Despite the recent continuous pullback in Bitcoin prices, enterprise-level crypto asset deployment has not slowed down. The perpetual preferred stock STRC issued by Strategy (MSTR) has returned to the $100 par value range for the first time since mid-January during U.S. trading hours. This key price signal is interpreted by the market as a sign that the company once again has the ability to raise funds through the capital markets and continue increasing its Bitcoin holdings.
STRC is a financing tool designed by Strategy for long-term Bitcoin acquisition. When its price approaches or exceeds par value, the company can resume the “at-the-market” (ATM) issuance model to continuously raise cash without significantly diluting common shares. The last time STRC traded above $100 was on January 16, when Bitcoin was still around $97,000. Subsequently, as Bitcoin briefly fell to around $60,000 in early February, STRC was also dragged down to a low of $93.
Currently, STRC has rebounded to a key level, creating conditions for Strategy to re-establish a “financing—buying Bitcoin” cycle. This preferred stock is viewed as a short-term high-yield credit instrument, with an annual dividend yield of 11.25%, paid monthly. To reduce the risk of price deviation from par value, the company dynamically adjusts the dividend payout ratio each month, recently increasing dividends to attract capital back.
Meanwhile, Strategy’s common stock MSTR has come under pressure amid Bitcoin remaining around $67,500, closing down about 5% at $126. Although short-term stock price volatility has increased, structurally, the rebound of STRC provides Strategy with a new “Bitcoin financing channel,” and also draws market attention to the linkage between enterprise-level Bitcoin asset allocation and capital structure.
