Michael Saylor Raises $2.52B Through STRC Stock With 10% Yield and Built-In Stability
2 Mins Read
Michael Saylor, Executive Chairman of Strategy (MSTR), has raised a potential $2.52 billion through a new preferred stock offering, STRC, offering monthly yields of 9.5%–10.0% and pioneering a structured BTC-backed credit yield curve.
STRC Offering Surpasses Initial Target
Originally expected to raise just $500 million, the STRC issuance exploded to 28 million shares at $90 each, totaling over $2.5 billion, according to a Fidelity market alert. This aggressive capital raise shows continued market confidence in Strategy’s Bitcoin-backed financing model.
STRC joins other preferred share classes—STRD, STRF, STRK—to build out Strategy’s internal yield curve.
Unlike traditional bonds, STRC is perpetual and structured to appeal to yield-focused investors seeking near-par stability with minimal downside volatility.
Built-in Price Control: A Self-Stabilizing Yield Instrument
The STRC stock includes price-stability mechanisms designed to keep its trading range tight around $100:
Raise dividends or halt sales if price dips below $99
Call the stock or issue new shares if price exceeds $101
Variable dividend rate adjusts monthly, pegged to market demand
These tools create a self-correcting ecosystem that provides price predictability—a rare feature for high-yield instruments.
Strategic Use: Fueling BTC Treasury Expansion
The funds raised will be used to continue Strategy’s aggressive Bitcoin acquisition strategy. With BTC trading over $116,000, Saylor’s approach aligns with his long-term belief in Bitcoin as the “apex asset.”
STRC gives Strategy a short-duration senior layer in its funding stack—crucial for managing capital efficiency without relying solely on convertible debt.
Saylor’s latest financial engineering with STRC sets a new precedent for structured crypto-capital markets. It blends stable income for investors with a scalable vehicle for Bitcoin accumulation. As traditional institutions struggle to offer 10% yields with low risk, STRC could draw more attention to crypto-linked finance strategies.
STRC isn’t just another preferred stock—it’s a building block of an evolving Bitcoin-based financial system.
