Strategy Launches Bitcoin-Native Credit Model to Assess Its Credit Risk

Strategy has launched a Bitcoin-native credit model to assess credit risk, credit spreads, and other metrics for debt instruments (such as convertible bonds) and preferred shares (including STRC) issued by Strategy Treasury. The model uses custom metrics—BTC Rating (Bitcoin coverage multiple), BTC Risk (default probability), and BTC Credit (spread in basis points)—to analyze the debt and preferred shares, backed by the firm’s $52 billion Bitcoin reserves. All metrics are collateralized/risk-derived from Strategy’s held Bitcoin reserves, with Bitcoin price, volatility, and ARR as core variables. Analysts note that this initiative shifts Bitcoin from a store of value to a capital efficiency tool, driving institutions to treat BTC as a financeable asset and accelerating the development of the digital credit market.

U.S. regulators propose to block CME Group’s application to launch 24-hour oil contracts.

The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) plans to block Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME)’s application to quickly launch 24/7 oil contracts, amid concerns that energy markets are not ready for an influx of large volumes of all-day derivatives contracts. CME said in June it planned to offer 24/7 trading for a futures contract tied to West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil, denominated in 10-barrel lots, citing investor demand to manage positions “whenever news breaks.” On Wednesday, CME filed a self-certification application for the new product, which means the CFTC has only one day to intervene before the contract can be listed for trading. According to people familiar with the matter, the CFTC plans to block CME’s self-certification. CFTC Chair Michael Selesinger has met with executives from energy firms including Shell, Vitol, BP and ExxonMobil in recent weeks. Another application CME submitted for the same product, which requires a 45-day review period, is still under regulatory consideration.
