STRC DeFi keeps growing despite market turbulence.

It's pulling in serious size too: $ 10M+ from a single user deployed into STRC DeFi this week.
Here's the weekly roundup of interesting actions from protocols and users inside STRC:
1. @Strategy repurchased $1.5B of 2029 Convertible Notes (~$1.38B cash, or 92¢ on the dollar).
This halves the 2029 maturity wall from ~$3B to $ 1.5B. Strong balance-sheet optimization that gives them more runway to keep stacking Bitcoin and scaling STRC dividends.
2. @apyx_fi A Bitcoin power user deployed ~$17M worth of WBTC into Apyx. They borrowed stablecoins against the WBTC collateral and used the proceeds to mint PT-apyUSD + YT-apyUSD for yields and Apyx Points.
3. Apyx aggressively bought another 1,000,000+ shares of STRC this week.
Their total holdings now sit at ~$280M, helping push protocol TVL toward the $450M range.
4. @pendle_fi’s Apyx markets now offer deep liquidity, easily absorbing 7-figure swaps.
A whale recently deployed $ 2M+ to accumulate 2,034,423 PT-apyUSD at 18.94% fixed APY, highlighting strong demand for STRC-backed fixed yield.
5. @saturn_credit continues to grow. PT-USDat is now live as collateral on @Morpho and loopable against AUSD (via Flowdesk-curated vaults).
6. Saturn acquired another $20M in STRC over the past two weeks. Total holdings now ~$70M, with protocol TVL reaching $ 172M.
7. @xStocksFi launched STRCx (tokenized STRC) and integrated it with Pendle. This enables fixed-yield trading, yield speculation, and xPoints accrual.
8. @roycoprotocol’s senior tranche of apyUSD (srRoyAPYUSD) is now live on Pendle.
It offers capital-protected fixed yield as a lower-risk alternative for Apyx users.
STRC yields aren't cooling off.
Expect more 7-8 figure transactions flowing into STRC-backed protocols in the upcoming weeks.
