What to know:
- STRC’s dividend rate remained unchanged at 11.5% after the stock’s monthly VWAP reached $99.62, allowing Strategy to keep shares trading close to their $100 target par value.
- Maintaining STRC near par is critical to Strategy’s ability to issue shares through its ATM program, generating capital for bitcoin purchases, debt management, and other corporate financing needs.
Just a heads up: I own stock in Strategy (MSTR). Strategy, which holds the most bitcoin of any publicly traded company, continues to offer an 11.5% dividend on its preferred stock, Stretch (STRC). This rate hasn’t increased for four months in a row.
Since launching in July 2025, STRC has increased its dividend seven times, currently offering a 9% rate. The dividend remained stable this month because the stock’s average price reached $99.62, keeping it near its intended value of $100 – a central goal when the product was created.
STRC is presented as a way to earn high savings yields over a short period. It’s a type of stock that pays out cash monthly, and the interest rate adjusts each month to keep the price stable and encourage buying and selling around its original value.
As a researcher tracking STRC, I’ve noticed its price hasn’t hit its usual $100 value since mid-May. However, it did bounce back recently after dropping to $97.11 on Thursday, closing around $99.10. Looking ahead, the important date to watch is June 15th – that’s when you need to own the stock to get the next dividend. Based on what we saw last month, I expect the price might temporarily rise back to $100 as we get closer to that date.
Keeping the stock price around $100 is key for Strategy, as it enables them to easily sell more shares through their existing program. This allows the company to raise capital, which they can then use to buy more Bitcoin or pay off debts, like the recent reduction in their 2029 convertible notes.
Michael Saylor, the Executive Chairman, continued his usual Sunday updates on social media, simply stating “Working Better.” This comes as investors are increasingly wondering if the company might need to sell some of its Bitcoin to pay off debts or dividends, or if it will keep using money from selling its stocks to buy more Bitcoin.
