CoinDesk
Strategy's STRC saw record trading volume, funding an estimated 7,800 BTC purchase, the largest since its debut.

Summary

Strategy's perpetual preferred security, STRC, experienced a record-breaking trading day on Monday, with volume surging to $1.16 billion, more than four times its 30-day average. This significant trading activity funded an estimated purchase of 7,800 BTC by MicroStrategy, marking the largest single-day addition of bitcoin since STRC's inception. This follows a previous $1 billion bitcoin purchase funded by STRC, which offers an 11.5% annual dividend. The trading volume on Monday may be surpassed on Tuesday, as it precedes the ex-dividend date, a period historically associated with higher trading activity. STRC's market capitalization now stands at $6.4 billion, surpassing other preferred securities from Strategy.
