Bitcoin Education Is Building Real Financial Tools
At our company, our goal is simple:
We want to educate people in Rochester, NY and surrounding areas about Bitcoin — as a technology, not just an investment.
Some people have been studying Bitcoin for 17 years. Others started last week. It's never too late to begin.
But one thing is clear:
The people who take the time to truly understand Bitcoin are building on top of it.
And today is a perfect example of that.
A Historic Moment for Strategy Inc.
Strategy has become the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin in the world. That didn't happen by accident.
Its founder, Michael Saylor, once dismissed Bitcoin — then took the time to deeply study it. He changed his mind, and leaned in.
And now Strategy operates as what many call a Bitcoin Treasury Company — using traditional financial tools to accumulate and manage Bitcoin at scale.
What makes today historic isn't just how much Bitcoin they hold — it's the financial engineering built around it.
What Is STRC — And Why Does It Matter?
Strategy has developed preferred stock products to give investors exposure to Bitcoin without requiring them to hold it directly. (Preferred stock is a type of investment that pays regular income — similar to a bond — but is issued by a company rather than a government.)
One of those products is STRC. Here's the simple version:
STRC has a par value of $100
The design goal is to keep it trading around $100
It pays a monthly yield (recently around 11.25%)
If STRC trades above $100, Strategy uses that excess to buy more Bitcoin
Think of it as a bridge:
Traditional investors ➝ Income product ➝ Bitcoin accumulation
On February 12, 2026, STRC traded at $100 throughout the full trading day. When it trades above that level, Strategy uses the difference to buy more Bitcoin.
That's not speculation.
That's financial design.
Why This Exists
Products like STRC don't exist because Bitcoin is a fad.
They exist because people studied Bitcoin deeply enough to build financial tools around it.
This is what happens when technology matures:
Engineers build
Financial professionals design structures
Investors gain options
Markets evolve
And it all started with education.
It's Not Too Late
If you're in Rochester, NY and think you "missed Bitcoin" — you didn't.
You may actually be early — just in a different way.
The real opportunity isn't just buying Bitcoin.
It's learning it.
Because when you truly understand the technology, you see why companies are building on top of it — and where innovation is headed.
Our Mission
We are here to educate — not hype.
Bitcoin is a technology. It rewards curiosity. It rewards study. It rewards patience.
The tools being built today exist because someone once chose to learn instead of dismiss.
If you're ready to learn, we're here.
