According to Delphi Digital research, Strategy converts fixed-income capital efficiently into spot BTC buying pressure through STRC floating-rate perpetual preferred shares (par value $100, current dividend yield 11.5%, for the 7th consecutive month in March). During the week of March 9–15, approximately 11.818 million shares were issued and sold, raising a net $1.1804 billion (most of the total financing of $1.5764 billion that week), and purchasing 22,337 BTC, setting a weekly record for the largest BTC purchase since 2026. Since its launch in July 2025, STRC has become its core tool for BTC accumulation, with a peak of over 4,000 BTC funded in a single day and over 7,000 BTC added in a single week, far exceeding daily new mining supply. However, annual dividend obligations have approached $1.05 billion, and the high proportion of preferred shares brings significant dilution and cash flow pressure for common shareholders.
