STRC is a variable-yield security designed to trade around its $100 par value and strip away price volatility. Consequently, this move aligns with CEO Phong Le’s stated plan to transition from equity capital to preferred capital for funding Bitcoin acquisitions.

Le emphasized this strategic shift in February, noting preferred shares raised $7 billion last year. He said, “We will start to transition from equity capital to preferred capital,” according to his comments.

Meanwhile, the firm continues its aggressive Bitcoin accumulation strategy despite severe market headwinds. The company purchased 592 more BTC in mid-February, bringing its total holdings to 717,722 Bitcoin.

This persistent buying occurs as Bitcoin trades well below Strategy‘s average purchase cost of $76,020 per coin, according to data from the company. Consequently, the firm recorded a staggering net loss of $12.4 billion for the fourth quarter of 2025.

The massive loss contributed to a steep decline in the company’s common stock price. Strategy‘s share price has fallen approximately 75% since its peak in November 2024.
