Odaily reports: Analysts at StoneX and TD Cowen believe that Strategy's preferred stock financing structure has stabilized and liquidity has improved, creating conditions for the company to resume accumulating Bitcoin and increase its Bitcoin holdings per share. Both institutions maintain a Buy rating, with target prices of $435 and $260, respectively.As of the end of the third quarter, Strategy held $5.07 billion in U.S. dollar assets, including $4.83 billion in cash reserves, sufficient to cover approximately 3.2 to 3.4 years of preferred stock dividends and debt interest. Strategy also spent approximately $2 billion to repurchase STRC preferred shares, helping its price recover to near its $100 par value. However, because funds were prioritized for replenishing cash reserves and supporting preferred stock rather than accumulating Bitcoin, Strategy's Bitcoin holdings per share declined 3.7% during the year.Additionally, holders of STRC, STRF, STRK, and STRD preferred shares have approved daily accrual of dividends: STRC effective November 1, and the other three classes effective January 1 of next year. Management stated that the move is intended to reduce volatility, improve liquidity, and expand demand. TD Cowen believes that broader distribution channels and better liquidity could ultimately enhance Strategy's efficiency in issuing "digital credit" products.
Odaily reports: According to Bitfinex analysis, Strategy shareholders voted on October 28 to approve a proposal for daily dividend payments on STRC preferred stock, with preliminary results showing 99.3% of votes in favor. STRC is expected to shift from semi-monthly dividend payments to daily dividend payments starting November 1, with the first cash dividend payment arriving on November 2; Strategy's other three preferred stocks, STRF, STRK, and STRD, are expected to follow suit in January 2027.Strategy's move aims to reduce price volatility around ex-dividend dates. Company CEO Phong Le stated that previously, when STRC paid dividends monthly, prices fell by an average of about 49 basis points around the ex-dividend date, which dropped to about 36 basis points after switching to semi-monthly payments. The company expects that daily dividend payments will further disperse selling pressure and improve price stability.This model was not pioneered by Strategy. Bitcoin treasury company Strive converted its SATA preferred stock to daily dividend payments in June of this year and launched a subordinated preferred stock, SATS, with a fixed annual dividend rate of 15%. In October, Strive issued 7 million shares of SATS at $90 per share, raising approximately $630 million, and used about $511 million of that to purchase 6,182 BTC.
Strategy shareholders have approved a company proposal for daily dividends with a 99.3% affirmative vote. Going forward, STRF, STRC, STRK, and STRD will accrue interest and distribute dividends on each calendar day.
Odaily Report: Bitget, in collaboration with Reality and Keyring, has published a research report exploring the synergies between tokenized stocks, perpetual contracts, and decentralized lending, while assessing the potential returns and risks of related strategies through simulated calculations. The report notes that the application of tokenized stocks is expanding from traditional stock trading to collateralized lending, asset management, and systematic investment strategies.The research is based on Reality's rToken, combined with stock perpetual contract hedging and onchain lending mechanisms, to explore stock basis yield strategies. Historical simulation data shows that from December 15, 2025, to October 19, 2026, the strategy index achieved annualized net returns of approximately 7% and 4% in-sample and out-of-sample, respectively, with a gross funding rate premium of approximately 11%–14%. The report also notes that financing costs, trade execution fees, market liquidity, and risk management are key factors affecting the strategy's actual returns.It is understood that Bitget and Keyring plan to jointly develop a stock basis index and build an onchain lending market based on Reality's rToken. Reality will provide exposure to tokenized stock assets, while Keyring will be responsible for developing the index methodology and building the related lending market. The index aims to capture funding rate and basis yield opportunities by combining rToken holdings with hedged positions in corresponding stock perpetual contracts, providing a new strategic pathway for the application of tokenized stocks in onchain financial scenarios.
