Michael Saylor promotes STRC as a lower-volatility alternative to BTC and MSTR.

ChainCatcher report, according to Bitcoin.com, Strategy’s Executive Chairman Michael Saylor recently published a post explaining STRC’s low-volatility positioning as a Bitcoin-related investment instrument. STRC is Strategy’s perpetual preferred stock, offering an annual dividend yield of 11.5%, paid monthly in cash, with the dividend rate adjusted monthly to encourage trading near its $100 par value and reduce price volatility. Saylor stated that STRC is a credit product designed for income, stability, liquidity, and principal protection, backed by the company’s Bitcoin and USD assets, with a preferred stock structure offering greater scalability and durability than debt. Strategy proposes changing the STRC dividend payment frequency from monthly to bi-monthly (on the 15th and at month-end), maintaining the same annual dividend amount, aiming to stabilize price, dampen cyclical fluctuations, and enhance liquidity. Saylor used a metaphor to distinguish the three: STRC is a commercial airliner, BTC is a fighter jet, and MSTR is a rocket ship. Strategy currently holds 818,334 Bitcoin, representing approximately 3.9% of the total 21 million supply. STRC has grown to a size of $8.5 billion within nine months.
