Strategy’s STRC Preferred Shares Raise $1.5B, Yield 11.5%, Fuel Bitcoin Buy
Strategy’s STRC variable-rate preferred shares raised $1.5B since last month’s conference, 33% of market cap, and funded the largest Bitcoin purchase of $1.5B while yielding 11.5%. The share issues new units above its $100 par and boosts its dividend below par to sustain demand and price stability.
1. Conference Spotlight on STRC
At last month’s Strategy World conference in Las Vegas, panels focused almost exclusively on STRC rather than Bitcoin marketing, with co-founder Michael Saylor highlighting its appeal to retirees and institutional investors.
2. $1.5 Billion Raised Fuels Bitcoin Buying
Since the conference, Strategy has raised over $1.5B through STRC subscriptions—equivalent to 33% of the product’s market capitalization—enabling the company to execute its largest single-week Bitcoin purchase of $1.5B, while offering investors an 11.5% annual dividend.
3. Designed for Par Value Stability
STRC is engineered to trade near its $100 par value by issuing additional shares when the price exceeds par and raising the dividend when it falls below, a dynamic structure intended to maintain demand and stabilize share price around the target level.
