Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) is a U.S. software company known as the largest corporate holder of bitcoin, funded via debt and preferred stock like STRC.
No evidence-backed relationships are recorded.
Kevin Hassett wants Jerome Powell off the Fed board, a move that would let Trump nominate someone to one of the FOMC's 12 votes. Powell voted for the September hike Hassett says he disagreed with, so the seat is worth one dissent until other voters move.
Reality
Michael Saylor explained on September 29 that Strategy pays preferred dividends from a dedicated USD Reserve because its Bitcoin produces no cash. STRC's yield therefore depends on Strategy's continued ability to sell new shares.
Reality
Armada Acquisition Corp. II shareholders approved the Evernorth merger, so a 473 million XRP treasury lists on Nasdaq as XRPN on Oct. 8. Only about $300 million of the $1 billion-plus raised is cash, and investors contributed XRP directly for much of the rest.

MSCI's Aug. 3 proposal to drop "non-operating companies" from its indexes would remove Strategy and Metaplanet, according to MSCI's own simulation. JPMorgan analysts put Strategy's potential outflows from benchmark-tracking funds at about $2.8 billion in 2025.
Reality
Strategy kept the annualized dividend on its STRC preferred stock at 12% for October, a fourth straight month at that rate after a 9% launch in July 2025. Each dollar it raises this way to buy bitcoin now costs 12 cents a year, a third more than at launch.
Reality
Smarter Web Company plans to raise £15 million to £25 million with MORE, the first preferred share from a UK corporate Bitcoin holder, pending FCA approval. How much it raises, and at what dividend, is an early check on Michael Saylor's claim that Bitcoin-backed credit issuers enlarge each other's market.
Reality
Spot Bitcoin ETFs took in about $3 billion over eight sessions as oil lifted Treasury yields to 2007 highs, holding Bitcoin near $84,000. Onchain profit-taking adds sellers as this week's inflation and jobs data decide which side gives first.
Reality
Token Terminal data shows tokenized stocks deposited in DeFi protocols reached $262.4 million, nearly 18 times January's $14.66 million. About half of that total built up in September alone, which is too recent to show whether the deposits will stay.
Reality
Bitmine added 17,362 ether last week to hold about 4.9% of supply, while Strategy bought 1,665 bitcoin to reach 847,666. Both kept buying as prices eased, with Bitmine now near a 5% target it set itself and Strategy adding about 0.2% to its holdings.
Reality
Strategy sold $246.2 million of new common stock last week and put $103.5 million of it into buying back STRC preferred below its $100 par. Those same common holders decide on October 28 whether the four preferreds move to daily dividends.
Reality
Strategy spent $151.7 million retiring STRC preferred in the week to September 27, more than the $142.7 million it paid for 1,665 bitcoin. MSTR stock sales paid for most of both, so common shareholders are now paying to shrink the company's preferred stock.

Strategy will let only common shareholders vote on October 28 on moving STRC preferred to daily dividends from November 1. The rate and total payout stay the same, though STRC holders voted when Strategy last changed their payment schedule in May.
Reality
The asset manager paid for the coins with fresh common and preferred stock. Back out the two disclosed percentages and the fully diluted share count grew about 4% in a single week.

A ten-week gap in purchases produced a $1.59bn dollar reserve, and the roughly 3,588 coins sold in July to meet dividend obligations show where cash has to come from when the asset on the balance sheet pays none.

Adam Back's 7.6 million euro tranche took him to 17.64% of the ordinary shares, and the placement it sat in priced above Capital B's own at-the-market print, a premium more typical of ordinary financing than of discounted rescue money.
Reality
Strategy's second straight week of buying its own preferreds cost $139.3 million and captured roughly $2.74 million of discount to the $100 stated value. The cash pool that funded it held $1.30 billion on September 13.

Strive paid for last week's 469 bitcoin entirely with preferred stock. The coupon on its $1.04 billion of SATA is 13%, charged every business day, against a treasury of 25,000 coins. Warrants struck at $27 expire in mid-October.

Bitmine holds 5,983,940 ETH, 4.9% of supply, and the 121,060 tokens still missing cost about $325m at its own reference price, a bill its cash balance covers twice over. Tom Lee expects institutions in the fourth quarter.

Forced closures of bearish bets, counted at $648 million by Crypto Briefing and above $600 million by CoinGlass, carried bitcoin to its highest price since January. Glassnode puts the US spot ETF cohort's average entry at $85,638.

Strive outbought Strategy again on Monday, 1,355 coins against 950, and its stack ranks fifth among public holders. The weekly checks come out of a perpetual preferred that pays 13% and crossed $1 billion of notional this month.
