Michael Saylor, a co-founder and the executive chairman on the Bitcoin treasury firm Strategy (MicroStrategy converted), has taken to his account on the social media network X to reveal the company’s “Bitcoin Defence Department” to the crypto community.
This tweet was published a day after Strategy announced a new proposed initial public offering of the STRC (“Stretch”) stock to fund further Bitcoin accumulation.
"Bitcoin Defense Department"
Saylor’s tweet contains an image of a pentacle, which looks like the Pentagon building from above, the US Department of Defense. Each corner of this pentacle carries a name of Strategy’s stock – MSTR (at the head of the figure), followed by STRC going clockwise.
Then come STRD, STRK, and STRF – all the stocks that Strategy has already been using to raise funds from institutional investors for Bitcoin accumulation.

STRC is short for “shares of Strategy’s Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Stretch Preferred Stock,” of which 5,000,000 will be issued and sold, according to the press release shared by Saylor a day earlier. The net proceeds will be used for “general corporate purposes, including the acquisition of Bitcoin and for working capital.” One STRC will be sold for $100 a share.
