Strive's SATA preferred shares have rebounded from a June low of $83.30 to approximately $97, recovering most of their earlier selloff and moving back within roughly 3% of the $100 par value, according to Yahoo Finance data.

Strive introduced SATA in November 2025 as part of a strategy to finance the expansion of its Bitcoin treasury through preferred equity. The variable-rate perpetual preferred stock is designed to trade near its $100 par value by adjusting its dividend rate, enabling Strive to raise capital for its Bitcoin (BTC) treasury without issuing additional common shares. Preferred shares generally sit ahead of common equity for dividend claims but do not give holders the same exposure as common stock, making their ability to hold near par an important test of investor demand for this financing structure.

A Growing Market for Bitcoin-Linked Preferred Shares

SATA belongs to a growing segment of preferred-share products tied to Bitcoin treasury strategies, an emerging category that companies such as Strategy have described as "digital credit." Strategy's STRC, launched in 2025 with a similar objective of maintaining a $100 share price through a variable dividend, also fell sharply during the late-June selloff before recovering. STRC, however, continues to trade below par at approximately $87.

While Strategy remains the world's largest public corporate Bitcoin holder with 843,775 BTC, Strive has climbed to seventh place with 19,921 BTC, according to BitcoinTreasuries.NET. The growth of these instruments reflects a broader effort by Bitcoin treasury companies to separate capital raising from common-share issuance, while still linking corporate financing activity to the performance and perceived durability of their BTC holdings.

Samson Mow: Recovery in Preferred Shares Signals Confidence

Jan3 founder and CEO Samson Mow told Cointelegraph that recent adjustments by Bitcoin treasury companies are beginning to restore confidence in preferred-share products, reinforcing his view that Bitcoin has already found its bottom.

"I think every action that Strategy has undertaken to strengthen their balance sheet and encourage STRC to go back to par is also working," Mow said. He added:

But everything sort of works in tandem. I think as SATA returns to par, you're going to see STRC return to par too, because people say, 'OK, this model's not broken.' Everyone is capitalized for three or more years of dividend payments... there was no reason to panic all along.

Mow described the improving performance of preferred-share products as part of a broader shift in the Bitcoin treasury sector, where companies have continued refining their capital-raising strategies. He pointed to Lyn Alden's Orange Juice treasury company, which launched on July 15 with plans to operate a Bitcoin treasury, as another example of firms entering the market with different approaches and a lower Bitcoin cost basis.
