Digital credit's Bitcoin beta has split in two.
In late July, all five preferreds moved with Bitcoin almost one for one. Since August, they have sorted themselves by price:
STRK ($75.42): 0.63
STRD ($74.19): 0.42
STRF ($104.00): 0.17
STRC ($98.51): 0.14
SATA ($100.01): 0.03
Par acts as a ceiling. This year, STRC's beta was 0.04 after closes at $99 or higher and 0.32 below that. SATA shows the same pattern, 0.08 versus 0.41.
The complex as a whole still tracks Bitcoin closely.
The composite's 30-day correlation sits at 0.72, the highest since March.
On Bitcoin's biggest days this year, it ran 0.89.
