What to know:
- The credit spread between senior STRF and junior STRD hit a record 1.5 in late November, signaling strong investor preference for senior exposure before normalizing to a 1.3 spread.
- STRF’s premium price reflects strong demand for senior protections even as its effective yield, at 9.03%, is now the lowest among Strategy’s preferred offerings.
- Strategy’s stock has recovered from its December low of $155 to about $185, reinforcing improving sentiment across the company’s capital structure.
Strategy’s (MSTR) senior perpetual preferred stock, STRF, is increasingly standing out as the company’s most successful credit instrument since its launch in March.
Trading at $110, STRF has risen 36% from issuance and has rebounded 20% from its Nov. 21 low of $92. That date also marked bitcoin’s local bottom near $80,000, highlighting the strong correlation between STRF and bitcoin.

STRF occupies the top tier of Strategy’s preferred structure. It pays a fixed 10% annual cash dividend and features governance rights plus penalty based step ups if payments are missed. Even with its premium pricing pushing the effective yield down to about 9.03%, demand remains strong due to the security’s senior protections and long duration credit profile.
In late October, executive chairman Michael Saylor highlighted a growing credit spread between STRF and the junior STRD. The spread measures the extra yield investors demand to hold higher risk junior securities, which is now at 12.5%. At the Nov. 21 low, that differential widened to an all time high of 1.5 as investors crowded into senior exposure, STRD was trading as low as $65. The spread has since normalized to around 1.3.
Divergence is now visible across Strategy’s preferred suite. STRC, has seen four dividend rate increases to sustain investor interest.
Strategy’s equity has also rebounded, climbing from a Dec 1 low of $155 to about $185, reflecting improved sentiment across both the company’s balance sheet and the bitcoin market since announcing a $1.44 billion cash buffer resevere for the preferred dividend payments.

A Netflix ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Short Film Has Been Rated For Release
The post A Netflix ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Short Film Has Been Rated For Release appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. KPop Demon Hunters Netflix Everyone has wondered what may be the next step for KPop Demon Hunters as an IP, given its record-breaking success on Netflix. Now, the answer may be something exactly no one predicted. According to a new filing with the MPA, something called Debut: A KPop Demon Hunters Story has been rated PG by the ratings body. It’s listed alongside some other films, and this is obviously something that has not been publicly announced. A short film could be well, very short, a few minutes, and likely no more than ten. Even that might be pushing it. Using say, Pixar shorts as a reference, most are between 4 and 8 minutes. The original movie is an hour and 36 minutes. The “Debut” in the title indicates some sort of flashback, perhaps to when HUNTR/X first arrived on the scene before they blew up. Previously, director Maggie Kang has commented about how there were more backstory components that were supposed to be in the film that were cut, but hinted those could be explored in a sequel. But perhaps some may be put into a short here. I very much doubt those scenes were fully produced and simply cut, but perhaps they were finished up for this short film here. When would Debut: KPop Demon Hunters theoretically arrive? I’m not sure the other films on the list are much help. Dead of Winter is out in less than two weeks. Mother Mary does not have a release date. Ne Zha 2 came out earlier this year. I’ve only seen news stories saying The Perfect Gamble was supposed to come out in Q1 2025, but I’ve seen no evidence that it actually has.

The post Hoskinson to Attend Senate Roundtable on Crypto Regulation appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Hoskinson confirmed for Senate roundtable on U.S. crypto regulation and market structure. Key topics include SEC vs CFTC oversight split, DeFi regulation, and securities rules. Critics call the roundtable slow, citing Trump’s 2025 executive order as faster. Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson has confirmed that he will attend the Senate Banking Committee roundtable on crypto market structure legislation. Hoskinson left a hint about his attendance on X while highlighting Journalist Eleanor Terrett’s latest post about the event. Crypto insiders will meet with government officials Terrett shared information gathered from some invitees to the event, noting that a group of leaders from several major cryptocurrency establishments would attend the event. According to Terrett, the group will meet with the Senate Banking Committee leadership in a roundtable to continue talks on market structure regulation. Meanwhile, Terrett noted that the meeting will be held on Thursday, September 18, following an industry review of the committee’s latest approach to distinguishing securities from commodities, DeFi treatment, and other key issues, which has lasted over one week.

It is part of the Donald Trump administration’s efforts to provide clarity in the US cryptocurrency ecosystem, which many crypto supporters consider a necessity for the digital asset industry. Despite the ongoing process, some crypto users are unsatisfied with how the US government is handling the issue, particularly the level of bureaucracy involved in creating a lasting cryptocurrency regulatory framework. One such user criticized the process, describing it as a “masterclass in bureaucratic foot-dragging.” According to the critic, America is losing ground to nations already leading in blockchain innovation. He cited…
