The post Buy STRC and make 28%? Traders say no thanks appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
STRC by Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) is now offering investors more than 28% upside potential if it returns to par and pays its dividends over the next year. But investors keep selling it anyway. Over the last week, STRC has declined 2% and is down 11% in 30 days. These sales in the face of Strategy’s generous offer are votes of diminishing confidence in management, including founder Michael Saylor. As of today, STRC was paying a 12% annualized dividend at full par value of $100 yet was on sale for under $86 per share. If that stock returns to Strategy’s intended $99-100 trading range and pays its dividends, investors would earn a total return of at least 15% on their stock price appreciation plus a stream of semi-monthly dividends.

Key Takeaways Strategy hiked STRC’s dividend to 12% on June 29 while the stock traded near $87. Strategy authorized a $1 billion buyback with STRC as the initial priority target. Peter Schiff said STRC’s sub-$87 price signals Wall Street doubts Bitcoin’s growth pace. STRC, Strategy’s Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Stretch Preferred Stock, traded in the mid-to-high $80s this week, with some sessions dipping under $85. The stock has a 52-week range of roughly $71 to $100, and the gap between its market price and its stated par value has become one of the more debated topics on X in early July. A New Framework, an Old Discount Strategy unveiled a “Digital Credit Capital Framework” on June 29. The plan raised STRC’s annualized dividend to 12%, moved payouts to a semi-monthly schedule, and lifted the company’s USD Reserve to about $2.55 billion. That figure covers roughly 17.
The post Over 15 Banks Race to Tokenize Finance, and It Could Affect Bitcoin appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
More than 15 of the world’s largest banks are building tokenized finance on private blockchains, and JPMorgan says that shift, not MicroStrategy, poses the bigger long-term threat to Bitcoin (BTC). The bank’s analysts, led by Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou, argue that if payments and assets move onto permissioned networks, public blockchains could lose activity, liquidity, and capital over time. Wall Street Is Building Tokenized Finance at Scale JPMorgan’s Kinexys platform has processed more than $3 trillion since inception and now clears over $7 billion a day. JPMorgan built it as Onyx in 2020 and renamed it Kinexys in 2024, as CEO Jamie Dimon kept criticizing Bitcoin. Much of this activity runs on shared permissioned networks. On the Canton Network, DTCC is tokenizing the U.S. Treasuries it custodies, with a 2026 target. HSBC has completed a tokenized deposit pilot there, and Go
