MicroStrategy is boosting monthly rewards by 2x for STRC holder .

MicroStrategy (now Strategy) has proposed changing its Stretch Preferred Dividend (STRC) payout format from monthly to twice-monthly. This change would double the payout frequency, while maintaining the annual yield at 11.5%.

The company filed its preliminary proxy application on April 17, 2026. Shareholders will vote at the annual meeting on June 8, 2026.

Why does MicroStrategy want to pay STRC dividends twice a month?

According to the current monthly dividend payment schedule, STRC typically sees a predicted price drop on the ex-dividend date . With each payment cycle, the share price falls as retail investors sell after receiving their dividends . The price then usually recovers as new buyers take advantage of the next dividend payment.

If dividends are paid twice a month, each payment will be halved, but the number of times received will increase. Chia and more frequent dividend payments will help reduce price volatility.

Strategy expects this change to help stabilize the stock price near the benchmark of $100, reduce cyclical patterns, and improve liquidation for STRC.

Since its launch in July 2025 , STRC has seen a steady decrease in price volatility. Its initial 30-day Medium volatility of around 13% has now dropped to approximately 2.1%.

Currently, STRC shares are trading around $99.21 with a real dividend yield of approximately 11.59% .

Things STRC investors need to be aware of.

If the proposal is approved, the record date for the first dividend payment under the new schedule will be June 30, 2026. The first payment under the new schedule is expected to take place on July 15. The total annual dividend amount remains unchanged.

Currently, Strategy has approximately $6.35 billion worth of STRC in circulation. The company uses the proceeds from STRC to continue purchasing Bitcoin (BTC), adding to its reserve of over 762,000 coins.

Voting will begin around April 28th. Shareholders whose names are on the list as of April 17th can participate in the voting process through the detailed instructions on Strategy's website.
