Michael Saylor’s Bitcoin-focused firm MicroStrategy is nearing a purchase of 2,000 BTC through its STRC stock vehicle. According to tracking data, the Strive Digital Credit ETF opened at nearly $100, with thousands of shares issued pre-market. STRC differs from MicroStrategy’s flagship MSTR stock by focusing on yield generation rather than direct Bitcoin exposure, attracting significant retail investor ownership.
MicroStrategy is approaching an acquisition of over 2,000 Bitcoin through its STRC stock, as data from BitcoinTreasuries.Net shows. The Variable Rate Perpetual Stretch Prf Shs Series A product differs from the company’s primary MSTR stock. MSTR acquires and holds Bitcoin directly on its balance sheet, making it more volatile.
STRC focuses on yield rather than direct BTC exposure, offering greater stability. The Strive Digital Credit ETF opened at $99.99 with 4,000 shares in its first minute. Additional data indicated that 79,000 shares were issued through at-the-market transactions during pre-market hours.
Before the opening bell, 57.48 Bitcoin had already been accumulated. The STRC account on X noted, “First active open in nearly a week.” Its Bitcoin accumulation per minute chart further confirmed this trading activity. At press time, the STRC stock traded at $100.02.
MSTR stock was priced at $124.83 after a 2.79% hike in the last session. MicroStrategy now holds approximately 762,099 Bitcoin in its treasury. CEO Phong Le recently highlighted that retail investors own 80% of STRC shares, nearly double the retail ownership of MSTR.
This structure positions STRC as a more reliable option, offering shareholders an attractive yield of about 11%. Both stocks provide a framework required for MicroStrategy‘s growth as a leading Bitcoin treasury company. The yield-generating feature of STRC makes it a viable alternative to the highly volatile MSTR.
