Preferred shares focused on Bitcoin represent about $12 billion in the global fixed-income market, allowing companies to finance Bitcoin purchases while paying dividends linked to their Bitcoin holdings. These shares have no maturity date and can be issued more when their price exceeds par, with proceeds used to buy more Bitcoin. This model relies on Bitcoin's price rising faster than dividend costs, potentially offering higher yields than many cash investments, but carries risks related to the issuing company and Bitcoin's long-term value. As of October 5, preferred-share financing helped accumulate nearly 136,000 BTC, showing a growing but still small segment compared to the overall $150 trillion fixed-income market.
