Shares of Strategy’s “Stretch” preferred stock (STRC) were actively traded on Wednesday, with a volume of approximately $333 million. This was the seventh-highest daily trading volume since the stock began trading in July 2025.

Even with a lot of trading happening, STRC stayed remarkably close to its original price of $100 all day. It was so stable that our chairman, Michael Saylor, pointed out that even a tiny price change of just one penny meant $330 million in trades, and it ultimately closed right at that $100 mark. As an investor, that kind of stability, backed by that volume, is really encouraging to see.

STRC is a short-term investment that aims to provide high returns, currently paying an 11.5% annual dividend in monthly installments. It’s structured to encourage trading near its face value, which helps Strategy raise funds for buying more Bitcoin through its standard issuance program.

STRC.live estimates suggest the company likely purchased over 2,000 Bitcoin on Wednesday using STRC ATMs.

As an analyst, I can tell you that STRC’s main goal is to achieve strong returns – ideally in the double digits – while keeping price swings to a minimum. Essentially, we’re aiming for a strategy that generates income *and* protects your investment.

I checked the pre-market prices this morning, and Strategy shares were down a little, around $127. STRC, though, was holding steady right at $100.
