Today’s crypto news to know

Strategy to raise nearly US$1 billion via stock offering to buy more Bitcoin

Strategy (NASDAQ:MSTR), the company known for its aggressive bitcoin acquisition strategy, is launching a nearly US$1 billion capital raise through its new 10 percent Series A STRD preferred stock.

The offering includes over 11 million shares and promises a high fixed yield, making it attractive to yield-hungry investors in a low-rate environment.

Unlike other Strategy offerings like STRK (convertible) or STRF (senior status), STRD offers the highest payout at 10 percent but comes with more risk due to its non-cumulative dividend and junior status. Dividends are only issued when declared, and the shares cannot be called under normal market conditions.

According to Strategy, proceeds will go toward “general corporate purposes,” which notably include expanding its bitcoin holdings.

UK set to lift ban on retail access to crypto ETNs

The UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has announced plans to lift its ban on retail investors buying crypto exchange-traded notes (ETNs), a major shift from its earlier risk-averse stance.

Initially barred due to concerns over volatility and investor protection, the FCA now says consumers should have the right to choose whether these high-risk assets fit their portfolios.

David Geale, the FCA’s digital assets chief, said the move is part of a broader push to ‘rebalance’ the regulator’s approach to financial risk. The proposal enters a public consultation phase and would allow ETNs to be sold on FCA-registered investment exchanges.

However, the FCA emphasized that its separate ban on crypto derivatives for retail traders will remain in place.

This regulatory pivot follows the UK’s introduction of draft laws in April aimed at integrating crypto into the formal financial system.

Metaplanet plans US$5.3 billion warrant offering to scale Bitcoin treasury

Tokyo-based Metaplanet is taking its Bitcoin commitment to the next level with a massive US$5.3 billion stock warrant issuance, the largest of its kind in Japan.

The company is offering 555 million shares through stock acquisition rights, using a novel moving-strike pricing model that adjusts with market value—a first in the Japanese market.

This “555 Million Plan” follows an earlier US$600 million raise and is part of Metaplanet’s goal to hold over 210,000 BTC by 2027, approximately 1 percent of total bitcoin supply.

The vast majority of the proceeds—around 96 percent—will go toward direct BTC purchases, while a small fraction will support debt management and derivative strategies like selling puts.
