Fact Check
The fetched evidence supports that Michael Saylor was reported as saying STRC became 'the largest preferred stock in the world within 8 months' and that STRC financing is part of Strategy's Bitcoin acquisition strategy, as seen in x post 2049292581918663161 and the Phemex article. Yahoo Finance independently supports the STRC issuance and its role in Strategy's financing for Bitcoin-related purchases. However, no primary source from Strategy, MicroStrategy's official site, @MicroStrategy, or Michael Saylor himself was successfully fetched in this run, so the claim cannot be verified to a high standard.
