Strategy's STRC Preferred Share: Long-Term Obligations for MSTR Shareholders

Strategy's STRC preferred share, offering an 11.5% annualized dividend on a $5.025 billion notional outstanding, is argued to impose costly long-term commitments on MSTR shareholders. According to NS3.AI, the market value of STRC is close to its face value, indicating that investors attribute minimal additional present value to its future dividend stream beyond the initial bitcoin acquired with the proceeds.
