Strategy to Change Dividend Payment Method...Pushing for 'Twice a Month' Transition

Strategy is pushing to change the dividend payment method for its preferred stock STRC from the existing once a month to twice a month. The structure doubles the payment frequency while maintaining the annual dividend yield of 11.5%.

According to BeInCrypto, Strategy submitted preliminary proxy statement documents containing this information on April 17, 2026. The final decision will be confirmed by a vote at the annual shareholders' meeting scheduled for June 8.

In the current structure, a pattern of consistent price declines has been observed after monthly dividend payments. As investors who received dividends engage in profit-taking, the stock price drops, followed by an influx of buying interest targeting the next dividend, leading to price recovery.

Strategy believes that by dividing the payment cycle into twice a month, the individual dividend amount will be halved, thereby mitigating such price fluctuations. The explanation is that a shorter dividend interval is expected to reduce volatility by distributing sell and buy cycles.

Strategy stated that this measure is a strategy to keep the stock price close to its par value of $100, reduce price volatility, and simultaneously improve liquidity.

Indeed, STRC has shown a trend of gradually decreasing volatility since its launch in July 2025. The 30-day volatility, which was around 13% at the initial launch, recently dropped to approximately 2.1%. The stock recently traded at around $99.21, and the effective yield was recorded at approximately 11.59%.

If this proposal passes, the first record date will be set for June 30, 2026. The first dividend payment date under the changed method is scheduled for July 15. There will be no change in the total annual dividend amount.

Strategy has currently issued approximately $6.35 billion worth of STRC. These funds are being used to purchase Bitcoin (BTC), and the company holds over 762,000 BTC.
