STRC
STRC is rated sell. Recent disclosures that Strategy sold roughly $216M of Bitcoin to make distributions for securities tied to its BTC holdings raise funding and forced-selling risks for BTC-treasury companies and their equity-like securities.
Recent proof-backed thesis calls
One recent call argues Strategy (Michael Saylor / formerly MicroStrategy) sold about $216 million of Bitcoin to fund dividends on securities such as STRC. The sale—characterized as a small share of total BTC holdings—contradicts earlier “never sell” messaging and highlights the risk that BTC-treasury issuers may liquidate BTC at unfavorable times to meet obligations.
Discussion centers on Strategy (MicroStrategy, MSTR) selling Bitcoin again—potentially to fund preferred dividends (e.g., STRC/STRF)—and what that signals for MSTR common and its preferreds. Two competing interpretations: (1) selling BTC is bearish (recurring seller, reduces BTC-per-share/NAV support, implies dilution/pressure), or (2) selling can trigger short-covering rallies in MSTR/related instruments, while BTC price resilience during the selling is a supportive signal.

Discussion suggests Strategy (Michael Saylor / formerly MicroStrategy) sold ~$216M of Bitcoin to fund dividends on its securities (notably STRC), which partially conflicts with prior messaging like “never sell.” Sale is described as a small percentage of their BTC holdings, but highlights funding/liquidity risk for BTC-treasury companies and the possibility they may sell BTC at unfavorable prices when servicing obligations.
Current stance
Recommendation: sell. Rationale: company-specific forced-selling risk is bearish for BTC-treasury equities relative to holding BTC directly, since payouts funded by asset sales can pressure market price and widen discounts.
