Mark Palmer, an analyst at Benchmark, has criticized the comparison of STRC to the 2022 UST Terra, labeling it as misleading. According to Palmer, STRC represents preferred shares of Strategy, which offer an 11.5% dividend, distinguishing them from stablecoins. Originally intended to maintain a trading price around $100, STRC shares have recently declined to $82.53. Palmer emphasized that until the shares recover to the $100 mark, Strategy will refrain from using this funding avenue to acquire Bitcoin.
