Ondo Finance has launched tokenized STRC stock, Strategy’s Stretch perpetual preferred share yielding 11.5% monthly dividends. Tokenized STRC stock goes live on Ethereum, BNB Chain, and Solana, giving non-U.S. investors on-chain access to the Nasdaq-listed STRC stock.
However, some have raised concerns over the nearly 8% dividend yield and liquidity risks in tokenized STRC stock on Ondo Global Markets.
Strategy’s Tokenized STRC Goes Live on Ondo Finance
Ondo Finance announced the launch of tokenized STRC in an X post. The underlying STRC pays a variable monthly dividend currently yielding 11.5% annualized, backed by Strategy’s Bitcoin treasury strategy.
However, experts’ reactions are mixed, with some questioning liquidity, net dividend yields, added risks, and the mechanics of dividends on Ondo. This comes despite tokenized STRC is available on Ethereum, BNB Chain, and Solana networks through Ondo Global Markets.
While Strategy’s STRC currently pays 11.5% monthly dividend, Ondo Finance’s platform displays an underlying asset dividend yield of 8.03%. This gap stems from withholding tax rules, according to Ondo fees and taxes docs.
Ondo Global Markets, based in the British Virgin Islands, faces a 30% U.S. withholding tax on dividends received from a U.S. company. Those net dividends are automatically reinvested into more underlying STRC shares rather than paid out in cash.
DAMN! 3.5% haircut?

As a result, holders receive total return exposure through a gradual increase in “shares per token” rather than direct cash. Experts claim the tokenized price could diverge from the STRC price over time.
Kevin Yedid-Botton, investor and portfolio manager at ParaFi Capital, argued that tokenization does not solve STRC’s core issues.
“STRC liquidity on NASDAQ is already thin, and Strategy is actively raising the dividend to defend the $100 par. Tokenizing it reduces net yield (wrapper fees), adds risk (smart contract, AI), and fragments the thin float,” said Yedid-Botton.
In addition, he warned that tokenization could further fragment the float and layers on fees into the headline 11.5% dividend yield.
