The company said it had purchased 21,021 BTC for an average of $117,256 as of July 29th, lifting its holdings to around 628,791 BTC. Currently, the total cost basis is nearly $46.8 billion, approximately $73,227 per BTC.
According to Bitcoin Treasuries datathe strategy currently accounts for 62.3% of all Bitcoin held by publicly available companies.
STRC will be priced at $90 per share at 28,011,111 shares and is scheduled to begin trading on the NASDAQ Global Select Market around July 30th.
The strategy’s net revenue from the offering reached approximately $2.474 billion after underwriting and expenses, helping the company fund the latest Bitcoin acquisition.
STRC will be on sale tomorrow
The strategy framed the STRC transaction as a funding milestone. This is the largest initial public offering in the US (IPO) ever since 2009, and the enduring offer of hope that has been registered in the most extensive exchange since 2009.
Once listed, the company believes that STRC will be the permanent priority security of the first US exchange listing issued by the Bitcoin treasury company to pay its monthly dividends, and that it first adopted the board-determined monthly dividend rate policy.
Security also introduces short-term income-oriented measures into its preferred stock lineup, a strategy aimed at attracting income-focused investors.
Underwriters included Morgan Stanley, Barclays, Maurice & Company and TD Securities as co-book runners, while Benchmark Company, Clear Street, Amerivet Securities, Bancroft Capital, Keefe, Briett & Woods and Maxim Group as co-managers.
The service was sold through effective shelf registration with final prospectus supplements available through the SEC. The transaction is working on a balance sheet model of its strategy of raising capital in the national market and converting it into additional Bitcoin reserves.
