Strategy Inc. Raises $15 Billion for Bitcoin with AI-Designed Financing Tools

Strategy Inc., formerly known as MicroStrategy, has successfully raised $15 billion in capital to fuel its Bitcoin buying spree using AI-designed financing tools. The company's CEO, Michael Saylor, turned to ChatGPT for help after hitting a wall with traditional convertible bonds.

Saylor used the chatbot's answer to design a new class of preferred stock instruments that blend characteristics of both debt and equity. This hybrid structure, which hadn't existed in quite this form before, was instrumental in raising $15 billion in capital.

The company deployed the proceeds into Bitcoin at an aggressive pace, bringing its total holdings to 843,738 BTC as of late May 2026. The AI-designed instruments, including STRK and STRC, were engineered to appeal to income-focused investors by adjusting payouts to stabilize their price near par value.
