Michael Saylor's Strategy (MSTR) moves to pay STRC dividends twice per month

The plan would keep STRC’s 11.5% annualized dividend rate unchanged while aiming to reduce price swings and support steadier bitcoin buying, Strategy said.

  • Executive Chairman Michael Saylor's Strategy has proposed changing dividend payments on its STRC "Stretch" preferred stock from monthly to semi-monthly, with shareholders set to vote on the amendment on June 8.
  • Currently, STRC sees an average $0.45 price drawdown after ex-dividend dates, and Strategy aims to smooth this price action to keep the stock near its $100 par value, preventing volatility that hinders capital raising.
  • The proposed change maintains the 11.5% annualized dividend rate and $1.2 billion total obligation, while historical volatility dropped to just 2% between March and April 2026, according to Strategy's data.
  • If approved, STRC would become the only semi-monthly dividend-paying preferred stock in the market, compared with 32 that pay monthly, creating more entry opportunities for shareholders aligned with the U.S. payroll cycle.
  • Consistent pricing enables Strategy to issue shares through its at-the-market program to fund bitcoin purchases, allowing the firm to acquire bitcoin at a steadier pace and maintain capital raising capability.
