Strategy's STRC Sees Record Trading Volume After $1B Bitcoin Acquisition

News Flash 2026-04-15 03:11

Strategy's perpetual preferred stock, STRC, experienced a surge in trading volume, reaching over $1.1 billion daily, following the company's acquisition of 13,927 Bitcoin for approximately $1 billion. This purchase, completed between April 6 and April 12, brings Strategy's total Bitcoin holdings to 780,897, acquired at an average price of $75,577 per coin. The acquisition was funded through at-the-market sales of 10.02 million STRC shares, generating around $1 billion in net proceeds. The STRC stock, launched in July 2025, is designed to provide stable returns with a variable annualized dividend rate, currently at 11.50%. This structure allows Strategy to efficiently raise capital and convert it into Bitcoin, minimizing typical market frictions. Despite the record trading activity and increased market cap, analysts express concerns about the sustainability of this model, citing potential risks related to financial leverage and market access. Critics warn that without sufficient income or additional financing, Strategy may face pressure to sell assets or issue more shares, impacting both preferred and common shareholders.
