Analysis: Strategy's European perpetual stock, STRE, has seen a lackluster market response; its future strategic direction is now in focus.

Strategy launched its first non-US perpetual preferred stock, STRE, in Europe last November. With a face value of €100 and an annualized dividend of 10%, it was ultimately issued at a discount of €80, raising approximately $715 million. However, market response was lukewarm after listing. Analysts believe the STRE's poor reception was mainly due to limited listing channels on Luxembourg's Euro MTF, difficulty in trading on mainstream brokerages and retail platforms, and a lack of transparent pricing and market data. Strategy has not yet announced its next steps, and the market is focused on whether it will continue to deepen its presence in Europe or maintain its US market focus. (CoinDesk)
