Strategy to Raise Nearly $1B With STRD Preferred Stock Offering to Accumulate BTC

Strategy (MSTR), the largest corporate holder of bitcoin BTC, has priced the new preferred stock offering designed to give long-term investors a fixed 10% annual return with no management fees.
The firm will sell 11.76 million shares of its 10% Series A Perpetual Stride Preferred Stock (STRD), expecting to bring in an estimated $979.7 million after fees and expenses, according to a press release.
The shares, which sit below Strategy’s other preferred offerings STRF and STRK, are set to settle on June 10. Unlike STRF, which has senior status and lower volatility, and STRK, which is convertible and pays 8%, STRD offers the highest yield among Strategy’s capital products while being riskier.
It comes with a non-cumulative dividend, meaning missed payments won’t accrue, and dividends will only be paid when declared by the board.
STRD is designed to appeal to investors seeking high-yield options. The shares are non-callable under normal conditions, with redemption clauses kicking in only under certain tax events or structural shifts in the company, the release reads.
Strategy says the proceeds of the offering are going to be used for general corporate purposes, which include the acquisition of additional bitcoin.
The firm’s shares are up 1.7% in pre-market trading at $375.

Spanish Police Arrest 5 in Suspected $540M Crypto Fraud Operation

Spanish police arrested five members of a suspected crypto fraud operation that allegedly laundered 460 million euros ($540 million) stolen from over 5,000 victims.
The bust, carried out by Guarda Civil, the armed wing of the country’s law enforcement agencies, saw three arrests from searches in the Canary Islands and two in Madrid on June 25.
The investigation was supported Europol, as well as police forces from Estonia, France and the U.S.
The criminal network raised funds through cash withdrawals, bank transfers and crypto payments, Europol said in a statement on Monday.
Investigators suspect the organization of having set up a corporate and banking network out of Hong Kong to receive, store and transfer criminal funds through accounts in different names and in different exchanges.
The investigation is still in progress, Europol added.

Bitcoin-Gold Price Ratio’s 10% Surge Greenlights Bullish Flag Pattern: Technical Analysis

This is a daily technical analysis by CoinDesk analyst and Chartered Market Technician Omkar Godbole.
The ratio between the per-piece dollar price of bitcoin (BTC) and gold’s (XAU) per-ounce dollar-denominated price rose over 10% to 33.33 last week, registering its best performance in two months, according to data source TradingView.
The double-digit gain, representing BTC’s outperformance relative to gold, marked a breakout from the bull flag pattern. The so-called flag breakout signals a continuation of the rally from lows near 24.85 reached on April 11.
A bull flag pattern is characterized by a sharp uptrend followed by a relatively brief counter-trend consolidation that usually refreshes higher, as is the case with the BTC-gold ratio.
The flag breakout is said to extend the upside by an amount equivalent to the magnitude of the initial rally. So, the ratio could rise to 42.00, topping the record high of 40.73 hit in December.
Previous uptrends in the ratio have been characterized by sharp upswings in BTC’s dollar-denominated price, as observed in late 2024 and in April and May, rather than gold dropping more than BTC.
