In a post on their official X account, the Stride team announced an orderly shutdown of the Stride chain. Stride Labs and the Stride Association are running critically low on funds. At the current burn rate, capital will be exhausted by February 2027, with the current on-chain TVL at approximately $6 million. The specific schedule is as follows: • By October 12: Users can redeem stTokens normally on Stride • On October 12: New redemptions will be paused, and the remaining staked assets will begin unbonding • Around November 20: The Osmosis pool will go live, and redemption functionality will resume All stTokens (including stATOM, stOSMO, etc.) and their underlying assets will be migrated to Osmosis’ Transmuter pool at a fixed redemption rate, with the redemption mechanism shifting to direct token swaps. Following the migration, stToken rewards will cease to accrue, but redemption rights will remain valid indefinitely. Users holding stTokens on other chains do not need to bridge them back to Stride and can redeem directly on the Osmosis pool.
Cosmos ecosystem liquid staking protocol Stride has announced plans to wind down the Stride chain's operations in an orderly manner. Users can redeem stTokens through Stride before October 12, after which the redemption function will be suspended; once the underlying staked assets are fully unlocked, a redemption pool is expected to go live on Osmosis around November 20.stTokens will not expire, users do not need to take action before the migration, and stTokens already deployed on other chains do not need to be bridged back to Stride. stTokens such as stATOM and stOSMO, along with their corresponding underlying assets, will be migrated to Osmosis's Transmuter pool and exchanged at a fixed redemption ratio; reward accrual will cease after the migration is complete. Stride stated that Stride Labs and Stride Association have limited financial reserves, and at the current burn rate, funds are expected to be depleted by February 2027.
Michael Saylor posted on X that the proposal covers STRF, STRC, STRK, and STRD. Dividends will accrue on each calendar day, including weekends and holidays, and will be paid on the next business day; the relevant economic terms remain unchanged. The proposal aims to support price stability, liquidity, and demand.
According to a post by MicroStrategy founder Michael Saylor, MicroStrategy has upgraded the dashboard for four preferred stock products: STRC, STRD, STRK, and STRF, adding metrics such as Bitcoin rating, after-tax effective yield, and one-year Sharpe ratio. These new tools can be used to evaluate the yield levels, credit quality, downside protection, and risk-adjusted returns of the relevant products.
on June 29, Strategy raised the annualized dividend of STRC to 12% and authorized a $1 billion buyback plan covering four preferred securities: STRC, STRF, STRD, and STRK, with STRC as the initial priority repurchase target. Strategy disclosed that the buyback funds will not come from its approximately $2.55 billion cash reserve, but may instead come from the concurrently approved $1.25 billion Bitcoin monetization program. STRC traded in the mid-to-high $80 range this week, dipping below $85 on some trading days, falling short of Strategy's long-term trading target of $99 to $100. Peter Schiff stated that prices below $87 for STRC indicate Wall Street's skepticism regarding the pace of Bitcoin growth. (Bitcoin.com News).