Odaily reports: Bitcoin treasury company Strategy shareholders will vote on October 28 on whether to amend the terms of STRC, STRF, STRK, and STRD to allow dividend record dates to be set on a daily basis. The proposal requires majority support of the total voting power of all outstanding common shares, with abstentions and broker non-votes counted as opposition; preferred shareholders have no voting rights.Michael Saylor currently controls 32.9% of the total voting power, and the proposal still needs about 17 percentage points of support from other shareholders. If approved, STRC holders can receive dividends on a daily basis from November 1 to 30, totaling $1 per share, with an annualized rate of 12%; if not approved, daily dividends will not be implemented.Strategy will announce its third-quarter results on October 29. As of October 25, the company held 848,517 bitcoins and $5.1 billion in dollar assets. (Bitcoin.com News)
According to The Block, Galaxy Research stated in a report released on October 26 that the Bitcoin bear market ended in June and that the current moment presents an attractive opportunity to buy and hold. The report notes that as of October 18, Bitcoin had closed above its 50-week moving average for five consecutive weeks, breaking a prior streak of 44 consecutive weeks below the level. Meanwhile, the monthly average volume transacted from long-term holding wallets dropped from 67,000 BTC in 2024 to 34,000 BTC in 2026. Galaxy’s head of research, Alex Thorn, cautioned that this bullish thesis would face challenges if Bitcoin records a weekly close below the $76,540 50-week moving average and fails to reclaim it within a month.
According to Odaily, Strategy founder Michael Saylor did not release Bitcoin Tracker information last weekend, potentially signaling that Strategy paused its Bitcoin accumulation last week. Based on previous patterns, Strategy typically discloses its Bitcoin accumulation information the day after the related announcement is released.
Strive CEO Matt Cole posted a chart of the company's Bitcoin holdings on X, possibly hinting that BTC accumulation data may be disclosed next week, a move that could emulate Strategy founder Michael Saylor.
Since 2025, as of October 5, Bitcoin treasury companies such as Strategy and Strive have financed the purchase of 135,979 BTC through preferred stock offerings, accounting for more than 0.5% of Bitcoin's maximum supply; the related preferred stock market is approximately $12 billion. Perpetual preferred stock has no fixed maturity date, which can alleviate refinancing pressure and attract yield-oriented investors who are unwilling to hold Bitcoin directly; however, expanding issuance also increases dividend expenses. Sustained financing for Bitcoin purchases depends on preferred stock trading at or near par value. If prices fall below par, the appeal of new issuance may decline, and companies may turn to buybacks. James Butterfill, Head of Research at CoinShares, said Strategy's latest weekly report shows the company spent $193 million to repurchase STRC, bought 267 BTC during the same period, and raised its preferred stock repurchase authorization to $3 billion. Buybacks can reduce future dividend costs but also compete with Bitcoin purchases for capital. Ryan Rasmussen, Head of Research at Bitwise, expects ETFs will remain a larger source of Bitcoin demand over the long term, while perpetual preferred stock covers a different group of yield-oriented investors and provides another source of demand support for the market. Butterfill believes preferred stock may amplify market cycles: when financing conditions are favorable, it supports Bitcoin purchases; when market sentiment weakens, that support may diminish.
Odaily Report: Fidelity Digital Assets research analyst Zack Wainwright noted in an analysis published on October 20 that preferred stock financing oriented toward Bitcoin could attract capital from the approximately $15 trillion global fixed income market. Fidelity estimates that the size of this type of preferred stock is approximately $12 billion.As of October 5, preferred stock financing has supported the purchase of 135,979 BTC, of which more than 95,000 were purchased between March and May. Fidelity estimates that nearly 96% of Bitcoin's maximum supply has been issued, and the next halving is expected in less than two years.Bitcoin treasury company Strive Inc. completed a 15% Series A Perpetual SATS Preferred Stock offering on October 20, selling 7 million shares at $90 per share for total proceeds of $630 million; the dividend rate is calculated on a $100 par value and is 15% annualized.Bitcoin treasury company Strategy Inc. disclosed that it holds 848,517 BTC and purchased 267 BTC the previous week for $22.1 million, using proceeds from common stock issuance and cash. Fidelity noted that the performance of related instruments is affected by both Bitcoin and the issuing company. (Bitcoin.com News)

According to The Block, Strategy founder Michael Saylor outlined his vision for a "perfect" digital currency at the ParaFi Investor Day: a dollar-pegged, Bitcoin-backed stablecoin offering a yield of 6% to 8%. Saylor stated that this would be the next step in the development of digital capital and digital credit products.
Michael Saylor, founder and executive chairman of Bitcoin treasury company Strategy, has once again posted Bitcoin Tracker-related information. According to previous patterns, Strategy typically discloses Bitcoin holdings change information the day after such messages are released.
Strive CEO Matt Cole posted a chart of the company's Bitcoin holdings on X, with the caption "Now stacking sats with double horsepower," hinting at a possible disclosure of increased BTC holdings next week. The move may be emulating Strategy founder Michael Saylor.
