MicroStrategy’s STRC Stock Hits $1.1B Daily Volume Record

I saw a huge record happen on April 13, 2026 for the STRC stock. Daily volume hit $1.1 billion which is 46.5% higher than old high. You should know that this is way bigger than usual $274 million average we see.

What is STRC?

I call this ticker STRC and it is a special kind of preferred stock on the Nasdaq. It pays you an 11.5% dividend every year and the money comes in every single month. Since July 2025 I watched the rate go from 9% up to that 11.5% level. The company changes the payout to keep the share price right around $100 for you. There is no end date for this stock so you never get original cash back. They sell new shares when the price is high and then buy Bitcoin with the money.

Why the Volume Spike Matters

Mark Harvey thinks the company bought about 9,894 Bitcoin during this big spike. This comes after a big $1 billion buy where they got 13,927 Bitcoin at $72,000 each. Total holdings now sits near 780,897 Bitcoin which cost them about $59 billion.

Dividend Obligations vs. Bitcoin Upside

Look at the math from Adam Livingston because it shows how the debt works. Raising $1.1 billion creates a yearly cost of $98 million in dividends for them. If Bitcoin grows by 25% each year your investment value could hit $8 billion in a decade. You end up with a $7 billion profit once you pay all the dividends.

Liquidity Compared to Tech Giants

STRC moves more money than most big tech stocks relative to its size. Daily volume is 4.8% of its total value which beats Tesla at 1.8%. Apple only sits at 0.3% which makes this stock very liquid for your needs. People trade this stock a lot even though they get no voting rights.

Shifting Trading Dynamics

This stock now makes up 90% of the daily volume for the whole company. Just five months ago that number was only 10%. Bitcoin hit $75,000 recently because of news about world peace. The whole crypto world grew by $100 billion and that gives you more confidence.

Why Bitcoin’s Performance Is Critical

Michael Saylor tracks how Bitcoin grows compared to a 2% yearly cost in real time. If Bitcoin wins the race then the company do not have to sell more regular shares. You can expect dividends to keep coming as long as the crypto price stays up.

Bottom Line

I think this record proves that STRC is a bridge for your money. It takes cash from the market and turns it into Bitcoin while you get paid.
