Frequently Asked Questions
- Does trading STRC give me any of the rights of owning the actual Stretch preferred share, including its dividend?
- No. STRC is a synthetic perpetual with no delivery mechanism or arbitrage bridge to the actual preferred share. It gives price exposure only — it does not pass through the cumulative cash dividend that real Stretch shareholders receive, and carries no shareholder rights or claim on the underlying security.
- How is STRC different from other names, like MSTR?
- STRC tracks Strategy's preferred stock, which pays a dividend and is designed to stay near a $100 price target. MSTR, by contrast, tracks the same company's common stock — a different security, with no dividend design and no price target.
- Does STRC's price behave like a normal common stock?
- Not exactly. The underlying Stretch preferred share is designed with a variable dividend rate that adjusts specifically to keep its market price near a $100 stated amount, which tends to dampen its price swings relative to common stock. MSTR, Strategy's common stock, has no such price target or dividend-driven stabilization mechanism — it floats freely with the market.
