Strategy’s STRC ATM has shattered all records. More than $2.7 billion in just two sessions this week, far exceeding last week’s total volume. This was achieved with approximately 29,914 BTC absorbed by the market. Each transaction was above the $100 mark.
On Tuesday, April 14, Strategy closed its day with an estimated volume of $1.57 billion for its STRC ATM. Not a single transaction below the nominal threshold of $100. We’re talking about approximately 16,762 BTC absorbed in a single session, which is 37 times the daily supply of Bitcoin mined by miners. Added to Monday’s volume of $1.17 billion, the week already totals $2.74 billion in just 48 hours. Three trading days remain.
Completely crazy.
Comparison with Last Week
Last week, according to Strategy’s latest 8-K filing, a total of 13,927 BTC was exchanged over five full trading days. Essentially, what they achieved this week in two days far surpasses what they did in five days. The figure more than doubled in 48 hours, and there are still three sessions to go.
Over the two days, 100% of the STRC’s traded volume was above the nominal value. The demand for this instrument remains constant, with no weakening. The variable and perpetual rate of STRC is designed to convert demand into Bitcoin as soon as the stock exceeds the nominal value. Every transaction met this condition without exception.
In just ten trading days since the ATM’s launch, the market has absorbed an estimated amount of BTC that rivals the multi-year accumulation strategies of other corporate Bitcoin buyers. With three trading days remaining, the current pace could lead to a total of 75,000 BTC in five days. Not quite what was expected at the launch.
Factors Driving the Machine
Two main factors explain this crazy dynamic. First, price discipline: the STRC remained exactly at $100, with a yield of 11.5%, without any deviation. Then, volume expansion: a 34% jump in volume from Monday to Tuesday, from an already impressive record. Market observers noted parallels with STRC reaches $1 billion in a single day in recent weeks.
Strategy’s model works. Aligning the instrument to the nominal value and letting the market handle the conversion works on a scale that was theoretical last year. The numbers speak for themselves: two consecutive weeks of billion-dollar figures, two consecutive days of billion-dollar figures.
On Thursday, market observers noticed the stability of the STRC price at exactly $100, which facilitated transaction predictability. This disciplined approach played a key role in Strategy’s ability to maintain a steady flow of Bitcoin purchases. The 11.5% yield associated with this stock also attracted investors seeking to maximize their return on investment.
Strategy maintains transparent communication with its investors through regular updates via 8-K filings. These reports provide essential details on transaction volumes and BTC acquisitions, ensuring stakeholders have the necessary information to track the evolution of the STRC ATM. When contacted, they did not provide details on the next steps.
The market closely watches Strategy’s movements, especially after the STRC ATM demonstrated its ability to capture such significant volumes. Investors will monitor the remaining three days of this week to see if the trend continues. Probably yes, given the current figures.
Data revealed on Wednesday shows that the STRC’s trading volume continues to grow, with forecasts indicating a potential absorption of 75,000 BTC by the end of the week. This dynamic could redefine what it means to hold a significant corporate treasury in Bitcoin. Market analysts closely follow this trend to assess its long-term impact.

However, this intense activity around the ATM has also sparked discussions among financial analysts about the viability of this strategy in the long term. While the current volumes are impressive, the question remains whether this trend can be sustained over an extended period. The STRC ATM remains under scrutiny as the market adjusts to this new reality. Three trading days remain.
