Monitor trading debut of SATS preferred stock for price discovery relative to $90 IPO price and $100 stated amount. The 15% dividend yield is high, suggesting elevated credit risk; watch for bitcoin price volatility affecting Strive's ability to service dividends. The upsized offering signals strong demand but adds fixed-cost burden.
