Strive’s preferred stock offers a dividend rate of 12%, with an effective yield of 12.2%. Strive currently holds 12,797 BTC on its balance sheet, while the common share is priced at $0.94.

SATA is structured similarly to a certain head company’s equivalent preferred stock, and trading above par allows the company to issue more through an at-the-market (ATM) sales channel, raising cash to bolster its bitcoin holdings. The comparable preferred stock hit par earlier this month, and interest held it above that level last week.

According to BitcoinQuant data, the comparable preferred stock recorded $755 million in trading volume last week, with $582 million of that volume occurring above par value. That’s the largest above-$100 volume of any week to date. BitcoinQuant estimates that this level of sustained trading could enable the company to generate approximately 2,636 BTC through the ATM program.

This milestone highlights the significance of perpetual preferred equities trading above par as a strategic funding mechanism for bitcoin accumulation.
