According to CoinDesk, STRC—Strategy’s dividend-paying preferred stock—recently fell below its $100 par value, sparking market discussion about the company’s capital structure and solvency. Key timeline events are reviewed below: May 14: STRC closed at $100 on the ex-dividend date; Bitcoin’s price remained above $80,000, yet market stress was already evident. Concurrently, Strive Asset Management announced its competing product, SATA, would adopt a daily dividend mechanism, raising its yield to 13%, further intensifying competitive pressure on STRC. May 15: Strategy announced it would repurchase $1.5 billion of its 2029 convertible bonds at an ~8% discount. The market subsequently noted that the company used its U.S. dollar cash reserves—previously earmarked for dividend and debt servicing—to execute this transaction. May 26: Strategy confirmed its cash reserves were deployed in the bond repurchase, reducing its cash balance to approximately $871 million—enough to cover only about six months of STRC dividend payments, down from its prior target of maintaining roughly 24 months of coverage. June 1: Strategy sold 32 BTC—the first Bitcoin sale since 2022—to demonstrate its ability to support dividend payments via asset sales. Following the announcement, MSTR’s stock price dropped 5.9%.

Monitoring by Odaily Seer Prophet Channel shows that the probability of "Claude Fable 5 restored for US customers before July 1" on Polymarket has risen to 73%, up 33% in 24H.If Anthropic reopens Claude Fable 5 (or Claude Mythos, or a version confirmed to be the same model) to the US public before the specified date, this event will settle as "Yes"; otherwise, it will settle as "No". Qualifying methods of restoration include public beta or public waitlist; closed testing and private access do not count. Other models such as Haiku, Sonnet, and Opus are not included by default unless they are confirmed to be the same model as Claude Fable 5. Settlement will primarily be based on official announcements from Anthropic, supplemented by consensus reports from mainstream media.Due to export controls imposed by the US government on national security grounds, Anthropic urgently suspended global access to the Claude Fable 5 model just days after its release on June 9. Although the restrictions were primarily aimed at foreign users, due to the difficulty of real-time user identity screening, Anthropic ultimately closed access for all users, including those in the US, and switched requests to less capable models such as Opus 4.8. Anthropic is currently engaged in high-level discussions with the White House on issues including model capabilities and potential jailbreak risks. The company has publicly stated that the ban may have stemmed from a misunderstanding and is actively pushing to restore access.Odaily Seer Prophet Channel continues to monitor the prediction market, seeing changes before they are priced in.
