The preferred security STRC, issued by Strategy (MSTR), recorded a record-breaking $1.16 billion in daily trading volume, significantly exceeding its 30-day average of $278 million. The surge is estimated to have funded the purchase of roughly 7,800 units of Bitcoin, marking what could be the largest single-day addition since the security’s debut.
This spike in activity follows a recent $1 billion Bitcoin purchase funded entirely through STRC offerings. The security carries an 11.5% annual dividend paid monthly in cash and maintained its $100 par value throughout the trading session, indicating sustained investor confidence despite heavy trading volumes.
Market Capitalization Growth Pushes STRC Ahead of Other Preferred Securities
STRC has rapidly expanded in scale, reaching a market capitalization of approximately $6.4 billion. This valuation now exceeds the combined value of Strategy’s other preferred securities, including STRD at about $1.1 billion, STRK at roughly $1 billion, and STRF valued near $1.2 billion.
Historically, trading activity tends to peak just before the ex-dividend date, scheduled for Wednesday, suggesting Tuesday’s volume could potentially surpass Monday’s record. Meanwhile, Strategy’s common shares also reflected bullish sentiment, rising 2.9% during Monday trading and gaining an additional 3.7% in pre-market activity.
