STRK: A Preferred Bet On Bitcoin, Yield, And Appreciation
Summary
- I seeded my son's UTMA account with STRK, Strategy's convertible preferred stock, for its blend of yield, downside protection, and equity-like upside.
- STRK offers a high-yield income stream, the potential for capital appreciation, and a lower downside risk profile than MSTR, making it a compelling option for a portfolio.
- Some risks include Bitcoin volatility, capital structure changes, and possible dividend deferral, but STRK sits higher in the capital stack than Strategy's common equity and STRD.
