Strategy Holds STRC Dividend at 11.5% for Fourth Straight Month
Strategy kept the STRC preferred stock dividend at 11.5% for a fourth month as the VWAP held near par, signaling stable yield management for the bitcoin-backed security.
Strategy, the largest publicly traded corporate holder of bitcoin, has held the dividend rate on its perpetual preferred stock STRC at 11.5% for the fourth consecutive month, according to a company announcement.
The decision follows seven dividend increases since STRC's launch in July 2025, when it started with a 9% rate. The dividend was kept unchanged this month because the stock's volume-weighted average price (VWAP) reached $99.62, keeping shares close to the $100 par value — a key design objective. Strategy markets STRC as a short-duration, high-yield savings alternative, and maintaining the dividend near par supports investor confidence in the product's stability.
For crypto traders, STRC's steady yield offers a way to earn bitcoin-like exposure through a traditional security structure. The stability of the dividend suggests that Strategy's bitcoin holdings are performing well enough to support the preferred stock's payments. Investors can monitor current bitcoin prices on NowPrice's crypto page to assess the underlying asset's health.
Looking ahead, market participants will watch whether Strategy raises the dividend again in future months, which would depend on bitcoin price movements and the VWAP staying above par. The next dividend decision will come in July, and any change could signal shifts in the company's view of bitcoin's trajectory.
