"While Strategy has been spurring demand for STRC by making more investors aware of its role as a high-yield money market equivalent, that effort remains in its early stages. We expect STRC to emerge as Strategy's primary funding vehicle as demand increases."
"The perpetual preferred shares that Strategy began selling in 2025 give Saylor a way to keep buying without further punishing the people who already own the common stock. The firm is paying an 11.5% annual yield, reset monthly and hiked several times since launch, to attract capital that it uses to buy an asset currently trading below its cost basis."
"The company has sold about $1.7 billion in common stock and about $470 million of perpetual preferred shares to finance its past seven weekly Bitcoin purchases. Continued issuance of common stock dilutes the value of existing shareholders' holdings."
Strategy Inc. completed a $1.3 billion Bitcoin purchase between March 2-8, acquiring 17,994 Bitcoin. Approximately $900 million came from common stock sales, while $377 million derived from Stretch preferred shares sold at a discount. This represents an acceleration from the previous week when only 3% of funding came from preferred shares, despite management's earlier commitment to prioritize this funding source. The company has now raised $1.7 billion through common stock and $470 million through perpetual preferred shares over seven weekly Bitcoin purchases. Perpetual preferred shares, offering an 11.5% annual yield reset monthly, provide an alternative to common stock issuance that avoids diluting existing shareholders.
