The $2.521 billion offering marks the largest U.S. IPO of 2025 and one of the biggest crypto-related offerings in recent years. STRC is set to begin trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the ticker "STRC" around July 30, 2025.

The STRC listing is notable for being the first U.S. exchange-listed perpetual preferred security by a Bitcoin Treasury Company to offer monthly dividends based on a board-set rate. It also introduces a short-duration, income-focused instrument designed for yield-oriented investors. Joint bookrunners included Morgan Stanley, Barclays, Moelis & Company, and TD Securities, with several others serving as co-managers.
Tuesday, MSTR closed at $394.66, down 2.26%, and rose slightly after hours to $395.50, up 0.21% on the NasdaqGS.
