The post STRC Preferred Stock Dividend Insights and Challenges appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Strategy’s STRC preferred stock dividend structure was always ambitious — a variable-rate instrument designed to fund one of the most aggressive Bitcoin accumulation programs in corporate history. But by late June 2026, STRC had dropped 25% below its $100 par value, the Rosen Law Firm had opened a legal investigation, and Strategy had made its first Bitcoin sale since 2022. The question now isn’t just how STRC works — it’s whether the mechanics that built it can hold it together. Key takeaways STRC is Strategy’s perpetual preferred stock paying a variable dividend currently set at 12% annually, adjusted monthly by the board. Strategy held 847,363 Bitcoin as of early July 2026, funded partly through STRC issuance proceeds via at-the-market share sales. A dividend ratchet raises the rate by 0.5% increments each time STRC falls below $95 — permanently, even after Bitcoin recovers. Strategy
The post Here’s why Strategy’s $216M Bitcoin sale may not be bearish after all appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Strategy’s $216M Bitcoin sell-off disclosure has not sparked the death spiral projected by some analysts last week. In fact, Grayscale now thinks the firm’s $1.25B BTC sale plan could help “support BTC price stability.” In its latest report, Grayscale’s Head of Research Zach Pandl noted, The rebound in the price of STRC suggests investors are now more confident about the instrument. Strategy is selling more Bitcoin. But this will restore confidence in its financing structure and help Bitcoin find a more durable bottom, in our view. Source: Grayscale After Strategy’s disclosure on Monday, the firm’s interest-paying preferred stock Stretch (STRC) briefly climbed above $90 for the first time since the 22nd of June. STRC de-pegged from its $100-parity level in mid-June amid broader market concerns on how the firm would fund dividend obligations as the crypto winter extended
The post Strategy Bitcoin Sale May Steady BTC as Grayscale Sees Less Risk appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Key Insights Strategy Bitcoin sale lifted cash reserves for dividend payments. Grayscale says the move may reduce financing risk around Strategy. STRC’s rebound suggests investors welcomed the stronger cash buffer. Strategy’s $216 million disposal has turned a bearish-looking event into a financing debate. The Strategy Bitcoin sale drew attention as the company moved away from its long buy-only posture, yet Grayscale says the transaction may support Bitcoin price stability by lowering balance-sheet stress. Michael Saylor’s firm sold 3,588 BTC last week, raising about $216 million, and ended the period with 843,775 BTC and $2.55 billion in cash reserves. Bitcoin traded near $63,056 after the disclosure, with traders watching whether the sale signals risk control or more supply pressure.

The post Michael Saylor Reveals the One Metric Keeping MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin Play Sustainable appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Michael Saylor spotlighted Strategy’s BTC Breakeven ARR on Tuesday, July 7. He argued Bitcoin (BTC) only needs 3.3% yearly growth to fund the firm’s preferred dividends from capital gains indefinitely. The metric divides annual preferred dividend obligations, now roughly $1.76 billion by company figures, by the value of the corporate Bitcoin reserve. Saylor called it one of the most misunderstood numbers attached to Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy). What BTC Breakeven ARR Means for MicroStrategy Strategy reports holding 843,775 BTC, worth roughly $53.8 billion with Bitcoin trading near $63,603, and the stack keeps growing. The company disclosed 818,334 BTC in its May earnings release, meaning it added over 25,000 coins through a drawdown. Saylor, the company’s founder and executive chairman, made the case in a Tuesday post on X (Twitter). “One of the mos

The post Could Polymarket’s $6.5mln lawsuit reshape prediction-market disputes? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Two Polymarket traders, William Wood and Thomas Bush, have sued the prediction market platform for breach of contract. The dispute is linked to the market tracking whether Strategy would sell Bitcoin by May. Per the filing, Wood and Bush held the ‘Yes’ share of the binary market, betting that Strategy would sell BTC by the 31st of May. Indeed, the firm confirmed it sold 32 BTC in a SEC filing between 26th and 31st May. Instead of resolving the market to ‘Yes’ based on the disclosure, the platform added new language and concluded it was a ‘No’ after a final review by UMA vote. For Wood and Bush, this was a breach of contract. Source: Polymarket Plaintiffs allege Polymarket breached contract The plaintiffs, represented by Burwick Law, noted that Polymarket posted new “clarifying” language after the disclosure. The question was now reframed from whether Strategy sold Bit
