Strategy继续「买买买」,新融资方案能否为市场带来新动力?

近日,Strategy(前称 MicroStrategy)正式向美国证券交易委员会提交文件,计划发行最高 210 亿美元的 8% 系列 A 永续优先股。这一举措引发市场关注,因为它不仅涉及大规模资金筹集,还可能对 Strategy 的比特币购买策略带来深远影响。

据官方文件披露,这些优先股每股面值 100 美元,年化利率为 8% ,每季度支付股息,支付形式可为现金、普通股或两者结合。此外,优先股可按 10: 1 的比例转换为普通股,即每 10 股优先股可转换为 1 股普通股。

此次优先股发行将采用“市场发行计划”模式,即公司可直接在市场上出售优先股,类似于普通股的 ATM 发行。这意味着,Strategy 现已同时拥有普通股和优先股的 ATM 融资渠道。

那么这次优先股的发行与以往有什么不同?这一创新的融资方式是否会为比特币市场带来新的变数?本文将对此做出深入解读。

Strategy 融资方式的演变

在分析 Strategy 最新的融资方式之前,先简单回顾一下其过往购买比特币的方式。

早期阶段,Strategy 作为一家软件公司,使用账面上的闲置现金购入比特币。这个阶段的最初三笔投资买入了 40, 700 枚比特币。

随着公司对比特币的投入加大,他们开始利用可转换优先债券(可转债)进行融资。可转债允许投资者在特定条件下将债券转换为公司股票,既提供了下行保护(债券到期可收回本金和利息),也提供了股价上涨的潜在收益。这个方式买入了 119, 481 枚比特币。

除了可转债,Strategy 还曾发行优先担保债券,这是一种有抵押的债务工具,比可转债风险更低,但收益模式更固定。利用该模式融资,公司买入了 13, 005 枚比特币

随着 MSTR 股价的上涨,从 2021 年开始,公司更多地采用市价股票发行(ATM)方式进行融资。ATM 是一种在美国广泛使用的融资方式,这允许上市公司在公开市场上以当前市场价格直接发行新股,以筹集资金。

而在今年的 2 月 20 日,Strategy 发行了 20 亿美元的可转化优先票据,这种融资方式所需的审查过程比以往更复杂也更耗时,因此当时市场推测 Strategy 购买 BTC 的速度将减慢。

但此次提交审核的 210 亿美元永续优先股又重新让市场对 Strategy 回到“买买买”模式的期待值拉满。

优先股有何不同?

与以往的融资方式相比,Strategy 此次申请的永续优先股在结构上有明显不同。过去,公司主要依靠债务融资和股票增发来获取资金,而这次的优先股发行,则在传统股权融资与债务融资之间找到了一种新的平衡。

优先股与普通股最大的区别在于,它既不完全依赖公司业绩,也无固定到期日和还本要求。它更像是一种“介于两者之间”的金融工具,持有人可以定期获得固定的股息收益,同时在特定条件下转换为普通股。

对于 Strategy 而言,这意味着它可以通过增发优先股持续筹集资金,而无需承担传统债务融资的到期偿还压力。相比于此前发行的可转债和优先担保债券,这种融资方式提供了更大的灵活性,也降低了短期财务负担。

当然,这一模式并非没有代价。优先股的年化利率设定为 8% ,相比 Strategy 过去发行的 0% -0.75% 的可转债以及 6.125% 的优先担保债券,融资成本显然更高。市场对此的核心疑问在于,公司如何支付这笔不小的股息成本。

分析师推测,Strategy 可能通过 ATM 增发普通股弥补资金缺口,甚至直接用新增股票支付股息。这种模式虽然让公司能够短时间内筹资,但也可能带来普通股股东权益被稀释的问题。

是下注的好时机吗?