Odaily reports: Michael Saylor, founder of bitcoin treasury company Strategy, responded in an interview with Bloomberg to the possibility that MSCI's new index rules could remove MSTR. He stated that the move does not matter much to Strategy, as the amount of capital they control is relatively small, but he is disappointed with MSCI's stance to date. Oil, natural gas, land, and machinery all count as capital, yet bitcoin does not—this is a value judgment and in fact a bias against digital assets. They are like unregistered financial advisors, setting a "bad precedent" for the entire industry, and he hopes they will reconsider. Digital assets represent the future; MSCI may not want to participate in this future, but investors will not agree, and the United States will not agree either. If MSCI abandons its proposal to remove MSTR, it would benefit the entire industry.Regarding the core dispute over whether Strategy is a company with actual operating business, Michael Saylor compared it to banks and insurance companies. He argued that these financial institutions sell credit and policies, while Strategy uses bitcoin to support digital credit products, so Strategy is an operating enterprise and should be viewed like other financial companies.
Michael Saylor posted on X platform stating that this week at ParaFi Investor Day he introduced digital capital, credit, and equity, and held a fireside chat with Jeff Park to discuss digital assets, digital intelligence, and the future of finance. The presentation covered topics including Bitcoin as digital capital, CLARITY regulation, Bitcoin banking adoption, reshaping gold-backed credit with STRC, STRC returning to par value, Bitcoin gain per share, Strategy's triple flywheel, shifting from quarterly dividends to daily dividends, Bitcoin-backed stablecoins, adoption by digital credit institutions, as well as digital currencies, derivatives, exchanges, regulation, and product development in the AI era.
According to the market briefing released by QCP Capital (QCP Market Colour), US September CPI rose 3.7% year-over-year and 0.6% month-over-month, with market expectations at 3.6% and 0.6%, respectively. Core CPI increased 2.6% year-over-year and 0.3% month-over-month, exceeding forecasts on both metrics. Despite the resilient inflation data, US Treasury yields retreated significantly. During the prior week, yields on 10-year and 30-year US Treasuries briefly spiked to 5.35% and 5.73%, respectively, before capital flowed into long-dated Treasuries as a safe haven, reversing the reflation trade that had previously dominated the market. QCP noted that this risk-off sentiment was primarily driven by credit stress in the AI infrastructure sector. AI compute provider CoreWeave closed down 15.5% on the day, and its five-year credit default swap (CDS) spread widened to 60%, prompting declines in the NASDAQ and South Korea’s KOSPI indices. Separately, MSCI introduced a new “non-operating company” classification framework this week, which may impact whether certain securities retain their place in the index and trigger forced redemptions from passive funds. Consequently, the index inclusion status of Strategy (MSTR) remains uncertain. QCP argued that credit quality within the technology sector is now displacing inflation and fiscal concerns as the primary constraint on risk appetite. With the tech earnings season commencing in approximately two weeks, the upcoming period will serve as a critical benchmark for determining whether AI-related credit risks could spill over into broader asset classes.
Strategy CEO Phong Le has just announced that he has voted in favor of a proposal to provide daily dividends for all of its U.S. preferred stock. (Bitcoin Treasuries)
the Polkadot community recently submitted a proposal on the SubSquare platform titled "DOT DAO Strategy Mandate," advocating for a shift in the DAO's strategic focus from ecosystem expansion and total value locked (TVL) growth to end-user acquisition and real-world use cases, and planning to build a user-facing Polkadot Product Platform.Another core component of the proposal is the launch of a permissionless DOT-collateralized stable asset called dotStables, with priority support for dotUSD. The asset adopts a collateralization model similar to Liquity, aiming to ultimately convert stablecoin demand into demand for DOT. In terms of platform design, it will be compatible with existing parachain infrastructure and emphasize a freemium model, mobile-first approach, self-custody, privacy protection, and login-free user experience. Currently, the proposal is still in the governance preparation stage.
Odaily reports: Amy Oldenburg, Head of Digital Asset Strategy at Morgan Stanley, stated that by 2030, the market size of tokenized real-world assets (RWA) will reach $3 trillion to $10 trillion, a prediction she said is "without a doubt." She noted that industry growth drivers are mutually reinforcing, institutional investors' attention to and participation in related sectors continues to increase, and a clear sense of FOMO (fear of missing out) has emerged in the institutional market. Morgan Stanley previously expected to begin supporting tokenized stock trading on its alternative trading system (ATS) in the first quarter of 2027, a delay from its previously announced plan for the second half of 2026.
