BREAKING: Six American allies have just pledged to secure the Strait of Hormuz shipping lanes.
Japan, Britain, France, Germany, Italy, and the Netherlands.
The regime is losing both militarily and diplomatically.
Too many hikes, too fast, will give an air of desperation, which they have no need to give.
I think they will hold and watch. As the next ex-div approaches, $STRC will most likely return to par and no extra cost to Strategy. IT has only been 5 days, and most instruments of this nature take 10-11 days to return.
Everyone is too eager to write it off after only 25% of the trading month has gone by...
Looks like the $STRC dividend rate will be increased by 25 bps to 11.75% for April.
It's been a volatile week across broader markets, and while Stretch has held up well, it's now been 5 days since we last traded at par.
No problem.
Saylor has already made it clear that he's willing to go as high as 15% if needed.
@KylerWalls@ZynxBTC Buy it.
Several dollars below par at 15%yield would be 15-16% annual yield, paid on a monthly basis. I am totally OK with 1.25-1.3%/month guaranteed for at least the next 2 years and will almost certainly go well beyond that.
The 1.5% volatility indicates price stability. Which given that $STRC is pegged at $100 indicates means it sits around par. For a n extremely high % of the time.
Most dividend stocks take time to rebound to par once they go ex-div...which was only 4 days for $STRC. Also, worth noting that it has reached par in 4 of the last 5 months (and will almost certainly do it again this month). Not bad for an instrument that IPO'd 8 months ago and is now realizing traction and demand.
$STRC volatility has reached an all-time low of 1.5%, driving its Sharpe Ratio to an all-time high of 5.37—setting a new standard for risk-adjusted performance.
All the volume for $STRC today has been between $99.72 and $99.90
It’s over $200 million volume now
That means $200 million has changed hands between someone willingly selling STRC $.20 below par
The people doing this are paying $100 for the shares. Selling at $99.80 (losing $.20). The cost basis for their shares dropped to $99.05 (ROC). They pay tax on the $.75 gain (~$.47 at 37% as its short term gains). They net $.28 per share for holding it for about a week (.28%)
This annualizes to 3.4%
What are you even doing here?
Seems like a really poor way to manufacture gains and high high risk of the principal. Rotating to SATA to attempt this is rather dumb given its way more volatile and you have no idea what the hold period will be
If it goes sideways even for a week, you’re losing precious time value. The effort for the return is really poor imo. Just hold STRC for the duration and get 11.5% instead of the silly ex div games
@stackasaurus11 You can sell at $100, leave it in money market at 3.5% for the rest of the month (but only do it in a tax deferred account) net close to 15%. Re-buy near ex-div, price will be $100 and held there by @saylor and @Strategy ATM, or it will be lower and you can buy back for profit
if STRC recovers to $1 today, would a prudent investooooor rotate to SATA to get in before its ex div? if recovery is faster than one month, one should just be flipping between them no?
@alienfromsigns@jpmayall@AdamBLiv $STRC might not crash, but do consider what might happen to yield. This is something that will change based on demand & discretion of management.
Yield is 11.5% now, but expect to see it drop if demand for $STRC continues. Make sure to consider this compared with your HELOC %.
@jpmayall@AdamBLiv Can anyone answer this? In the process of getting a HELOC. Will receive a large amount of cash. How risky is it to dump it all in STRC? Can the price of STRC significantly crash?
@MSTR_Mister@PunterJeff@saylor I would imagine the process is more "compare with cash" vs "compare with yield offered".
They are using STRC as 33% of the cash needed for a FIAT treasury to pay dividends, so they are intelligently earning 11.75% on that rather than simply holding cash.
@PunterJeff@saylor Love the support of mstr but curious how this business model is sustainable?: raise cash at 12.5%+ use proceeds to earn RoR at 11.75% or under. You’re upside down by 75bps or more…
NEW: STRIVE $ASST & $SATA March 2026 update.
We’re building Bitcoin powered Digital Credit & Amplified Bitcoin.
Here’s what changed and why it matters. A🧵👇
@TheNarratorBTC@RetireonDividen But if you use typical margin Reg-T you would only have to reserve approx $1515 ($95 strike vs $100 par). For the $15 earned, that is a ~0.99% monthly return.
This is effectively the same as holding STRC... this is not an accident 😉
@RetireonDividen $9500 capital locked up for 1.8% yield per year, if never assigned gaining $180/y. Vs 9500 buying 95 shares @ 11.5% = $1092.5
If in a taxable account, the put premium = taxable income vs the STRC div payment = ROC
Do you want to buy STRC under $100?
How about $95?
Did you know you can sell puts on STRC?
Right now you can collect $15 for selling a put at $95 strike
That’s not a lot of money but this could get more attractive overtime. Also getting assigned shares at $95 would be great.
STRATEGY'S STRC PAYS AN AMAZING 11.5% DIVIDEND RATE AND RETIREES CAN BENEFIT FROM THE RETURN OF CAPITAL (RoC) TAX TREATMENT.
In today's video, I walk through how RoC works and explain the tax impact on holding STRC in a taxable account, a traditional IRA, and a ROTH IRA.
@betirement Whether people believe in $BTC or $STRC as a product, you did an extremely good job of presenting the three main investment scenarios. Very clear and informative.
Well done. You get a follow just for this video.
@hillery_dan It would be nice if there was an on-chain way to participate in this (for US residents). Loaning against BTC @ 5-6% and using that to soak up 12% would be a helpful carry trade.

@krakenfx@xStocksFi When are xStocks/perps available to US residents?
Since perps are not "actual" xStocks, is it not possible for them to be available to US residents?
@mirgray@thetripathi58 Still doesn't work. Google claims it's to prevent malicious intent (like hackers) but really it's so that you have full storage and have to pay for more. Scam.
