STRC Tracker

STRC Tracker — Live STRC Price, Yield & Strategy's Bitcoin Treasury

STRC Tracker is an independent dashboard for Strategy's STRC (Stretch Preferred) preferred stock, updated every 60 seconds against confirmed SEC 8-K filings.

Real-time monitor for STRC at-the-market (ATM) trading activity and the Bitcoin treasury it funds. Tracks the live price, the 12.00% variable dividend yield and its effective yield below par, the semi-monthly payment schedule, ATM dollar volume, weekly Bitcoin acquisition estimates, confirmed Bitcoin sales under the BTC Monetization Program, and Strategy's USD Reserve balance — with every figure verified directly against Strategy's SEC 8-K filings on EDGAR. It's a live feed of STRC's dividend, at-the-market activity, and the Bitcoin accumulation it funds for Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy). Also known as an STRC live tracker for real-time STRC price and yield.

How STRC Tracker Works

• Reports Strategy's total Bitcoin holdings and USD Reserve balance, and flags Bitcoin sales made under the BTC Monetization Program.
• Aggregates news from SEC EDGAR, Strategy's press releases, CoinDesk, and a curated set of Bitcoin / Strategy YouTube channels.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is STRC?

STRC (Stretch Preferred) is a perpetual preferred stock issued by Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy). It carries a $100 par value and a variable dividend rate — currently 12.00% per annum — that Strategy adjusts at its discretion. Strategy sells new STRC shares through an at-the-market (ATM) offering to raise capital, then deploys the proceeds, net of issuance fees, into Bitcoin for its corporate treasury and into a USD cash reserve that funds its dividend obligations.

What is an at-the-market (ATM) offering?

An at-the-market offering lets Strategy sell new STRC shares directly into the open market at prevailing prices, rather than via a single block trade. Whenever STRC trades at or above $100 par, the company can issue new shares against the order book — that's the ATM mechanism. The proceeds (net of a 2.5% agent fee) are used to acquire Bitcoin and are confirmed via weekly SEC 8-K filings.

How is the STRC dividend paid, and how often?

As of July 1, 2026, STRC pays on a semi-monthly cadence — two record dates per month, the 15th and the last day of the month — at a 12.00% annualized rate, up from 11.50%. Before July 2026 the dividend was monthly. Strategy still evaluates and can reset the rate monthly, so the rate cadence (monthly) and the payment cadence (semi-monthly) are distinct.

What is the effective yield on STRC?

STRC pays its dividend on the $100 par value, not on the market price, so when STRC trades below par a buyer earns more than the stated rate: effective yield = stated rate × (par ÷ price). A 12% rate on an $88 share is an effective yield of about 13.6%. The dashboard shows this effective figure next to the stated rate whenever the price is off par.

What is the USD Reserve?

The USD Reserve is a cash reserve Strategy established under its June 2026 Digital Credit Capital Framework to fund distributions on its preferred stock — including STRC dividends — and its debt interest. Strategy discloses the reserve balance in its SEC 8-K filings; the dashboard shows the latest disclosed balance alongside the Bitcoin treasury.

Is Strategy selling Bitcoin?

Yes — Strategy has begun selling Bitcoin under its Board- authorized BTC Monetization Program, a bounded facility that tops up the USD Reserve to back dividend and interest payments. Confirmed Bitcoin sales are parsed directly from the 8-K filings and appear on the dashboard and Activity feed as "BTC SOLD" cards, alongside the purchase history. Total holdings track these sales downward.

How does STRC Tracker estimate daily Bitcoin purchases?

We sum every STRC trade that occurred at or above $100 par each trading day. That dollar volume is multiplied by the active capture rate (the historical fraction of STRC ATM proceeds converted to Bitcoin, derived from recent 8-K reconciliations) and divided by the day's BTC price. The result is an estimate of how much Bitcoin Strategy likely acquired with that day's ATM proceeds. Weekly totals are confirmed the following Monday via SEC 8-K filings on the Activity tab.

Why do some days show 0 BTC accumulated?

We apply a $1M minimum ATM volume floor before counting any Bitcoin accumulation for the day. Sub-threshold volume is treated as zero — it's typically noise rather than real ATM issuance activity. This threshold matches the model used by the STRC Tracker iOS app and prevents tiny one-off trades from being misread as Bitcoin purchases.

How accurate are the estimates?

Daily numbers are model-derived from STRC trading volume; weekly totals are confirmed against SEC 8-K filings the Monday after the trading week closes. Confirmed rows on the Activity tab are marked SEC VERIFIED and are authoritative. Estimates for the current in-progress week may shift slightly when the actual 8-K lands.

Where does the data come from?

STRC trade data comes from Alpaca's market-data API. Bitcoin price comes from CoinGecko, with Kraken and Coinbase as automatic fallbacks. SEC 8-K filings — purchases, sales, dividend-rate changes, holdings, and USD Reserve figures — come directly from EDGAR, the SEC's public filings system, and are parsed automatically. News items are pulled from CoinDesk, Strategy's press releases page, and a curated set of Bitcoin and Strategy YouTube channels.

How often does the data update?

The live dashboard polls every 60 seconds during market hours. The activity feed, 8-K parser, and daily snapshot store refresh every 15 minutes via background jobs. Bitcoin price and the STRC chart refresh in lockstep with the dashboard.

Is STRC Tracker affiliated with Strategy?

No. STRC Tracker is an independent project. All data displayed here comes from public sources — SEC EDGAR filings, public stock-market trades, and CoinGecko's BTC price feed. We have no business relationship with Strategy, Michael Saylor, or any of their affiliates. Nothing on this site is financial advice.
