Bitcoin has been range-bound for so long—why is it only now starting to drop? The main reason is that over the past year, two preferred shares have emerged: STRC and SATA. These two instruments enable issuers to use raised funds to accumulate Bitcoin and distribute interest to investors. For months, these have acted like an endless supply of buying pressure, holding the price up. STRC offers an 11.5% annual yield, while SATA offers 13%. STRC pays monthly; SATA pays daily. SATA is backed by Strive, which began accumulating Bitcoin last year. Financially, Strive appears somewhat healthier. But since both are Bitcoin-linked preferred shares, their values tend to slightly decouple from the $100 par value when Bitcoin declines. Both have now retraced around 6%. If you believe Bitcoin will rebound, want to avoid high volatility, and seek steady interest income, this could be a relatively attractive arbitrage opportunity. These two preferred shares are currently the lifeline for new capital. I believe that if Michael Saylor wants to revive MicroStrategy, he must revitalize STRC—even at the cost of selling Bitcoin—to keep the story alive. If the decoupling continues or interest payments are reduced in the future, panic-driven capital will continue to flee. If these preferred shares eventually trade in the $80 range, it could present an excellent entry point for conservative investors.
