Bitcoin’s 3.3% Annual Gain Could Fund MicroStrategy Series C Dividends Indefinitely
STRC•
STRC•Michael Saylor says Bitcoin needs just 3.3% annual appreciation to indefinitely fund MicroStrategy’s STRC dividends. The projection suggests that modest crypto price gains alone could sustain the dividend policy for STRC shareholders without additional capital injections.
Michael Saylor, CEO of MicroStrategy, stated that Bitcoin’s price needs to appreciate at an annualized rate of roughly 3.3% to indefinitely fund the quarterly dividends attached to the Series C convertible securities (STRC). This calculation assumes stable dividend obligations and relies solely on existing Bitcoin holdings held in trust for STRC shareholders.
If Bitcoin consistently meets or exceeds a 3.3% annual return, MicroStrategy could cover STRC dividend payments through crypto portfolio gains alone, potentially reducing the need for new equity or debt issuance. However, Bitcoin’s volatility introduces variability, meaning actual payouts could fluctuate based on market performance in each period.
