Strategy’s Bitcoin pricing calculator displayed an illustrative price of $210.90 on October 2, while the market price input shown was $99.50 for this perpetual preferred stock.

The current annual dividend of $12 (12% rate) and dollar-payment capacity, separate from Bitcoin coverage, remain distinct risks that the model cannot resolve.
