Strategy Perpetual Preferred Stock STRC returns to $100, opening a new round of Bitcoin "financing buy-in" channel

Despite the recent continuous pullback in Bitcoin prices, enterprise-level crypto asset deployment has not slowed down. The perpetual preferred stock STRC issued by Strategy (MSTR) returned to the $100 par value range during U.S. trading hours for the first time since mid-January. This key price signal is interpreted by the market as the company's renewed ability to raise capital through the capital markets and continue increasing its Bitcoin holdings. STRC is a financing tool designed by Strategy for long-term Bitcoin acquisition. When its price approaches or exceeds par value, the company can resume the "at-the-market" (ATM) issuance model to continuously raise cash without significantly diluting common shares. The last time STRC traded above $100 was on January 16, when Bitcoin was still around $97,000. Subsequently, as Bitcoin briefly fell to the $60,000 range in early February, STRC was also dragged down to a low of $93.
