Strategy Raises Rates to Defend STRC, Sells Coins to Preserve Credit — The Two Most Expensive Paths

Strategy has adopted two drastic measures: raising interest rates to prop up the STRC token price and selling coins to maintain creditworthiness. These two approaches are widely regarded as the 'most expensive paths', implying high short-term costs and potential damage to long-term value.

According to ChainCatcher, the move reflects Strategy's desperate choice under liquidity pressure. While rate hikes can curb selling, they increase funding costs; selling coins can immediately ease repayment burdens, but selling at a discount undermines holder confidence.

Currently, both the STRC price and the company's credit profile remain in a sensitive phase, with the market watching for potential systemic risks ahead.
