Anchorage acquires Strategy 11.25% perpetual preferred stock with a 11.25% return, Bitcoin reserve strategy supported by banking institutions
On February 25, the cryptocurrency company Anchorage Digital, which has obtained a U.S. banking license, announced that its balance sheet now holds perpetual preferred shares of Bitcoin asset management firm Strategy. This move is seen as an important signal of institutional capital structuring around the Bitcoin ecosystem. CEO Nathan McCauley stated that this is a form of "belief compound effect," meaning that institutions are no longer just holding Bitcoin but are further investing in related infrastructure and asset management businesses.
Subsequently, Strategy Chairman Michael Saylor responded by saying "belief is contagious," implying that more institutions may follow suit by allocating to its income-generating preferred stock products, thereby strengthening capital linkage among institutions around Bitcoin asset strategies. This investment is viewed as a direct endorsement of Strategy's Bitcoin asset management model and also reflects that institutional investors are participating in Bitcoin's long-term value layout through multi-layer structures such as equity and preferred shares.
