Strategy’s STRC preferred shares fell below $82 on June 25, trading at $81.83 and marking a record low after a 6.3% decline.
According to Odaily, a clear drop in STRC’s price below par value indicates the market is demanding a higher yield as compensation and reflects reduced investor confidence in the company’s credit profile or the stability of future dividends.
The report added that Strategy has previously relied heavily on issuing STRC to raise funds to buy Bitcoin. If STRC trades below par value for an extended period, the company’s financing costs for issuing new shares would rise significantly, effectively requiring it to pay a higher interest rate to borrow funds.
