Strategy Holds 11.50% STRC Dividend Rate for Fourth Month Against 13% Rival
ASST•Strategy will maintain its STRC perpetual preferred stock dividend rate at 11.50% for June 2026, marking the fourth consecutive month and generating $0.96 per $100 share monthly to fund additional Bitcoin purchases. Investors note the unchanged payout contrasts with Strive’s SATA 13% rate and daily dividend shift.
1. Dividend Rate Unchanged for June
Strategy will maintain its STRC perpetual preferred stock dividend rate at 11.50% annualized for June 2026, equating to $0.96 monthly per $100 share, marking the fourth consecutive month at this level.
2. Shareholder Vote on Payout Frequency
Strategy’s board proposed shifting STRC dividends to a semi-monthly schedule at the same annualized rate; the shareholder vote closes on June 8, aiming to reduce reinvestment lag and enhance market liquidity.
3. Competition from 13% SATA Preferred
Strive’s SATA stock offers a 13% annual dividend with daily payouts beginning June 16, drawing significant trading volume and prompting some investors to rotate out of STRC despite ongoing institutional interest.
4. Funding Bitcoin Purchases
Proceeds from the 11.50% STRC dividends continue to support additional Bitcoin acquisitions, although Strategy briefly paused buys during its convertible notes repurchase program.
