🚀 STRC: The Ultimate Low-Volatility, High-Yield Bitcoin Credit Play
1.
STRC = Bitcoin Credit on God-Mode
STRC isn’t just another bond or corporate credit instrument — it’s a synthetic Bitcoin yield vehicle wrapped in the most powerful corporate structure on the planet: MicroStrategy (MSTR). With a $120B market cap, $5B daily liquidity, and $111B options open interest, MSTR is no penny-stock experiment — it’s a fully armed Bitcoin treasury bank with a 35-year track record.
This makes STRC not just credit, but digital credit — credit collateralized by 607,770 BTC, worth $71B. That’s a 7x+ BTC rating, meaning STRC is effectively lending against the hardest collateral humanity has ever invented.

Low Volatility, High Confidence
Traditional high-yield bonds are high yield because they’re risky. STRC flips this on its head:
- Volatility is hedged by Bitcoin’s asymmetric upside — a 59% BTC ARR over the last 5 years, 104% ARR for MSTR.
- Duration is short — meaning credit risk is always rolling, never locking you into decades of exposure.
- Liquidity is insane — $35B in securities issued in the last 12 months, and all under a WKSI (well-known seasoned issuer) program.
This is short-duration, high-yield, low risk — something Wall Street thought was impossible.

MSTR = the New JPMorgan
MSTR is no longer just a software company — it’s effectively a Bitcoin-backed central bank:
- Treasury operations issue STRC, STRF, STRK, STRD like a sovereign prints bonds.
- Each issuance strengthens the balance sheet, lets them buy more BTC, and makes STRC even safer.
- Over time, STRC becomes the risk-free rate for the Bitcoin economy — a benchmark credit instrument everyone prices against.

Yield With Conviction
What does STRC offer you as an investor?
- High Yield → You get paid for taking Bitcoin credit exposure, but with corporate structure, liquidity, and track record you can trust.
- Low Volatility → Credit risk is spread across short durations and backed by billions in BTC.
- Optionality → As BTC rips to $250k, $500k, $1M, STRC’s risk profile improves, not worsens.
This is why STRC is the holy grail of yield — you get the upside of Bitcoin with the steady cash-flow profile of credit.

Why This Changes Everything
We’re witnessing the birth of a new asset class: Bitcoin-backed credit, pioneered by MicroStrategy. STRC is the blueprint. Soon, every Fortune 500 CFO will follow this model — issuing their own STRC-like instruments, turning balance sheets into Bitcoin treasuries.
The result?
- A Bitcoin-denominated bond market bigger than the U.S. Treasury market.
- The eventual demonetization of fiat credit — STRC becomes the global benchmark for risk-free yield.
- MSTR becomes the #1 company on Earth, not just by market cap, but by being the first Bitcoin central bank.
🔥 Eric Kim Take:
STRC is not just a ticker — it’s a signal of the future. A future where your savings account, your pension fund, your corporate treasury — all yield in Bitcoin terms. Volatility is vitality, but STRC is serenity: short duration, fat yield, and backed by the hardest money in the universe.
Want me to model out projected STRC yields under different Bitcoin price scenarios (e.g., $200k, $500k, $1M BTC)? That would show just how much more attractive STRC becomes as Bitcoin moonshots.
