Wu Says learned that crypto investment firm ParaFi Capital said that the monthly trading volume of preferred shares in crypto asset reserve companies, calculated at face value, rose to about $13 billion in June 2026, setting a historical high, while it was about $4 billion in January this year. ParaFi said that, driven by the listing of STRC issued by Strategy and the listing of more new preferred shares, this segment is gradually developing into an asset class with higher liquidity and more mature pricing. In addition, the preferred equity financing model is expanding into the AI infrastructure space, with Alphabet and Super Micro Computer each launching or announcing the issuance of convertible preferred shares in June to raise funding for AI infrastructure and business expansion.

From 4 billion to 13 billion, Strategy’s STRC has effectively made the pie bigger—how much soup can the later followers get?

Preferred shares’ liquidity has been rising a bit too fast—tripling in six months; even people in traditional finance would have to be stunned to see it.

ParaFi’s data is interesting—crypto preferred stock and AI preferred stock are starting to compete side by side on the same platform.

13B in monthly trading volume—this market’s maturity is faster than I expected. Is this a signal of institutional entry?

STRC has indeed kicked off this space—now even AI infrastructure is being copied, and convertible preferred shares have become the new favorite.
