Strategy Inc.'s perpetual preferred stock, STRC, has seen its 90-day correlation with Bitcoin rise to nearly 0.70, the highest since its July 2025 launch. This increased correlation means STRC now moves more closely with Bitcoin's price, which has dropped nearly 20% recently, causing STRC to fall 23% this month. The tighter link undermines STRC's role as a relatively stable income vehicle tied to Strategy's large Bitcoin holdings. This shift changes the risk profile for investors seeking steady income, as STRC's discount to par limits the company's ability to raise funds to buy more Bitcoin. Market opinions are divided between seeing the current discount as a buying opportunity or a sign of potential structural strain.
