Dividend-Paying STRC Preferred Stock Slides to Near-Historic Lows, Raising Coverage Concerns
Summary
Strategy Inc's dividend-paying preferred stock, STRC, has fallen to near-historic lows, closing at $91.79, which is 8% below its $100 par value. This decline is driven by weaker Bitcoin prices and investor concerns over STRC's dividend coverage. The company recently used cash to repay $1.5 billion of convertible debt, which impacts its cash flow. This follows Strategy Inc's Q1 2026 report of a $12.54 billion net loss, largely due to a $14.46 billion unrealized loss on its Bitcoin holdings.
