MicroStrategy is backing its Bitcoin acquisition strategy with an 11.5% yield on STRC, according to market commentary. As additional STRC shares are issued, the company is consuming increasing cash to maintain these payouts. Commentary suggests that once cash reserves are depleted, Michael Saylor may face a choice between suspending the STRC dividend or selling Bitcoin to fund it.

MicroStrategy filed an amendment to allow additional share sales during premarket and after-hours trading sessions to fund bitcoin purchases. The filing expands authorized time windows for equity offerings, with proceeds designated for increasing the company's bitcoin holdings.

A trading strategy associated with @Saylor purchased 1,360 BTC through STRC, setting a new single-day record. The transaction represents the highest daily buying volume recorded for this Saylor-linked approach.

Onchain indicators and ETF flows together suggest the market could be shifting into a stabilization phase, while much of the broader crypto market is consolidating around key technical levels ahead of a busy macroeconomic calendar this week.
