The reasons why $STRC is trading below $95 currently:
1) The product was already struggling because the yield was too low. There has been too much compression between its current yield and the risk-free rate with USTs rising since March. I have spoken about this all month.
2) Every time Bitcoin has a significant drawdown the product trades down from par. We have seen this on multiple occasions previously.
3) The reduction of the USD reserve to repurchase the converts may have caused some people to sell. Likewise the sale of 32 Bitcoin may have spooked others.
4) The presence of $SATA has compounded all these issues as capital has moved from the lower yielding product to the higher yielding product.
The good news is all of this is easily fixed.
They will increase the yield and replenish the USD reserves. The move to bi-monthly dividends should also reduce volatility. It will also be helped by the stabilisation of the Bitcoin price.
No need for panic. Strategy are just fine.
Saturn is aware of the de-pegging of other STRC-backed stablecoins and protocols, but Saturn remains unaffected.
Saturn designed USDat and sUSDat to segregate the risk.

$MSTR had to sell the BTC to show the rating agencies that they have the capital to cover dividend obligations.
If Saylor refused to sell BTC, then rating agencies would not recognize it as capital.
new week, new post about the most popular @saturn_credit strategy on BSC
ethereum:0x23238f20b894f29041f48d88ee91131c395aaa71 market on @pendle_fi is still continuing to grow.
The reason for this is that yield farmers are super interested in the points multiplier which is currently allocated to BSC specifically through the saturn's Gravity program
Right now until June 6, @saturn_credit and @pendle_fi are running a boosted campaign.
Current multipliers are boosted for BSC's Pendle markets:
USDat: 36x for LP / 72x for YT
sUSDat: 12x for LP / 24x for YT
In a screenshot below, you can see the overall top 5 strategies on BSC by TVL size
Spoke with an onchain asset issuer at Consensus Miami.
He told me:
“If it doesn’t beat $STRC, it’s not worth tokenizing.”
$STRC is becoming the benchmark for DeFi.
USDat, powered by M0's modular stablecoin infrastructure, is @saturn_credit's stablecoin built for liquidity & settlement. Users hold digital dollars directly.
The staked version, sUSDat, offers exposure to $STRC, a @Strategy instrument that currently pays a variable distribution.
Saturn is now live on @BNBChain.
USDat and sUSDat will integrate across leading DeFi protocols - bringing $STRC to BNB Chain at scale.
Available to eligible participants outside the United States.
With @saturn_credit PT-USDat on @pendle_fi, there's a higher, but IMO, less-degen-loop to consider for PT-USDat/AUSD on Morpho.
1⃣ Lock in a fixed 8.96% APY with PT-USDat on Pendle
2⃣ Deposit PT in @Morpho and borrow AUSD (6.21%)
3⃣ Swap AUSD for more PT-USDat on Pendle
And repeat the loop until we get ~10x exposure.
The net APY should be about 33% = (10*8.96-9*6.21)
$189M in USDat is backed by $104M in US T-bills + $85M in STRC, which IMO, is a more conservative design to ensure USDat maintains a 1:1 peg to the dollar.
This is a more interesting STRC-backed looping yield.
Tokenization is no longer a niche experiment.
It is rapidly becoming a serious arena in which institutions compete to lead one of the largest new asset categories and where capital allocators pursue meaningfully better returns. 🧵👇
Strategy’s $STRC is coming onchain, opening up a new category of Bitcoin-linked yield products in DeFi.
In this article, we explore how @Pendle_fi enables users to access, separate, and trade STRC-linked yield.
