Strategy’s STRC Reaches $100 Par After $2 Billion in Buybacks
Strategy’s Stretch preferred stock, STRC, has reached its par value of $100 for the first time since May. This comes after the company executed over $2 billion in buybacks and five months of increasing rates aimed at stabilizing the stock price. Earlier this year, STRC traded below $80, reflecting a big discount. With the price now at par, the company plans to resume issuing new shares, which funds its bitcoin purchases.
Chairman Michael Saylor had committed to maintaining the stock at or above this level while keeping the dividend at 12%. Recently, shareholders voted to approve daily dividends for STRC and three other preferred stocks, eliminating the semi-monthly drops that contributed to price volatility. The first daily payment was made on Monday, with the November rate set at $1 per share.
The recovery of STRC is big since the company holds 849,327 BTC, with a position currently about 4% above water. Maintaining the stock at par allows Strategy to meet its financial obligations through new preferred issuance instead of selling bitcoin. This situation matters for traders as it could influence trading dynamics and the market perception of Strategy’s financial health.
