Strategy made headlines last week after acquiring 22,337 Bitcoin, valued at over $1.18 billion, through its STRC preferred stock between March 9 and 15.
This marked the largest weekly BTC purchase of 2026. Since its launch in July 2025, STRC has become a central tool for Bitcoin accumulation.
Peak daily purchases have exceeded 4,000 BTC, while weekly acquisitions topped 7,000 BTC, far surpassing the daily mining supply of roughly $30–35 million.
According to Delphi Digital, STRC assists in the conversion of fixed-income money into more demand for Bitcoin.
In the case of STRC, there are many investors seeking higher yields, and they like the idea of investing in STRC because of the 11.5% return on investment annually, with low volatility.
However, every dollar invested ultimately leads to the purchase of BTC, which does not rely on the mood of the market.
In January, STRC invested $119 million worth of BTC, increasing to $377 million in just one week. Since the beginning of STRC, almost 34,000 BTC have been invested, totaling $3.56 billion.

How the STRC Mechanism Works
STRC is perpetual preferred stock with a par value of $100 and a changing dividend rate to keep the price near $100. When the stock price is $100 or higher, new shares are issued through the ATM program, and funds are used to buy Bitcoins.

This provides investors with a high-yielding investment with low volatility, as well as financing for BTCs with no dilution to existing shareholders.
Even though the price of BTC fell below $70,000, STRC continued to accumulate large quantities of $300M and $409M, which were near the lows.
B. Riley gave Strategy and Strive a Buy rating, and they say “Digital Credit” is a sustainable model. As long as the long-term rate of return for Bitcoin is above 8-12.5% and STRC’s yield, the system will sustain itself.
Structural Implications for Bitcoin
This is because STRC not only affects weekly buying. Money market funds have over $6 trillion. Therefore, even if a small portion of this is moved to STRC, it can increase the demand for BTC considerably.
The STRC purchases of 5,315 BTCs between March 1 and 7 were 1.7 times the total Bitcoins mined. STRC’s growing volume represents a steady and price-insensitive demand for Bitcoin.

STRC’s dividend obligations amount to $442 million annually, and the company has raised its dividend for seven consecutive years to sustain the process.
This may be a steady and compounding source of demand for BTC, independent of the cryptocurrency space.
