What happened to Strategy's STRC preferred shares?
Strategy's variable-rate preferred stock, STRC, closed above $90 for the first time in seven weeks. According to Yahoo Finance data cited by Cointelegraph, STRC finished Monday at $92.32, a 3.2% gain from Friday's $89.46 close.
It was the first close above $90 since June 16. The June selloff had raised concerns about the Bitcoin treasury company's financial resilience. From the June 26 closing low of $74.57, the shares have climbed nearly 24%, putting the preferred line back in focus for crypto-market watchers.
Why did STRC rebound from its June closing low?

Is STRC still short of Strategy's price target?
STRC is a perpetual preferred stock whose dividend rate can be adjusted monthly to encourage trading near its $100 stated amount. Even after reclaiming $90, the shares remain below the company's $99 to $100 target range.
That gap matters for investors watching whether Strategy's mix of Bitcoin sales, dividend support, and open-market repurchases can keep STRC trading closer to par. For the full market recap, see Cointelegraph's report on the preferred-share rebound.
