Strategy's preferred stock STRC landed on the UK trading platform Trading 212 on March 30, with an annualized yield of approximately 11.5%. However, UK investors holding STRC directly may face significant tax pressure. In the US, STRC's monthly dividends are classified as Return of Capital (ROC) and are not taxable; however, UK brokers typically classify them as foreign dividends, subject to income tax at the marginal dividend tax rate, with the basic rate taxpayer rate at 8.75% and high earners up to 39.35%. Additionally, capital gains tax (CGT) must be paid upon sale, resulting in an estimated actual net yield of only about 10%.Crypto analyst James Van Straten suggests that UK investors consider the 21Shares Strategy Yield ETP listed on the European exchanges in Amsterdam and Paris instead. This product has a zero management fee, employs an accumulating structure, and automatically reinvests earnings rather than distributing cash. Upon sale, it typically only incurs CGT, with no income tax burden, providing significantly better tax efficiency.

Currently, SWIFT is simultaneously collaborating with banks internationally to accelerate the financial industry's transition to digital finance.

According to The Block, digital asset management company CoinShares released a report indicating that Bitcoin miners are facing ongoing pressure to break even while accelerating their transition to AI. CoinShares' research director James Butterfill noted that the weighted average cash cost for publicly listed mining companies to mine one Bitcoin in the fourth quarter of 2025 has risen to approximately $79,995.The price of computing power has further dropped from $36 to $38 per PH/s/day to about $28 to $30 in the first quarter of 2026, meaning miners are still under more pressure. The report also pointed out that a triple negative difficulty adjustment at the end of 2025 is the first since July 2022, with publicly listed miners' Bitcoin reserves decreasing by more than 15,000 coins from their peak, with Core Scientific, Bitdeer, and Riot all having sold, and MARA separately announced the sale of 15,133 Bitcoins on Thursday.Regarding price outlook, Butterfill stated that a rebound in Bitcoin price to $100,000 "is not unrealistic," at which point the price of computing power is expected to rise to about $37 per PH/s/day; if it reaches the previous high near $126,000, it could reach about $59. If Bitcoin remains below $80,000 in the long term, the price of computing power will continue to decline with rising difficulty, but the exit of loss-making capacity may stabilize returns.In terms of the AI transition, Butterfill expects that publicly listed mining companies are rapidly accelerating their shift to artificial intelligence and high-performance computing, driven primarily by the higher and more stable returns in these fields compared to Bitcoin mining. By the end of this year, the revenue share from AI for publicly listed mining companies is expected to rise from the current approximately 30% to as high as 70%.

According to a report by Coinshares, Bitcoin mining profit margins are at a historical low. In the first quarter of 2026, the hash price fell to about $28-30 per PH/s/day, reaching a new low after the halving. The weighted average cash cost in the fourth quarter of 2025 reached about $80,000 per coin, with approximately 15-20% of mining machines globally operating at a loss.The transition of mining companies to AI is no longer an option. Publicly listed mining companies have cumulatively announced over $70 billion in AI/HPC contracts, and by the end of 2026, up to 70% of the revenue for listed mining companies may come from AI. Some mining companies are taking on huge debts for AI construction, fundamentally changing the risk landscape of the industry. There is a significant divergence in the valuation of mining companies; those obtaining HPC contracts have an EV/NTM revenue multiple of 12.3 times, while pure mining companies have a multiple of 5.9 times. The industry has differentiated into infrastructure companies and mining companies, with vastly different prospects for both.

Duncan Moir, President of 21Shares, stated that as the crypto market matures from simple price-tracking funds, actively managed exchange-traded products will become the next phase of crypto investment. Data compiled by Morningstar and Goldman Sachs Asset Management shows that by the end of 2025, global assets in actively managed ETFs are expected to approach $1.8 trillion.Duncan Moir pointed out that crypto, as an emerging and growing asset class, is particularly suitable for active management; 21Shares combines bottom-up research on single assets with quantitative and top-down strategies to manage risk and allocation, and has expanded its portfolio management and trading team.Duncan Moir added that after FalconX acquired 21Shares in October, the integration of the two is expected to accelerate product development, especially in the direction of more complex products. He stated that the demand for crypto ETPs and ETFs varies by region, with Europe having a more mature investor base, where institutions holding Bitcoin and Ethereum are seeking to further increase their crypto allocation.In this context, 21Shares recently launched an exchange-traded product in Europe linked to Strategy preferred stock STRC, providing exposure to high-yield tools related to the company's Bitcoin capital strategy, and noted that early demand for the product has been strong in multiple regions.Reports mention that as the crypto ETP and ETF market develops, issuers are launching more complex structures, with staking becoming one of the growth directions; Grayscale introduced staking in its ETP in October, and BlackRock launched a Nasdaq-listed Ethereum product with a staking mechanism in March, recording a trading volume of $15.5 million on its first day.Duncan Moir stated that 21Shares evaluates new products based on internal research, customer demand, and market trends, and cited its Bitcoin and gold ETP as an example, noting that the product has been running for four years and was recently cross-listed in London.
