Strategy's STRC preferred stock hits record low after common share sales.
Strategy's Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Stretch Preferred Stock, known as STRC, closed at $89 on Wednesday after touching an intraday low of $88.51. The drop marks a new record low for the security and places it about 11 percent below its $100 par value. Strategy's STRC preferred stock and Strive's SATA fell sharply on June 18 before recovering, with executives attributing the move to forced selling from leveraged positions rather than credit issues. Strategy sold 2.71 million shares of its common stock last week to raise $335.5 million, directing most of the proceeds into cash reserves rather than Bitcoin purchases. The move lifted the company's US dollar holdings to $1.4 billion while adding only 520 Bitcoin. The action followed a sharp drop in the price of its STRC preferred shares.
