The notes carry a 0% coupon, but can be converted into equity in the company if holders choose to redeem their notes for shares.

Strategy has leaned on Stretch to fund Bitcoin buys over the past 12 months as funding through senior convertible notes and at-the-market equity offerings has tightened. Strategy’s perpetual preferred stock, STRC, the company’s primary vehicle for funding its Bitcoin purchases in 2026, hit a new daily trading volume record of $1.5 billion on Thursday. “All-time high volume. $1.53B of liquidity,” chairman Michael Saylor said, referring to Strategy’s Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Stretch Preferred Stock. Stretch offers investors an 11.5% dividend without requiring the company to dilute common shares.
Strategy is approaching the $28 billion issuance limit on its STRC stock, but Delphi researchers pointed to other capital-raising mechanisms that may fuel its BTC accumulation. Strategy’s preferred stock funding engine could hit a key constraint within the next year, potentially slowing the company’s Bitcoin purchases unless it expands issuance capacity or leans more heavily on common-stock sales, according to Delphi Digital. Delphi said Strategy’s Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Stretch Preferred Stock, known as STRC, has become one of the company’s main Bitcoin-buying tools but has an authorized issuance cap of about $28.3 billion. If the cap is reached without an extension, Strategy’s Bitcoin accumulation could “slow or stop while the dividend obligation remains,” the report said.
Strategy’s potential 3,127 BTC buy this week, alongside falling stablecoin dominance, suggests more capital may enter the Bitcoin market. Bitcoin (BTC) may reach $100,000 by June as Strategy’s renewed buying power and falling stablecoin dominance suggest liquidity is returning to crypto. Key takeaways: Strategy’s preferred stock, Stretch (STRC), has reclaimed its critical $100 par value, restoring one of the company’s funding mechanisms for Bitcoin purchases, data from STRC.LIVE shows.

Michael Saylor's comment this week that Strategy might sell portions of its Bitcoin holdings, is a decision that gives the BTC treasury company Strategy, optionality, according to BTC advocate Samson Mow. “Never selling limits optionality. Public markets are war. In war, you need all available tools at your disposal,” Mow said after company co-founder Saylor's comment during Strategy’s first-quarter earnings call on Tuesday. That the company might sell some BTC in the future, Mow added: Strategy is the largest publicly traded Bitcoin treasury company, according to BitcoinTreasuries, and holds 818,334 BTC at the time of this writi…
