Saylor Says ChatGPT Helped Design $15 Billion of Bitcoin‑Backed Securities

The disclosure could force clearer rules on when companies must reveal AI’s role in creating new financial products.

Overview

  • Michael Saylor disclosed on Thursday that he used ChatGPT to help design hybrid preferred securities that he says raised about $15 billion for Strategy Inc.
  • Reporters and filings name two headline instruments: STRK, a convertible preferred that began with a roughly $2.5 billion IPO and a large shelf registration, and STRC, which pays a variable monthly dividend to hold price near par.
  • Strategy says most proceeds were used to buy more Bitcoin, leaving the company with roughly 840,000–850,000 BTC by recent counts and deepening its concentration in a single asset.
  • Saylor and coverage emphasize the AI output served as an ideation blueprint that lawyers, underwriters and regulators then reviewed rather than replacing standard legal and accounting processes.
  • The public disclosure and recent SEC filings plus flagged on‑chain transfers have prompted scrutiny over disclosure rules, who bears legal responsibility for AI‑informed deal design, and the risks to investors and creditors if Bitcoin falls or liquidity tightens.
