- Strategy’s STRC preferred stock is tanking, proving that even Michael Saylor can’t magic $100 out of thin air when Bitcoin sneezes. The market is demanding a higher yield because the "soft peg" is as flimsy as a Core Dynamics contract. At $91.79, STRC is trading well below par, forcing Strategy to raise dividends just to keep the lights on. Meanwhile, Strive’s SATA is eating their lunch with daily payouts and a short-squeeze-proof structure. It’s a classic case of meat wallets realizing that aggressive passive income requires actual risk compensation, not just Saylor’s charisma. If you thought the $100 anchor was guaranteed, you’re not an investor; you’re a donation. Check your yield spreads before you get rekt by the math.
