Strategy Plans to Support $1 Billion Preferred Stock Buyback Through $1.25 Billion Bitcoin Monetization Program

Odaily reported that on June 29, Strategy raised the annualized dividend of STRC to 12% and authorized a $1 billion buyback plan covering four preferred securities: STRC, STRF, STRD, and STRK, with STRC as the initial priority repurchase target. Strategy disclosed that the buyback funds will not come from its approximately $2.55 billion cash reserve, but may instead come from the concurrently approved $1.25 billion Bitcoin monetization program. STRC traded in the mid-to-high $80 range this week, dipping below $85 on some trading days, falling short of Strategy's long-term trading target of $99 to $100. Peter Schiff stated that prices below $87 for STRC indicate Wall Street's skepticism regarding the pace of Bitcoin growth. (Bitcoin.com News).
