# Weekly Recap | STRC.US +1.2%, riding the bitcoin-driven tape

## The Week

STRC.US closed the week +1.2% at $97.33, edging out the S&P 500 by roughly 0.71 percentage points. Trading was tight all week: the shares opened Monday at $96.32, drifted higher through Thursday when they finished near $98.00, then touched an intraday high of $98.16 on Friday before pulling back to close at $97.33. The full-week range was under 2%, and the price remains above both the 20-day moving average ($95.28) and the 60-day average ($90.60).

## Key Events

This week’s headlines were dominated by parent company Strategy and bitcoin. Bitcoin briefly topped $80,000 midweek, lifting crypto-linked names, and MSTR moved higher on rising volume that surpassed $3 billion on the final session of the week. On the corporate side, Strategy said it would add US dollar cash to its digital credit capital framework, and set up a USD Cash pool after completing a $2 billion raise—without making fresh bitcoin purchases. One FWP filing this week was tied to Strategy. A late-week wobble is worth noting: bitcoin pulled back after Friday’s close, and MSTR fell more than 7% in after-hours trading, giving back part of the week’s gains.

## The Week Ahead

A busy macro calendar lies ahead. Monday brings the Dallas Fed manufacturing business activity index; Tuesday has S&P Global manufacturing PMI final, ISM manufacturing PMI and JOLTS job openings; Wednesday adds ADP private payrolls and factory orders. As a preferred share, STRC tends to track Strategy and bitcoin closely, so two questions matter: whether bitcoin can hold the $80,000 level, and whether the macro data shifts appetite for risk assets.

## In Short

The week’s advance looked more like it followed the broader crypto and parent-company tape than any company-specific catalyst. The price sits near the $98 area, while the latest session’s flow data shows large-lot money as a net seller (766.06 out versus 641.47 in), with retail roughly balanced—a sign of some loosening near the highs. The shares trade around 3.2x book value, not cheap for a preferred. What to watch: whether bitcoin stabilises, whether macro data strengthens the case for risk assets, and how the price resolves within the $96–$98 band.
