The post STRE is nothing like what Michael Saylor promised on Thursday appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) has announced the launch of Stream (STRE), a new Euro-denominated security, despite Michael Saylor repeatedly promising a new version of its existing security STRC geared toward foreign currency investors. STRC is Strategy’s high-yield, quasi-pegged preferred stock that trades near a $100 peg and pays tax-deferred, monthly, return of capital (ROC) dividends. Its annualized dividend is currently 10.5% and fluctuates to try to keep STRC trading near $100. To the contrary, unlike the fiat-stable retirement breakthrough the company has been promising, Strategy doesn’t intend STRE to maintain any price peg. Instead, and by Saylor’s own admission, STRE is most similar to STRF — just denominated in euros instead of dollars. Moreover, in asking for less than €350 million with this initial public offering, STRE is far short of Strategy’s multi-trillion dollar breakthrough that Saylor hopes to serve every accredited investor in the world. STRE: nothing like a high-yield bank account On Thursday’s third quarter earnings call, Saylor and his CEO Phong Le spent inordinate amounts of time broadcasting their plans for foreign currency-denominated securities similar to STRC. Saylor claimed a goal of 1 billion buyers for STRC or its upcoming, foreign currency counterparts. He has also repeatedly likened STRC to a high-yield savings product, claiming its tax-equivalent yield is 16.5%. Unfortunately, the fluctuating price and fixed dividend rate of STRE won’t make any progress toward the price-pegged, floating-rate goal of rolling out STRC counterparts for foreign currency investors. Read more: Why Saylor’s STRC isn’t really a money market or bank account Both STRE and STRF are perpetual preferred securities that pay a fixed, 10% dividend annually. Both fluctuate in price daily with significant volatility. Interestingly, unlike Strategy’s most senior preferred stock STRF, STRE has mid-stack capital seniority beneath bondholders, STRF, and STRC. Although seniority is far less important… The post STRE is nothing like what Michael Saylor promised on Thursday appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
