Strategy2026-07-22 05:00:13Cantor Says Strategy’s Recovery Depends on Restoring STRC to ParCantor said Strategy’s near-term recovery hinges on bringing STRC preferred stock back to par, arguing this would help restart its bitcoin acquisition engine and stabilize the company’s capital structure. The firm’s recent $216 million bitcoin sale to fund dividends underscores that priority.530
Bitcoin treas2026-07-04 01:30:14How Strive’s Acquisition of Semler Signals a New Phase for Corporate Bitcoin Treasury StrategyOn September 22, 2025, Strive, Inc. (Nasdaq: ASST) announced a definitive all-stock agreement to acquire Semler Scientific, Inc. (Nasdaq: SMLR), marking one of the earliest major consolidations between publicly traded Bitcoin treasury companies. The transaction offers Semler shareholders a 210% premium, with each Semler share converting into 21.05 Strive Class A shares. At the same time, Strive disclosed the purchase of 5,816 BTC for $675 million at an average price of $116,047 per Bitcoin, bringing its standalone treasury to 5,886 BTC and positioning the combined company to hold more than 10,900 BTC after closing. The deal is notable not just for scale, but for strategic design. Unlike Strategy’s debt-led accumulation model, Strive says it plans to finance future Bitcoin purchases exclusively through perpetual preferred equity, aiming to reduce refinancing risk and avoid the fragility associated with debt maturities in volatile markets. The article also explores why the BFC connection matters, how Semler’s profitable diagnostics business and FDA-cleared QuantaFlo platform add optionality beyond treasury assets, and why the 210% premium may influence future valuation frameworks for Bitcoin treasury companies. More broadly, the merger suggests that corporate Bitcoin adoption is evolving from isolated balance-sheet experimentation into a more mature phase shaped by capital structure innovation, M&A, governance design, and competition around Bitcoin-per-share growth.810
Strategy2026-07-03 22:31:37Strategy Reshapes Its Digital Credit Capital Framework as BTC Monetization Debate IntensifiesGalaxy Research head Alex Thorn described Strategy’s capital management overhaul announced on Monday as a major turning point for the company. The move came after weeks of pressure across Strategy’s preferred equity-based “digital credit” structure, with preferred stock STRC falling below its $100 par value and hitting a record low of $71.25 on June 26. That price action raised growing concerns over how the company would continue meeting its expanding preferred dividend obligations. In response, Strategy introduced a new digital credit capital framework that includes a board-approved U.S. dollar reserve policy, a revised STRC dividend policy, a $1 billion authorization to repurchase preferred securities, a separate $1 billion MSTR common stock buyback authorization, and a BTC monetization plan. The board also increased STRC’s annualized dividend rate from 11.5% to 12% for semi-monthly dividends with record dates on or after July 1. Markets reacted positively, with MSTR rising 12.6% to around $92.70 and STRC gaining 12.2% to about $83.70. Still, Thorn argued that while the measures are prudent, they do not fully eliminate deeper structural pressures, including ongoing payment obligations and $6.7 billion in convertible debt maturing in 2027 and 2028. The central issue, he said, is not asset sufficiency but dollar liquidity and whether Strategy can meet obligations without materially harming BTC holders, MSTR shareholders, or preferred investors.540
Strategy2026-07-03 22:01:33Strategy Resets Its Digital Credit Capital Framework as Buybacks, Higher Dividends, and Potential BTC Sales Stir DebateGalaxy Head of Research Alex Thorn described Strategy’s newly announced capital management changes as a major turning point for the company. The move came after growing pressure across its preferred equity-based “digital credit” structure, with STRC falling below its $100 par value and hitting a record low of $71.25 on June 26. Investors had increasingly questioned how Strategy would continue funding rising preferred dividends. In response, the company introduced a new framework that includes a board-approved dollar reserve policy, revised STRC dividend terms, a $1 billion preferred securities repurchase authorization, a $1 billion MSTR common stock buyback authorization, and a plan that could involve monetizing BTC holdings. Strategy also raised STRC’s annualized dividend rate from 11.5% to 12% for semi-monthly dividends with record dates on or after July 1. Markets reacted positively, with MSTR rising 12.6% to about $92.70 and STRC gaining 12.2% to around $83.70. Thorn said the measures are sensible and buy the company time, but warned they do not fully eliminate structural issues, including ongoing payment obligations and $6.7 billion in convertible debt maturing in 2027 and 2028.580
