$STRC closed at $88.59 and was $88.83 after-hours, so par needs roughly 13% price appreciation before the 11.5% coupon even matters. On a ~$10.5B preferred stack, every 50 bp step-up adds about $52M of annual carry; semi-monthly payouts smooth the ex-date wobble, but sub-$100 STRC makes preferred-funded BTC accumulation more expensive exactly when MSTR needs market access most.
