- The note tracks Stretch, a variable-rate perpetual preferred stock that targets a $100 par price and resets its distribution each month with a floor tied to short-term interest rates.
- STRC trades in pounds under ticker STRC with ISIN CH1528107811, charges a 0.00% fee, and can be bought in standard brokerage accounts without handling crypto wallets.
