Strategy Proposes Semi-Monthly Dividends to Accelerate 34,164 BTC Purchases
Strategy raised $2.5B through its STRC preferred unit to acquire 34,164 Bitcoin. It plans to shift dividends from monthly to semi-monthly at an 11.5% rate, reducing reinvestment lag, enhancing liquidity and accelerating Bitcoin purchases.
1. BTC Acquisition Through STRC
Strategy has acquired 34,164 Bitcoin by raising $2.5 billion through its STRC preferred stock unit, executing weekly purchases funded by periodic issuances whenever STRC trades above its $100 peg.
2. Proposed Semi-Monthly Dividends
STRC is proposing to shift its 11.5% dividend schedule from monthly to semi-monthly, aiming to shorten the time between cash inflows and Bitcoin purchases, smoothing liquidity and reducing reinvestment delays.
3. Preferred Unit Issuance Mechanism
STRC equity units are created when trading above par; proceeds are immediately deployed to buy Bitcoin, generating a flywheel effect that funds continuous crypto accumulation and can offer an effective yield of 17–18% after tax treatment.
4. Recent Share Performance
MSTR stock closed at $170.81 on April 20, up 2.58% despite broader market weakness, reflecting investor optimism around the STRC dividend shift and ongoing Bitcoin acquisition strategy.
