Strategy Inc. Tokenized Stock (Coinbase), trading under the symbol MSTRc, is a blockchain-based asset that provides eligible investors with onchain economic exposure to Strategy Inc., a business intelligence software company known for its Bitcoin treasury strategy. Issued by Coinbase on the Base blockchain, MSTRc represents a beneficial claim on an underlying Strategy share held in regulated custody. The token connects traditional equity exposure with blockchain-based trading and decentralized finance applications.
Strategy's Class A common stock trades on the Nasdaq under the ticker MSTR. The company's market performance is influenced by its software business, Bitcoin holdings, financing activities and investor sentiment. MSTRc is a tokenized representation of this equity exposure, not a cryptocurrency issued by Strategy itself. Its availability and associated rights depend on Coinbase's product terms and applicable jurisdictional restrictions.
Overview
Strategy Inc., formerly known as MicroStrategy, develops enterprise analytics and business intelligence software. The company adopted Bitcoin as a treasury reserve asset in 2020 and subsequently made Bitcoin accumulation a central part of its corporate strategy. It uses capital markets, including equity and debt-related financing, to support its Bitcoin holdings.
MSTRc brings exposure to Strategy's publicly traded equity onto Base, an Ethereum Layer 2 network. Coinbase's tokenized-stock framework is designed to represent beneficial claims on underlying shares held in regulated custody. Token holders receive economic exposure through the token rather than direct registration as shareholders in Strategy. The precise rights associated with MSTRc are governed by the issuer's legal documentation.
History and Background
Strategy became widely associated with corporate Bitcoin adoption after beginning its Bitcoin treasury strategy in 2020. The company has continued to expand its holdings through capital-raising initiatives, making its stock a market instrument influenced by both Bitcoin price movements and conventional corporate factors.
MSTRc is part of Coinbase's tokenized-stock initiative, which brings selected publicly traded equities onto blockchain infrastructure. The token is listed in Base's official asset directory as a Coinbase-issued tokenized stock. The initiative is designed to support onchain holding, transfers and trading, with access limited to eligible jurisdictions outside the United States under the product's Regulation S offering framework. Base's asset directory provides a reference for checking the official token listing and contract address.
Technology and Token Structure
MSTRc operates on Base, an Ethereum Layer 2 blockchain that supports smart contracts and onchain asset transfers. Coinbase's tokenized stocks use the B20 token format and are designed to be held in compatible self-custodial wallets and used across supported applications in the Base ecosystem.

Coinbase describes its tokenized stocks as backed 1:1 by corresponding shares held in regulated custody. The framework is designed to pass through the economic effects of dividends and account for corporate actions, such as stock splits, through onchain adjustments.

Use Cases and Market Position
MSTRc provides eligible investors with a blockchain-based way to access economic exposure to Strategy's equity. Depending on supported platforms and local restrictions, holders may be able to trade the token, transfer it between compatible wallets or use it in decentralized finance applications. These capabilities can connect tokenized equity exposure with onchain liquidity and lending markets.
Strategy's stock has a distinctive market profile because its valuation is influenced by its Bitcoin holdings as well as its software operations and financing structure. Consequently, MSTRc may be affected by Bitcoin market volatility, changes in investor demand for Strategy shares and developments in the company's capital strategy. Onchain trading can also introduce differences between the token's price and the price of MSTR on Nasdaq.
Risks and Considerations
MSTRc carries risks associated with equity investing, Bitcoin market exposure and blockchain-based financial products. Strategy's shares can experience substantial price swings as Bitcoin prices change or as investors reassess the company's financing, dilution and treasury strategy. The token may also face liquidity constraints, network-related risks and price discrepancies across trading venues.
Token holders should review the issuer's legal documentation to understand beneficial ownership rights, custody arrangements, redemption procedures and transfer restrictions. Holding MSTRc may not provide the same voting rights or shareholder protections as directly owning registered Strategy shares through a traditional brokerage account. Availability can also vary by jurisdiction and platform.
Users should verify the contract address against the official Base asset directory before trading or transferring tokens, as unrelated assets may use similar names or symbols. MSTRc is a Coinbase-issued tokenized stock associated with Strategy Inc., not a token issued by Strategy itself. Its utility and market access depend on the issuer's terms, compatible applications and applicable regulations.
