Grayscale's research director Zach Pandl stated that if the price of Bitcoin has formed a solid bottom but is consolidating before recovery, a covered call strategy can generate income through Bitcoin volatility while managing spot price exposure. Grayscale assumes a Bitcoin spot price of $65,000 and an implied volatility of 40%, projected until the end of 2026. Under this assumption, the covered call strategy has an annualized return of about 22%, remaining profitable above a breakeven price of approximately $58,500, and outperforming holding spot Bitcoin alone when Bitcoin reaches about $72,500 at expiration.Pandl pointed out that option premiums provide income and downside protection, at the cost of giving up some upside potential when Bitcoin rises significantly. If the Bitcoin spot price falls below the breakeven price, the strategy will still incur losses, but the extent of the loss will be less than directly going long on spot Bitcoin, with the difference equivalent to the call option premium. Grayscale's Grayscale Bitcoin Covered Call ETF, with the ticker BTCC, aims to maximize income generation potential through writing covered calls. The fund does not directly invest in digital assets or initial coin offerings but gains indirect exposure to digital assets through derivatives related to exchange-traded products that hold digital assets.

According to The Block, Standard Chartered stated that it maintains its price prediction of Bitcoin reaching $100,000 by the end of 2026. The recent market decline triggered by movements related to Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) is not due to a deterioration of the company's balance sheet, but rather a failure of the strategic adjustments to be fully understood by the market.Geoffrey Kendrick, Global Head of Digital Asset Research at Standard Chartered, pointed out in a report that Strategy's recent behavior is disrupting short-term market expectations for Bitcoin. The market had previously accepted the narrative of the company "never selling Bitcoin," but now Strategy seems to be shifting towards a more complex capital operation model. Whether this change can be clearly communicated will determine when market pressure eases.Currently, Strategy holds 843,775 Bitcoins, accounting for over 4% of the total supply of 21 million Bitcoins. Between 2020 and mid-2025, Strategy's mNAV (market value/Bitcoin asset value) has remained above 1, allowing the company to finance Bitcoin purchases through stock issuance and achieve shareholder value growth.The commitment to "never sell Bitcoin" is the core of this model gaining market recognition. However, as the current mNAV approaches 1, the leverage effect of this financing model is weakening. Kendrick believes that Strategy is transitioning from a "Bitcoin accumulation tool" to a "Bitcoin credit support tool," meaning it holds Bitcoin as the credit basis for its perpetual preferred stock STRC.STRC currently has a scale of about $10 billion, making it the largest financial instrument launched by Strategy, with an annualized dividend yield of 12%, paid in cash every half month, and its price maintained around the $100 par value through an interest rate adjustment mechanism. Standard Chartered stated that STRC is currently trading at about $90, while Strategy has a dollar reserve of about $2.55 billion for paying dividends, which can cover approximately 17.4 months of dividend expenses.Kendrick stated that the policy adjustment allowing the sale of Bitcoin does not necessarily mean the company will continue to sell. He believes that as long as the market believes the new capital structure arrangement can stabilize the STRC price, Strategy may not actually need to sell Bitcoin. He likened this mechanism to a central bank's commitment to "take action no matter what": restoring market confidence alone may mean that actual intervention might not occur at all.

On June 29, Strategy raised the annual dividend of STRC to 12% and authorized a $1 billion buyback plan, covering four preferred securities: STRC, STRF, STRD, and STRK, with STRC being the initial preferred buyback target.Strategy disclosed that the buyback funds would not come from its approximately $2.55 billion reserves, but may come from the $1.25 billion Bitcoin monetization plan approved during the same period. STRC traded this week at a high of $80, dipping below $85 on some trading days, below the long-term trading target of $99 to $100 set by Strategy. Peter Schiff stated that the price of STRC below $87 indicates that Wall Street is questioning the growth rate of Bitcoin.

According to CoinMarketCap data, publicly listed companies currently hold a total of 1,340,145 bitcoins, accounting for 6.38% of the total bitcoin supply. Among them, Strategy holds 62.96%, ranking first; Others account for 15.45%; Twenty One Capital and XXI each hold 3.25%, Metaplanet holds 3.21%, and MARA holds 2.71%.Against the backdrop of record net outflows from bitcoin ETFs in June, corporate treasury allocations have shown divergence. Data shows that Strategy has recently reduced some of its bitcoin holdings, while Strive's holdings have surpassed 19,800 bitcoins, and mining companies like Riot and CleanSpark continue to increase their positions.
