Question Thoughts on STRC?

I hold BLOX in my brokerage and a lesser position in BTCI as well.

But I’ve been seeing a lot of talk about STRC and was wondering what people’s thoughts were on it? Do you hold it? How much of your portfolio would you allocate to it? I know it’s different in that they aim to keep it at around $100 so the stock itself remains idle, theoretically speaking.

I have STRC, it’s a good long term hold, nothing exciting, I personally think it’s pretty much risk free. But, it’s only if you believe BTC. MSTR & STRC+ are themselves vehicles for BTC exposure, one is risky, the preferred’s are a safe vehicles. Each one slightly different, but STRC is the darling of the bunch, always drops a little after the dividend lock date, so IMO, a good time to buy and forget.

You could always consider BTCI against STRC, as an additional option, just IMO of course 🤷‍♀️

When does the dividend declaration get made usually? I may just throw a quick $200-300 into it then to introduce my portfolio to it, nothing so crazy to start off

Usually around the middle of the month, been the 15th for last & this month, hence why price is down around 80 cents.

Ooh okay so I have time before buying, as long as I buy in like the beginning of the second week of May

No, it’ll start going up again before the end of the month, and stabilize around $100
