Strategy's yield-generating STRC stock is more correlated with BTC than ever
The STRC stock, a yield-generating instrument tied to Bitcoin holdings, is showing a record 0.70 correlation with BTC prices. This trend challenges the stock's value proposition as a stable income source and complicates the firm's Bitcoin accumulation strategy.
Why it matters
Investors relying on STRC for decoupled yield are facing increased volatility, highlighting the risks of financial products tethered to volatile crypto assets.
The 90-day correlation coefficient between the two has climbed to nearly 0.70, the highest level since the instrument debuted in July 2025, according to data source TradingView. The correlation has been rising since early this month, with both STRC and BTC losing ground. While STRC has tanked 23% to $76 this month, BTC’s price has slipped nearly 20% to under $60,000, hitting levels last seen in October 2024.
