The post STRC Preferred Stock Dividend Insights and Challenges appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Strategy’s STRC preferred stock dividend structure was always ambitious — a variable-rate instrument designed to fund one of the most aggressive Bitcoin accumulation programs in corporate history. But by late June 2026, STRC had dropped 25% below its $100 par value, the Rosen Law Firm had opened a legal investigation, and Strategy had made its first Bitcoin sale since 2022. The question now isn’t just how STRC works — it’s whether the mechanics that built it can hold it together. Key takeaways STRC is Strategy’s perpetual preferred stock paying a variable dividend currently set at 12% annually, adjusted monthly by the board. Strategy held 847,363 Bitcoin as of early July 2026, funded partly through STRC issuance proceeds via at-the-market share sales.

The post Could Polymarket’s $6.5mln lawsuit reshape prediction-market disputes? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Two Polymarket traders, William Wood and Thomas Bush, have sued the prediction market platform for breach of contract. The dispute is linked to the market tracking whether Strategy would sell Bitcoin by May. Per the filing, Wood and Bush held the ‘Yes’ share of the binary market, betting that Strategy would sell BTC by the 31st of May. Indeed, the firm confirmed it sold 32 BTC in a SEC filing between 26th and 31st May. Instead of resolving the market to ‘Yes’ based on the disclosure, the platform added new language and concluded it was a ‘No’ after a final review by UMA vote. For Wood and Bush, this was a breach of contract. Source: Polymarket Plaintiffs allege Polymarket breached contract The plaintiffs, represented by Burwick Law, noted that Polymarket posted new “clarifying” language after the disclosure.

The post Polymarket Lawsuit Bitcoin Market Dispute Explained appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. A prediction market dispute that started with a single SEC filing has turned into a full-blown legal battle. Two traders have filed a Polymarket lawsuit over Bitcoin tied to Strategy’s sales, alleging the platform improperly resolved a market — and in doing so, broke its own foundational promise of rules-based outcomes. Key takeaways Plaintiffs William Wood and Thomas Bush sued Polymarket in the New York Supreme Court on July 3, naming CEO Shayne Coplan and CMO Matthew Modabber as defendants. Strategy disclosed in an SEC Form 8-K filed June 1 that it sold 32 BTC between May 26 and May 31, within the contract’s event window. Polymarket resolved the market as “No” after a UMA vote on June 3, despite the SEC filing confirming sales within the deadline period. Plaintiffs allege Polymarket introduced a post-trading confirmation requirement that wasn’t part of the original market rules. Neither
