Bitcoin Price Fell 40% Since STRC Launched: Is Strategy BTC-Buying Instrument in Trouble?
The discount has lifted STRC’s effective yield above 12.9% and slowed Strategy’s at-the-market share issuance, analysts said.
- On Thursday, Strategy's STRC fell to a record low of $82.53 before closing at $88.59, remaining below its $100 par value and contributing to a sharp slowdown in Bitcoin accumulation.
- Launched in July 2025, STRC was designed to trade near $100 through adjustable dividends of 11.5% annualized, with proceeds used to acquire Bitcoin; trading 13% below par has revived criticism of the model.
- Strategy purchased 1,587 BTC for $100 million in the week ending June 15, a sharp decline from April when the company bought 34,164 BTC for $2.54 billion in a single week.
- Critics argue STRC looks like a "classic centralized Ponzi," while Strategy sold 32 BTC worth about $2.5 million earlier in June to help cover dividend obligations.
- Michael Saylor, Strategy's CEO, noted the company could pay STRC dividends for 32 years under current conditions, even as Bitcoin prices dropped below $60,000 this month.
