Bitcoin's mining difficulty has seen a significant 15% increase, tightening miner economics. This adjustment, occurring while BTC trades in the mid-$60,000s, puts pressure on less efficient miners to sell coins to cover operational costs.

The STRC preferred stock is positioned as a high-yield savings vehicle.
