Strategy’s STRC trading has remained close to its $100 par value, enabling the company to raise capital quickly for a large Bitcoin purchase. The move has shifted Bitcoin prediction market odds, lifting the probability of Bitcoin reaching $80,000 in April to 45% (YES) from 30% the previous day.
STRC’s stable trading near par provided Strategy with the capacity to raise capital rapidly for a major Bitcoin acquisition. That capital influx has pushed market price targets higher, with the $80,000 threshold drawing the most activity. The $150,000 target is currently priced at 0.1% (YES). The speed of fundraising also signals continued institutional interest in Bitcoin exposure.
Activity in the $80,000 sub-market was concentrated, with daily face value volume of $962,377 and $335,686 in actual USDC traded.

With institutional capital behind the buying, the market is pricing a higher likelihood of Bitcoin price increases. Buying YES at 45¢ implies a potential 2.08x return if Bitcoin reaches $80,000 by the end of April, contingent on continued institutional buying and macroeconomic stability.
Investors are also watching for announcements from major Bitcoin holders, including MicroStrategy and BlackRock, as changes in their positioning could affect sentiment. Fed policy signals are another key factor; any dovish shift could support higher Bitcoin prices.