若 Strategy 的永续优先股获批,无疑将会为比特币市场带来新的动力。

简单来说,这种优先股相当于公司找了一种更灵活、更持久的方式来融资,而这些钱最终会用于买入比特币。

相比过去发行债券或直接卖股票筹钱,永续优先股没有固定的到期日,公司可以一直用它来融资,不需要像还债一样定期归还本金。同时,由于这次的优先股采用了类似普通股增发的模式,Strategy 可以随时根据市场情况出售优先股筹集资金,而不需要像债券融资那样等待审批或寻找特定投资人。

这意味着,Strategy 未来买比特币的速度可能会变快,甚至可以更加稳定地持续买入。

但在目前这样低迷的行情下,启动这样一个较为激进的融资方式是否合适?

高盛高级分析师 James Carter 表示,“Strategy 的 210 亿美元优先股发行计划显示了塞勒对比特币的极度乐观,但在当前市场低迷环境下,如此高杠杆操作可能加剧波动风险。”

花旗集团的金融科技研究员 Michael Evans 则认为,“在加密货币市场整体承压的背景下,Strategy 的选择显示了其对未来趋势的判断。若市场回暖,其回报可能惊人,但当前需关注资金流动及市场情绪变化。”

由于永续优先股融资结构复杂,SEC 审批可能耗时数月。ChainCatcher 编辑部将持续跟进进展。

The Impact of OUSD on Circle, Tether, and Paxos: Not a Simple Negative, but a More Complex Competitive Landscape

OUSD's Impact on Circle, Tether, and Paxos: A Nuanced Competitive Reshuffle The launch of OUSD, a new stablecoin initiative, has complex implications for the stablecoin market. For Circle (CRCL), the initial 15-20% stock drop reflects legitimate competitive concerns but is not a "death sentence." Circle retains deep liquidity, existing integrations, and first-mover advantages. A potential restructuring or termination of its Coinbase partnership could even double its net revenue in the short term, providing more competitive freedom. However, OUSD, backed by Stripe's engineering and product strengths, could become the default stablecoin within the Stripe ecosystem for new adopters, challenging USDC's position. OUSD does not solve the core barrier for corporate adoption: it remains a credit exposure to its issuer (likely a Bridge-related entity), which, like Circle, is not an investment-grade entity. Large banks and asset managers could still capture the most lucrative enterprise use cases. Circle must accelerate its payment/fintech product development and consider defensive M&A. For Tether, OUSD targets a different market segment. Tether will continue focusing on distribution channels not prioritized by Stripe or Circle. Its market share may decline over time, but within a significantly growing total market. Paxos faces the greatest pressure. OUSD undermines the key selling points of its USDG stablecoin, and Paxos's regulatory advantages may diminish as frameworks mature. This poses a more existential challenge, explaining Paxos's recent shift back to its brokerage-as-a-service business.

OUSD's Impact on Circle, Tether, and Paxos: Not a Simple Negative, but a More Complex Competitive Reshuffle

This article analyzes the impact of the newly announced stablecoin OUSD, backed by a consortium including Stripe, on major incumbents like Circle (USDC), Tether (USDT), and Paxos (USDG). For Circle, the announcement is not a simple negative. While the initial market reaction was rational, it's not a "death sentence." Circle retains deep liquidity, existing integrations, and first-mover advantage. A potential restructuring or termination of its exclusive revenue-sharing deal with Coinbase could even near-double its net income in the short term, providing more competitive flexibility. However, within the Stripe ecosystem, OUSD, with its strong engineering and product focus, could become the default choice, displacing USDC for new integrations. Circle must accelerate its own fintech product development and consider defensive M&A. OUSD does not directly threaten Tether's core markets, which focus on different distribution channels. Tether's market share may decline over time but within a significantly growing overall market. Paxos faces the greatest pressure. OUSD undermines the primary value proposition of its USDG stablecoin, and Paxos's regulatory advantages may erode as frameworks mature, posing a more existential challenge. This explains Paxos's recent strategic pivot towards brokerage-as-a-service. A fundamental unresolved issue for enterprise adoption remains: if issued by a Bridge-related entity, OUSD, like USDC, still represents a credit exposure to a non-investment-grade issuer, unless a parent company guarantee is provided. Large banks and asset managers entering the space later could still compete for the most lucrative enterprise use cases.
