MicroStrategy STRC Stock Returns to $100: A Catalyst for Bitcoin Buying 2026
MicroStrategy's STRC preferred stock returns to $100 par value, potentially fueling more Bitcoin purchases. Analysis of the 11% dividend yield and market impact.
Strategy's Bitcoin accumulation machine is revving up again. STRC, the perpetual preferred equity issued by MicroStrategy (MSTR), reclaimed its $100 par value in pre-market trading on Wednesday, potentially triggering a new wave of Bitcoin purchases.
STRC Reclaims Par Value to Fund Bitcoin Purchases
According to CoinDesk, this marks the first time since early November 2025 that STRC has reached this critical level. At par value, Strategy is cleared to sell more shares through at-the-market (ATM) offerings. The proceeds from these sales are historically used to expand the company's massive BTC treasury, which remains the largest corporate holding globally.
The equity had previously dipped to nearly $90 following a period of market volatility. However, the recent recovery coincides with a broader rally, as MSTR common stock also rose 4% to $165 in pre-market action on January 7, 2026.
High-Yield Strategy and Monthly Dividend Reset
Branded as a short-duration, high-yield credit product, STRC currently offers an annual dividend of 11%, distributed monthly in cash. To keep the price anchored near the $100 mark, Strategy resets the dividend rate every month. This year began with a dividend hike to 11%, the fifth increase since the product's inception in July.
