Preferred Stocks Issued at 20% Premium?
Observing the preferred stock issuance conditions, the three preferred stocks have quietly increased from the initial issuance prices of $80 and $85 to $124, $125, and $95. The numbers in the table are calculated based on the nominal amount and net proceeds, which include issuance costs, so the actual issuance price may be higher.
This demonstrates that MicroStrategy's preferred stock fundraising has successfully attracted market funds, as investors can receive fixed quarterly dividends with downside protection at $100, making it an attractive investment option unless MicroStrategy goes out of business.

TD Cowen Raises MSTR Target Price to $680
Investment bank TD Cowen predicts BTC will reach $155,000 by December this year, and given that Strategy is the world's largest BTC holder, this will almost certainly drive up the company's stock price. TD Cowen also raised the Strategy stock (MSTR) target to $680 per share. Additionally, it rated Strategy's three preferred stocks as "Buy", stating that these securities "offer compelling yield and price appreciation potential with expected volatility lower than common stock or underlying BTC", with the following target prices:
- MSTR: $680
- STRK: $140
- STRF: $126
- STRD: $112
