AI summary of the source article

Strategy's STRC preferred stock reached its $100 par value for the first time since May, following over $2 billion in buybacks and rate adjustments, restoring the threshold to resume share issuances funding bitcoin purchases.

Why it matters

A Stretch at par lets Strategy pay those obligations with new preferred issuance rather than coins. A Stretch at $89 does not.

Key facts

  • STRC touched $100 par value after Strategy retired roughly $2.25 billion of the stock since the discount emerged.
  • Shareholders approved daily dividends on STRC and three other preferreds on Oct. 28 with a 99.3% vote.
  • Reaching $100 restores the price at which Strategy can resume issuing new shares to fund bitcoin purchases instead of selling coins.
