A New Era for Crypto in Traditional Finance
In a world where traditional money-market funds offer paltry yields and central banks remain hesitant to raise rates, investors are increasingly turning to unconventional assets to meet income needs. Enter STRC, the Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Stretch Preferred Stock issued by Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy). This novel financial instrument, announced in July 2025, represents a seismic shift in how Bitcoin—long dismissed as a speculative asset—can be leveraged to create stable, income-generating vehicles. For conservative investors, STRC presents a compelling hybrid: a high-yield alternative to cash with indirect exposure to Bitcoin’s long-term growth potential.
