By the end of this week, two days before the monthly March candle closes, Bitcoin is showing volatility, attempting to recoup the important price milestone at $67,000. After dropping more than 8.5% over the past two weeks, the asset is facing strong resistance with the price of Bitcoin currently fluctuating around $66,500.
Against the backdrop of BTC stability, Michael Saylor is shifting investor focus to a new instrument — perpetual preferred shares under the ticker STRC, with the full name Stretch. In a recent post as Chairman of Strategy, he emphasized that while the market is turbulent, STRC acts as a safe haven.
Saylor's solution to Bitcoin market turmoil
Saylor’s key points center on record-low volatility. Over the past 30 days, STRC volatility has been just 2%, which, as shown in his infographic, is lower than any company in the S&P 500, as well as gold, bonds and Bitcoin itself.
Since March 2026, the dividend yield on these shares has been increased to 11.5% annually.
STRC has become the primary channel for raising capital, and Saylor is using proceeds from these stable shares to aggressively accumulate BTC during pullbacks. His ambitious target of 1 million BTC on Strategy’s balance sheet remains in focus, whether by the end of 2026 or within the next two years.
If Bitcoin appears overstretched at the moment, Strategy's “digital credit” in the form of STRC offers above-market yield with volatility comparable to a bank deposit. However, the fundamental rule of financial markets still applies: the higher the yield, the higher the risk.
