- Strategy proposes daily dividend payments for STRC preferred shares starting November 2.

- Annual dividend rate of 12% would remain unchanged under the new structure.
- STRC preferred shares currently trade near $100, their par value.
Multiple outlets, including Crypto Economy, The Cryptonomist, and Bitcoin.com, report that Strategy has proposed a daily dividend payment schedule for its STRC preferred stock, set to begin in November if approved by shareholders. The proposal would establish a new record date for dividends each day in November, with payments following the approval vote on October 28. However, while The Cryptonomist mentions that the change is conditional on the stock remaining below $100, Bitcoin.com emphasizes Strategy's intention to maintain the 12% annual dividend rate and keep the stock near its $100 par value, as noted in the Form 8-K filing.

- Strategy Proposes Daily Dividend Structure for STRC Preferred Stock — this brief
Strategy, a bitcoin treasury company led by Michael Saylor, has announced plans to shift its STRC preferred stock dividend payments to a daily schedule starting November 2. The proposal, disclosed on October 16, 2026, is contingent upon approval from common shareholders in a vote scheduled for October 28.
According to a regulatory filing, the new structure would establish a daily record date for dividends throughout November. This change would increase the frequency of payments but would not alter the total dividend amount for the month. The annual dividend rate of 12% is expected to remain unchanged under the new structure.
The Cryptonomist and CryptoBriefing note that the preferred shares have a par value of $100, while the Form 8-K filing lists a par value of $0.001 per share. This discrepancy highlights the complexity of the proposed changes and the importance of shareholder approval.
The move comes as Strategy seeks to maintain the trading value of its preferred stock near the $100 par level. The company believes that the daily dividend structure could attract more investors by providing more frequent income opportunities.
