STRC•Strategy will keep its STRC perpetual preferred stock dividend rate at 11.50% for June, the fourth consecutive month, paying $0.96 per $100 share each month. Institutional investors follow the June 8 vote on a proposed shift to semi-monthly payouts, while STRC trades below par facing competition from SATA’s 13% yield.
1. Dividend Rate Unchanged for June
Strategy on June 1 announced it will maintain the 11.50% annualized rate for its perpetual preferred STRC for the fourth consecutive month, disbursing $0.96 per $100 share. Proceeds continue to fund additional Bitcoin acquisitions.
2. Proposed Semi-Monthly Payouts Vote
Strategy has proposed shifting STRC dividends from monthly to semi-monthly payouts, pending shareholder approval. Voting closes June 8 and the change aims to reduce reinvestment lag, boost liquidity and market efficiency.
3. Trading Performance
STRC shares have traded below the $100 par value for over two weeks, with recent session volumes rising as investors weigh dividend stability against price discount. The par discount highlights market sentiment on preferred share value.
4. Competition from SATA’s 13% Yield
Rival Strive’s SATA stock offers a 13% annual dividend rate with planned daily payouts from June 16, drawing some yield-focused investors. The higher rate and payment frequency present competitive pressure on STRC’s fixed 11.50% annual yield.
