MicroStrategy has proposed major amendments to its corporate charter on Friday, seeking to increase authorized common shares to 10.33 billion and preferred shares to over 1 billion, as disclosed in a recent SEC filing .

This represents a substantial increase from the current 330 million common shares and 5 million preferred shares.

MicroStrategy’s Share Structure Expansion

The proposal will be presented to shareholders for a vote at the upcoming annual general meeting.

Upon approval, the company would have the ability to issue additional shares without seeking further shareholder authorization.

This amendment would provide the company with flexibility for future issuances without immediate plans to issue new shares.

The expanded share structure could be utilized for various purposes, such as raising capital, facilitating mergers, or enabling acquisitions.

Despite this flexibility, the SEC filing emphasized that the company has not disclosed any specific plans for issuing shares at this time.

By proposing these changes, MicroStrategy seeks to enhance its financial flexibility and prepare for future opportunities.

While the share expansion emphasizes MicroStrategy’s growth strategy, its partnership with STACKIT signals a broader push toward regional compliance and innovation.
