STRC leads in liquidity

Strategy founder Michael Saylor said on X that STRC has become the most liquid preferred stock this month. The average daily trading volume of the shares reached $296 million, significantly exceeding figures for issuers such as BA, KKR and FOUR, whose volumes stand at $35.8 million, $33.5 million and $27.6 million, respectively.

In terms of trading activity, STRC also surpassed Strategy’s other preferred shares — STRK, STRF and STRD, which record average daily volumes of $18.8 million, $14.5 million and $14.4 million. Investor interest is further supported by a dividend yield currently standing at around 11.5%.

Among the buyers of the shares is investment firm Strive, which allocated $50 million to STRC — more than a third of its corporate treasury. Strive CEO Matt Cole explained that instead of holding cash reserves with minimal returns, the firm chose to invest part of its capital in an asset offering strong yield potential combined with stable price behavior and high liquidity.

Shares as a mechanism for Bitcoin accumulation

Issuing shares has gradually become part of Strategy’s approach to financing Bitcoin purchases. The issuer uses stock sales as a source of capital to expand its cryptocurrency reserves.

Last week Strategy purchased 17,994 BTC worth about $1.28 billion. To partially fund the acquisition, the company sold 3.8 million shares, generating roughly $377.1 million in net proceeds.

According to estimates from analytics platform STRC.live, Strategy may have directed funds raised through STRC share sales toward the purchase of up to 11,042 BTC this week. If confirmed, this would mark the company’s largest Bitcoin acquisition in 2026 funded through this instrument.

The crypto community is also watching for a potential announcement of a new purchase. According to the prediction platform Polymarket, there is roughly a 98% probability that Strategy will report buying more than 1,000 BTC by March 16.

Why this matters for the crypto market

Strategy’s financial approach is gradually turning the equity market into a channel for capital inflows into Bitcoin. Preferred shares such as STRC provide institutional investors with indirect exposure to BTC through regulated financial instruments.

Companies that have disclosed investments in STRC, in addition to Strive, include Prevalon Energy, Anchorage Digital and OranjeBTC. Their participation indicates that institutional interest in crypto-related exposure remains strong despite market volatility.

Such instruments could increase capital inflows into the crypto industry if Strategy continues to finance BTC acquisitions through share issuance. In that case, publicly traded companies may play an increasingly visible role in the next phase of institutional Bitcoin accumulation.

Earlier it was reported that U.S. banking giant Citigroup reaffirmed its recommendation to buy Strategy shares (MSTR, formerly MicroStrategy). The move signaled continued bullish sentiment on Wall Street toward the company’s Bitcoin-focused strategy. The recommendation followed reports from several firms with similar crypto strategies that disclosed unrealized losses after the recent downturn in the digital asset market. Strategy’s management has nevertheless stated it intends to keep accumulating Bitcoin despite market volatility and temporary financial losses.
