 Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of preferred stock from 5,000,000 shares to 1,005,000,000 shares, (iii) an amendment to our 2023 Equity Incentive Plan to provide for automatic equity award grants to new directors upon their appointment to the Board of Directors and (iv) one or more proposals to adjourn the Special Meeting if necessary to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient votes at the time of the Special Meeting to approve the proposals noted above.

In October 2024, we announced an ambitious three-year $42 billion capital plan, known as the 21/21 Plan, to raise $21 billion of equity capital and $21 billion of fixed-income instruments, including debt, convertible notes and preferred stock. Since then, we have been able to seize favorable market conditions to raise over $18.1 billion in net proceeds from sales of class A common stock under our at-the-market equity program and a Rule 144A offering of convertible notes, with the proceeds used to purchase approximately 195,250 bitcoins. In doing so, we have been executing on our 21/21 Plan significantly faster than originally anticipated.

Proposals 1 and 2 for this Special Meeting request an increase in the authorized shares of the capital stock of the Company to support further implementation of our 21/21 Plan and future capital markets activity more generally as well as other corporate purposes. Proposal 1, which seeks an increase in our authorized shares of class A common stock, will enable us to continue to issue both common equity and instruments convertible into class A common stock to allow us flexibility to raise capital in a manner that is most advantageous under then prevailing market conditions. Proposal 2, which seeks an increase in our authorized shares of preferred stock, will similarly enable us to issue preferred stock with rights, preferences and privileges established by the Board of Directors at the time of issuance, which also will allow us to expand the types of securities we offer in furtherance of the 21/21 Plan to the extent market conditions warrant.

In addition, we recently welcomed three new members to our Board of Directors ― Brian Brooks, Jane Dietze and Gregg Winiarski. These directors bring a wealth of experience and expertise in digital assets, capital markets and regulatory matters, and we believe they will make significant contributions to our strategy as a Bitcoin Treasury Company. Proposal 3 for this Special Meeting seeks an amendment to our 2023 Equity Incentive Plan to help ensure that we appropriately compensate new non-employee directors
