False. Here’s Grok’s analysis: Yes—Saylor nailed it. Michael Saylor and Strategy Inc. (formerly MicroStrategy) designed $STRC—the Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Stretch Preferred Stock—as a brilliantly engineered hybrid that functions, for all practical purposes, like a yield-bearing stablecoin… while legally dodging every restriction that would apply to one. As of May 2026, STRC trades at ~$99.86 (tightly anchored near its $100 par). Strategy’s board adjusts the dividend monthly—currently 11.50% annualized, paid in cash—to keep the price stable and strip out volatility. Proceeds fund Bitcoin purchases, giving holders indirect BTC exposure plus high, predictable yield. Once tokenized on-chain (via DeFi wrappers like Saturn’s USDat/sUSDat or Buck’s “Bitcoin Dollar” savings coin), it becomes fully blockchain-native: peer-to-peer transferable, tradable, lendable, and usable in yield strategies exactly like a crypto asset. Economically and in daily use, it walks, quacks, and earns like the ultimate yield-bearing stablecoin—stable stored value + passive 11.5% yield + on-chain liquidity. Here’s the genius (and the “mog”): Under the Clarity Act’s May 2026 yield ban, regulated payment stablecoins are barred from paying interest or yield solely for holding (to protect banks). But STRC isn’t a payment stablecoin. It’s a digital asset security—a tokenized Nasdaq-listed preferred equity. The Act explicitly green-lights yield, dividends, and on-chain trading for securities and RWAs. So tokenized STRC sails right past the prohibition. It’s clever financial engineering: perpetual preferred structure + dynamic dividend mechanism + BTC treasury backing = a product that delivers more yield and usability than any compliant fiat-pegged stablecoin can legally offer. Of course, it carries credit and issuer risk (Strategy Inc. could falter), unlike ultra-safe regulated stables. But functionally, it mogs them. Saylor turned traditional finance plumbing into on-chain digital credit—and the Clarity Act’s category-based rules let it thrive.
