Treasury & Collateral Risk

Understanding STRC and collateralization risks

STRC Dividend Risk

BUCK's yield depends on STRC ROC dividends being paid to Buck's Treasury. If dividends were reduced or suspended, BUCK yield would decrease — but your BUCK value would not decrease.

Why dividend suspension is unlikely:

  • Dividends are contractual preferred equity payments, not discretionary

  • $2.25B in cash reserves covers 77.4 years of dividend payments

  • Preferred dividends must be paid before common dividends

  • STRC is NASDAQ-listed with SEC oversight

In a Strategy solvency scenario, preferred shareholders (including Buck) have priority over common stockholders.

Concentration Risk

Buck's treasury is concentrated in STRC. This means simpler verification and a single transparent yield source, but no diversification across asset classes. This trade-off is mitigated by Strategy's position as the world's largest corporate Bitcoin holder ($60B+ BTC, $2.25B cash reserves).
