Strategy’s STRC dividends would shift to daily payments in November under a conditional declaration disclosed on October 16, 2026, while the preferred shares remain below $100 , which Cointelegraph and CryptoBriefing call their par value; the Form 8-K lists a par value of $0.001 per share. The change would alter payment frequency, not the month’s total payout: $1.00 per share , at an annualized rate of 12%.
The plan requires common stockholders to approve an amendment at a special meeting on October 28, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. The amended certificate must then be filed by November 1 before the daily schedule can take effect.
Strategy’s STRC dividends would retain the 12% annualized rate
The board’s declaration covers every calendar day from November 1 through November 30, 2026, according to Strategy ’s Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission . Each dividend would be paid on the business day after its record date, with the first payment expected on November 2, 2026 .
If approved, daily distributions would replace the existing twice-monthly payments of $0.50 per share. Without approval, that schedule continues. Either arrangement provides the same November total.
Strategy said management would continue recommending the 12% rate until STRC achieves “sustained, healthy trading near $100 per share.” The shares stood at $99.32 at 1:36 p.m. UTC on October 16, down 0.2%.
Strategy’s STRC dividends sit alongside the preferred stock’s role as a major fundraising vehicle for Bitcoin purchases. The company bought 250 Bitcoin for $21.5 million last week, lifting its holdings to 848,250 BTC.
Buybacks accounted for substantially more spending in an earlier period. During the week ended October 4, Strategy repurchased $176 million of STRC , compared with $28 million spent on Bitcoin—more than six times as much.
On June 29, 2026, Strategy introduced a capital framework permitting Bitcoin sales to finance dividends and raised STRC’s annualized dividend rate to 12%.
