Strategy’s STRC nears $100 as company adds 1,287 BTC and raises USD reserve by $62M
The post Strategy’s STRC nears $100 as company adds 1,287 BTC and raises USD reserve by $62M appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Michael Saylor’s Strategy saw its STRC preferred stock trade at $99.89, up 0.22%, and the stock has stayed near this level long enough that, if current conditions continue, STRC could press against $100 for the next nine trading days. The last time STRC traded at par was in early November, when it stayed there for about four trading days and led to roughly $100 million in market sales, according to the data on the company’s website. Strategy’s preferred stock structure adds Bitcoin without upfront dilution Between December 29 and December 31st, Strategy bought 1,287 BTC, pushing its total Bitcoin reserve to ₿673,783, while its USD reserve rose by $62 million, reaching $2.25 billion.

If Bitcoin somehow hits $1 million five years from now, Strategy would still owe the same annual dividend payments worth $55,000, while the Bitcoin holding would be worth $1 million. That leaves a $900,000 capital gain, reduced by dividends paid, for a net gain of $845,000 tied to that position. According to Strategy, the $55,000 in dilution tied to dividend payments is small compared with the $845,000 gain tied to the Bitcoin holding. The model depends on Bitcoin outperforming the 11% dividend rate, with no change to the dividend size as the asset value grows.
