Anchorage Digital Discloses Holding Strategy's STRC Perpetual Preferred Stock

Anchorage Digital, the first U.S. federally chartered crypto bank, announced on February 25, that it holds Strategy's perpetual preferred stock STRC, on its balance sheet. The disclosure was made by Manuel Andreani, head of prime sales at Anchorage, during a presentation at the Bitcoin for Corporations event (held as part of Strategy World in Las Vegas) focused on “operationalizing” Bitcoin treasuries for institutional clients.

Andreani presented the STRC position as a concrete example of Anchorage’s alignment with the Bitcoin treasury strategies it enables for corporations.

Andreani did not disclose the size of the holdings, the number of shares, the dollar value, or the precise timing of the acquisition. Anchorage co-founder and CEO Nathan McCauley echoed the announcement on X, writing: “When the company that operationalizes Bitcoin infrastructure puts capital alongside the company that operationalized the Bitcoin treasury strategy… that’s a signal.” He highlighted ongoing collaboration between the two firms.

Strategy remains the world’s largest corporate Bitcoin holder, with over 717,000 BTC. It has used proceeds from STRC issuances to fund additional Bitcoin purchases. Launched in mid-2025 and listed on Nasdaq, STRC is a perpetual preferred security offering an 11.25% annual dividend paid monthly in cash. Adjustable rates help maintain stability near its $100 par value, providing investors with steady income and indirect exposure to Strategy’s Bitcoin treasury growth.
