MSTR•MicroStrategy's shareholders voted to institute bi-monthly dividend payments on its Series A preferred stock, with distributions now due on the 15th and last day of each month. The first semi-monthly payout will occur on June 30.
1. Bi-Monthly Preferred Dividend Plan
MicroStrategy’s board and preferred shareholders approved a plan to pay dividends semi-monthly on its Series A preferred shares. Dividends will be distributed on the 15th and last business day of each month, replacing the previous quarterly schedule.
2. Implementation and Schedule
The next dividend distribution is scheduled for June 30, marking the inaugural semi-monthly payment. Investors will receive subsequent payouts on the 15th and final days each month.
