Michael Saylor Proves Bitcoin Is Tame With a Chart Where His Own Stock Hits 94%

Bitcoin volatility now matches Nvidias, with both at 39%, according to a chart shared by Strategy Executive Chairman Michael Saylor. Meanwhile, Strategys 12%-yield Stretch (STRC) preferred stock swings less than any Magnificent Seven tech giant. However, that calm is recent. STRC slid to about $75 in late June, roughly 25% below its $100 par value, before the company stepped in to support it. Where Does Bitcoin Volatility Rank Against Big Tech? The chart tracks 30-day historical volatility, which measures how sharply a price moved over the past month. Strategy compiled the figures itself, as of the October 2 market close. Among Big Tech names, Bitcoin (BTC) trailed only Meta at 47% and Tesla at 43%. In contrast, Amazon, Alphabet, Microsoft, and Apple all sat between 21% and 24%. Bitcoin can serve very different investors. $BTC offers direct ownership, $MSTR amplified exposure, and $STRC income with less 30-day price volatility than every Mag 7 stock. Saylor framed the three Strategy-linked assets as layers on one foundation. In his view, BTC offers direct ownership, MSTR adds leverage, and STRC pays income. The data reflects that split. Strategys common stock (MSTR) registered 94%, exactly double Metas reading and well above Bitcoin. STRC, by contrast, logged just 9%. The perpetual preferred pays a 12% annual dividend, reset monthly to hold the price near par, according to its website. Can Strategy Keep Its Yield Product This Calm? Leverage caused the earlier slide. Investors had borrowed at about 6% to collect the 12% yield, Strategy CEO Phong Le said. When Bitcoin dropped, margin calls forced them to sell, as he explained in STRCs June price collapse. Since late July, the company has bought back STRC and built a reserve of roughly $5 billion. As a result, the stock has climbed back toward $100. Strategy has also floated a daily preferred dividend proposal for STRC holders. Still, critics see a cost. Bitcoin skeptic Peter Schiff argues Strategy has lost its Bitcoin-buying power, since it last sold STRC in May. The company now funds purchases mainly through MSTR sales.

Saylor shared the purchase chart with a short caption. More orange than ever. Michael Saylor via X For Saylor, the volatility chart casts Bitcoin as the base layer for equity and credit products. Therefore, STRCs calm may hinge less on Bitcoin volatility than on how long Strategy defends par. Read the article at BeInCrypto
