Unless you are living under a rock...you've probably heard of STRC
STRC is a perpetual preferred stock tied to Strategy's btc treasury
→ ~11.5% annualized dividend
→ backed by a company sitting on 780k+ BTC
And now it's available on @pendle_fi in TWO ways:
APYX: clean separation of capital vs yield
- apxUSD - non-yielding synthetic dollar (used for liquidity / accounting)
- apyUSD - yield layer, vault shares (ERC-4626, accrues STRC dividend over time)
How's it work?
- funds go into a basket
- STRC (main anchor)
- other preferreds (like SATA)
- US treasuries
- always kept >100% collateralized
- excess = buffer vs STRC volatility
to exit yield (apyUSD → apxUSD) has a ~20 day cooldown and the yield stops during exit
OR Saturn: more direct, more reflexive (oh so reflexive)
- USDat - base dollar, minted 1:1 vs USDC (via tokenized treasuries)
- sUSDat - yield layer, appreciates as STRC dividends come in
Saturn has no overcollateral buffer, if STRC moves then flow straight into NAV
risk is managed dynamically:
- LTV-gated allocation
- based on strategy’s debt vs BTC NAV
- low LTV → more STRC exposure
- high LTV → auto rotate into treasuries
- yield streamed over ~30 days (same anti-JIT idea)
BUT STRC dividend resets monthly, so YT-sUSDat is pricing: future dividend resets PLUS saturn’s allocation decisions
This means you get faster exits (like 7 days) but more exposure to underlying moves
Keep in mind the risks (don’t ignore these): STRC dividend is not fixed...it depends on Michael Saylor / Strategy policy + off-chain components (custody, conversion)
