  • Strategy's New Bitcoin Funding Tool Called 'iPhone Moment' Amid Warning Over Hidden Risks
    March 22, 2026, 1:11 PM EDT. Strategy's launch of Perpetual Stretch Preferred Stock (STRC) marks a significant step in corporate bitcoin funding, dubbed an "iPhone moment" by the company. STRC maintains a $100 share price by adjusting dividends, enabling billion-dollar capital raises for bitcoin purchases, with the firm acquiring over $3.5 billion in bitcoin so far. NYDIG notes the product requires unique analysis beyond traditional equity or credit metrics. While STRC offers high yields around 11.5% and has institutional appeal, BitMEX Research warns of risks exceeding those of short-duration U.S. Treasuries. Despite Strategy's substantial bitcoin reserves and cash cushioning dividend payments, analysts caution that the primary risks lie beyond simple dividend coverage. Investors should weigh the novel structure's strengths against potential hidden financial vulnerabilities.
