Strategy Inc Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Stretch Preferred Stock

STRC

Market cap $2.8B

Strategy (for which I said “Sell” on 2/13/26), is more than just a stock or even bitcoin play. It's actually the parent of four high-yielding children, more specifically preferred stocks. I can dislike parent MSTR but still like one or more of its children. It's like me being a customer of Citigroup and Schwab but hating bank and brokerage stocks. My favorite child, and I think MSTR's favorite too, is a so-called treasury credit nicknamed “Stretch” with a ticker STRC. An adjustable dividend keeps the price near par. Buy.

Strategy Inc (MSTR) Q4 2025 Earnings Call Transcript

Strategy (NASDAQ: STRC), formerly MicroStrategy, is issuing its first monthly dividend payment of 2026 next Saturday, January 31, continuing the schedule established in August last year when the company started rewarding holders of its Variable Rate Series A Perpetual shares.

Strategy's preferred stocks are evaluated, with a focus on STRC, STRK, STRF, and STRD for investment merit. MSTR's business model relies on capital raises to accumulate Bitcoin, lacking operational income to support fixed obligations during BTC downturns. STRD is rated Buy among the preferreds, despite lacking cumulative dividends or conversion features, due to its risk/reward profile and current market pricing.

Strategy's STRC preferred stock offers a 10.8% yield, trading near $97, with a board-adjusted dividend targeting a $99–$101 price range. STRC is a high-yield, Bitcoin-backed income instrument, with heavy overcollateralization and return-of-capital distributions, but lacks a hard price peg or FDIC insurance. STRC suits investors bullish on Bitcoin and Strategy's model, seeking high yield and willing to tolerate price volatility and occasional de-pegs.

If you're interested in bitcoin, Strategy (MSTR) is worth a very close look. It's main “business” is bitcoin treasury – i.e., it buys and holds bitcoin. But that's just the start. It's “intelligent leverage” program, opportunistic capital raises and coin purchases, helps the company outperform bitcoin prices. MSTR now trades at a premium to the value of its bitcoin, but a narrower premium than in the recent past. That's OK. Intelligent leverage deserves some sort of premium.
