Strategy Disrupts Nasdaq Again: STRD Becomes Third Bitcoin-Backed Preferred Stock to Launch
Wall Street''s latest crypto flirtation just got serious—again. Strategy Capital has launched STRD, its third Bitcoin-collateralized preferred stock on Nasdaq, proving institutional FOMO isn''t just a 2021 meme.
Why This Matters
Traditional finance keeps playing catch-up with a wink and a nod. These aren''t your grandpa''s blue chips—each share is backed by actual Bitcoin reserves, blending old-school market mechanics with crypto''s wild west ethos.
The Bigger Picture
Nasdaq now hosts three of Strategy''s Bitcoin-backed securities, suggesting even suits recognize digital gold''s staying power—or at least its commission potential. Meanwhile, purists scoff at the irony of trustless assets getting stamped with Wall Street''s seal of approval.
Bottom Line: The system still hates Bitcoin—until it needs a liquidity boost. Another quarter, another ''innovative'' product that lets boomers pretend they understand blockchain while collecting dividends.
