Strategy’s STRC Reclaims Par, Set to Fuel More Bitcoin Buys

• STRC preferred equity has returned to its $100 par value, facilitating new capital raises for Bitcoin purchases.
• The recovery took only nine trading days following the March 13 ex-dividend date, beating the historical 10-day average.
• Strategy currently holds 762,099 Bitcoin acquired at an average price of $75,694 per coin.

Strategic Recovery of STRC

The perpetual preferred equity known as STRC, issued by Strategy (MSTR), reached its $100 par value during Thursday’s trading session. This recovery occurred more rapidly than usual, taking only nine trading days since the March 13 ex-dividend date. Typically, stock prices decrease after an ex-dividend date to account for payouts to shareholders, but STRC's rebound surpassed the historical average of 10 days recorded by STRC.live.

Capital Generation Mechanism

STRC serves as a high-yield credit instrument with an 11.5% annual dividend distributed monthly. The instrument is designed to maintain a price near its par value by adjusting yields. This stability allows the firm to utilize at-the-market (ATM) share issuance to generate capital specifically for acquiring more Bitcoin.

• When shares trade above $100, the company may reduce dividends to stabilize demand.
• When shares fall below par, dividends can be increased to attract new investors.

Portfolio Growth and Market Comparison

While STRC offers an 11.5% yield, a similar instrument called SATA, issued by the bitcoin treasury firm Strive (ASST), provides a higher dividend of 12.75%. SATA is currently trading at $99.25, also nearing its par value. Last week, Strategy expanded its treasury by purchasing 1,031 Bitcoin for $76.6 million, at an average cost of $74,326 per token.

Following this latest acquisition, the company’s total holdings have reached 762,099 Bitcoin. The total investment represents approximately $57.69 billion, with an overall average purchase price of $75,694 per Bitcoin.
