Strategy Inc. buybacks led by Michael Saylor have pushed its Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Stretch Preferred Stock (STRC) closer to its original $100 offering price, Bloomberg reports. The repurchases, conducted in July and September 2026, were part of an effort to stabilize the stock after it traded below its intended par value. Prediction-market pricing puts the probability of STRC reaching $100 by December 31 at 73.5%, while the odds of reaching that level by September 30 have fallen to 18%. The differing probabilities indicate stronger confidence in a year-end recovery than in a near-term move to par. Further buyback announcements, changes in Strategy Inc.’s cryptocurrency holdings and dividend strategies could affect market sentiment. With 106 days remaining until December 31, the company’s additional financial maneuvers will remain important to expectations for STRC.
