Strategy Maintains STRC Dividend at 11.5% for Fourth Month in a Row

Strategy, a prominent publicly traded corporate holder of bitcoin, has maintained an 11.5% dividend rate on its perpetual preferred stock, STRC, marking the fourth consecutive month at this rate.

STRC's price remains close to its $100 par value as the company manages yield stability alongside its bitcoin acquisition plans.

As of June 1, 2026, Strategy's STRC stock has a monthly volume-weighted average price (VWAP) of $99.62, keeping it near its $100 par value. This stability is vital for the company's ability to issue shares through its Automated Teller Machine (ATM) program, which finances bitcoin purchases and manages corporate debt.

Since its launch in July 2025 with an initial 9% dividend rate, the STRC has consistently delivered an 11.5% return. Despite not reaching its par value since May 14, the stock has rebounded from a low of $97.11 to around $99.10 recently. The upcoming ex-dividend date—June 15—could see STRC temporarily return to par as it has historically approached this value before dividend payments.

This price stability is crucial for Strategy, as it allows efficient share issuance to fund bitcoin acquisitions and settle debts, including obligations related to its 2029 convertible notes. Executive Chairman Michael Saylor has been active on social media, recently sharing updates and addressing investor concerns regarding potential bitcoin sales for debt obligations versus plans to grow bitcoin holdings through securities offerings.
