious cycle begins after the bloodbath

A Bitcoin-focused bill has been introduced in the Minnesota state senate, aiming to modernize the state’s financial system and encourage cryptocurrency adoption. The Minnesota Bitcoin Act (SF2661), sponsored by Senator Jeremy Miller, aims to legalize Bitcoin and affirm the possibility of using digital currencies for state-related transactions. If enacted, the bill would allow the Minnesota State Board of Investment to invest state money in Bitcoins and other virtual currencies in the same way that it invests in stocks or bonds. Likewise, state employees may choose to incorporate the Bitcoin investment into their employee retirement funds, which will expand investment opportunities. The bill also allows residents to pay taxes and fees to the state using Bitcoin. This amplifies similar actions that are being undertaken by other states, such as Colorado and Utah, which are trying to incorporate virtual assets into the economy. One of the provisions of the legislation relates to the taxation of cryptocurrency income. Some Bitcoin and other digital asset gains would be eligible for deductions that can help reduce assessable income. As noted by Miller, this approach sought to bring in more investments from the cryptocurrency realm and also offer benefits to residents on the economic front. Miller emphasized that the use of digital currencies is prevalent, and Minnesota had to be at the forefront of this movement. He said that cryptocurrencies can bring new financial prospects and increase the economic potential of the state. “I believe global digital currencies are here to stay, and it’s inevitable that they become more and more mainstream,” Miller noted. Minnesota follows other states that are considering bills for investing in crypto assets. Both Arizona and Texas have come up with similar bills, which shows the growing adoption of state legislation on digital assets. On March 11, lawmakers of the Texas House of Representatives submitted House Bill 4258, which proposes that the state’s chief financial officer invest up to $250 million of the state’s economic stabilization fund in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Arizona’s Senate also passed the Strategic Digital Assets Reserve bill (SB 1373), which seeks the creation of an Arizona Digital Assets Reserve Fund under the management of the Arizona State Treasurer. At present, at least 18 states are considering crypto reserve bills. As CNF recently reported, Oklahoma passed the Bitcoin Freedom Act, allowing state employees to accept, make or receive payments in Bitcoin. These measures align with a national debate on the use of cryptocurrencies. In July, United States US Sen. Cynthia Lummis introduced the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Act and recommended the US government buy one million BTC within five years. Lummis recently reintroduced the BITCOIN Act on March 12, suggesting that the government will amass more of Bitcoin beyond this initial target. Bitcoin adoption in the United States has already grown with the ETFs, but the community is expecting more with an American Bitcoin-backed reserve.
