On Wednesday, the trading volume of the perpetual preferred shares Strategy (MSTR) "Stretch" (STRC) was approximately $333 million, making it the seventh-largest daily volume since their debut in July 2025. Despite high activity, STRC shares remained steadily high throughout the session, staying near the nominal value of $100. This stability prompted CEO Michael Saylor to note: "One cent volatility, $330 million liquidity, closing at par."

STRC is designed as a short-term high-yield credit instrument that offers users monthly dividends of 11.5% annually. Its structure encourages trading at a price close to par, allowing Strategy to effectively utilize its Bitcoin issuance program on the (ATM) to raise capital for additional Bitcoin purchases.
Estimates suggest that on Wednesday, the company could have purchased over 2,000 BTC through STRC ATM. The broader goal of STRC is to provide double-digit returns with minimal price volatility, effectively combining income generation with capital stability.
In pre-market trading, Strategy shares slightly declined — to around $127 — while STRC continued to trade at approximately $100 par value.
