Strategy's STRC Stock Surges to $100 Par Value amid Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Buzz

Highlights

  • Strategy’s STRC perpetual preferred stock hits $100 par value today.
  • The largest corporate Bitcoin holder would restart its aggressive Bitcoin acumulations.
  • White House Patrick Witt sparks buzz in industry with US strategic Bitcoin reserve announcement.

Strategy’s STRC perpetual preferred stock (STRC) is gaining fresh interest as it has reclaimed its $100 par value after 3 weeks. This development sparked speculation that the company would continue its aggressive Bitcoin accumulation strategy using proceeds raised from STC stock. The move comes amid buzz surrounding the US strategic Bitcoin reserve.

Will Strategy Restarts Bitcoin Accumulation as STRC Stock Regains $100 Par Value?

In an X post on May 8, BitcoinTreasuries revealed that Strategy’s STRC stock just surged to hit $100 par value. The Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Stretch Preferred Stock (STRC) currently pays 11.50% annual dividends, payable monthly in cash.

The $100 level is critical as it enables Strategy to issue new shares through at-the-market (ATM) offerings and use proceeds to make new Bitcoin purchases.

The STRC stock had dipped below par value in recent weeks, causing Strategy to pause its Bitcoin purchases. The largest corporate treasury can now restart buying BTC. Historically, strategy has made huge Bitcoin purchases with STRC proceeds.

STRC stock closed at $99.96 on Thursday, moving just below par with low daily volatility. Trading volume was below the average of 2.57 million. In premarket trading hours on Friday, STRC stock has jumped 0.040% to reclaim its $100 par value.

Meanwhile, MSTR stock is also up more than 1% today after falling 3.74% to $179.84 on Thursday. The stock fell amid Bitcoin’s 3% plunge to $79K and Michael Saylor’s Bitcoin sale proposal.

US Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Momentum

The STRC stock comes amid positive sentiment on digital asset strategy and the US strategic Bitcoin reserve. Notably, White House crypto advisor Patrick Witt said a US strategic Bitcoin reserve announcement is coming within weeks.”

President Trump signed an executive order establishing a U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. He indicated that the announcement will align with President Trump’s executive order, which already directed the executive branch to take steps toward establishing this reserve using seized BTC.

As a result, the odds of the United States establishing a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve before next year increased from 23% to 33% on Polymarket. Meanwhile, the CLARITY Act also nears markup, with White House targeting signing it into law by July 4.
