Strategy’s STRC dividends would shift to daily payments in November under a conditional declaration disclosed on October 16, 2026, while the preferred shares remain below $100, which Cointelegraph and CryptoBriefing call their par value; the Form 8-K lists a par value of $0.001 per share. The change would alter payment frequency, not the month’s total payout: $1.00 per share, at an annualized rate of 12%.
The plan requires common stockholders to approve an amendment at a special meeting on October 28, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. The amended certificate must then be filed by November 1 before the daily schedule can take effect.
Strategy’s STRC dividends would retain the 12% annualized rate
The board’s declaration covers every calendar day from November 1 through November 30, 2026, according to Strategy’s Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Each dividend would be paid on the business day after its record date, with the first payment expected on November 2, 2026.
If approved, daily distributions would replace the existing twice-monthly payments of $0.50 per share. Without approval, that schedule continues. Either arrangement provides the same November total.
Strategy said management would continue recommending the 12% rate until STRC achieves “sustained, healthy trading near $100 per share.” The shares stood at $99.32 at 1:36 p.m. UTC on October 16, down 0.2%.
Strategy’s STRC dividends sit alongside the preferred stock’s role as a major fundraising vehicle for Bitcoin purchases. The company bought 250 Bitcoin for $21.5 million last week, lifting its holdings to 848,250 BTC.
Buybacks accounted for substantially more spending in an earlier period. During the week ended October 4, Strategy repurchased $176 million of STRC, compared with $28 million spent on Bitcoin—more than six times as much.
On June 29, 2026, Strategy introduced a capital framework permitting Bitcoin sales to finance dividends and raised STRC’s annualized dividend rate to 12%.
