Strategy plans to change STRC to daily dividends, maintaining an annualized dividend yield of 12% in November

Strategy officially stated that the company has conditionally declared a daily dividend for its variable rate A series perpetual preferred stock STRC from November 1 to November 30, 2026, maintaining an annualized regular dividend rate of 12.00%.This arrangement depends on the approval of the daily dividend amendment by Strategy shareholders at the special shareholder meeting on October 28, and the completion and effectiveness of the relevant preferred stock terms revision. If conditions are met, STRC will use each calendar day as the dividend record date starting from November 1, including weekends and U.S. holidays; the corresponding dividend will be paid on the next business day after the applicable record date.This adjustment will change the cash flow rhythm of STRC. The product currently adopts a bi-monthly dividend mechanism, and future holders will receive more frequent, smaller dividend payments; Strategy emphasizes that the adjustment will not change the annualized dividend rate or the total annual dividend amount. If the amendment is not approved, STRC will continue to pay dividends according to the existing semi-monthly rhythm.According to the proposed terms, the 12% rate will cover the entire month of November; thereafter, STRC's applicable dividend rate will be determined monthly, and the company must announce the next month's rate by the 15th of the previous month.

Michael Saylor elaborates on the strategy of digital credit strategy: MSTR focuses on maximizing returns, while STRC emphasizes stable income

Founder of Strategy, Michael Saylor, stated in a post that Bitcoin is digital capital, MSTR is digital equity, and STRC is digital credit.The company's corporate strategy is to create two complementary products from Bitcoin capital: MSTR provides leveraged Bitcoin exposure and holds ownership of a growing digital credit business; STRC aims to reduce volatility, compress duration, and provide dollar returns. Creating digital credit requires active management of the entire balance sheet, including Bitcoin, dollars, debt, preferred stock, and common stock, involving multiple decisions regarding capital, liquidity, priority, dividend rates, payment frequency, and investor terms.The company's goal is to create the highest quality digital credit products: supported by financial resilience, disciplined capital allocation, and a more stable investor experience to provide attractive dollar returns. Dividends are visible outputs, but the quality of the underlying system is the core work.The company engineers products by managing capital, debt, and liquidity. Investors seeking Bitcoin price exposure can directly hold BTC or spot Bitcoin funds; meanwhile, MSTR investors buy equity in a company that simultaneously seeks Bitcoin leveraged exposure and digital credit business growth, accepting amplified volatility and downside risk. STRC investors pursue a different experience: dollar returns, reduced price volatility, and shorter duration characteristics, relying on the company's capital strength, priority debt position, dollar liquidity, and active management to achieve this.The two are interconnected—capital structure directs more volatility and return potential of Bitcoin towards common stock, thereby providing credit investors with more stable income claims. The company manages the balance sheet uniformly, creating leveraged exposure for equity investors and dampened exposure for credit investors, both relying on the company's strength and execution quality.To achieve this goal, Strategy continuously manages various levels of the capital structure, including issuing and repurchasing STRC, distinguishing between payment reserves and allocated cash, adjusting dividend rates, optimizing security terms, and seeking shorter durations and longer payment runways.The company emphasizes that digital credit is a discipline that requires continuous practice: stripping volatility, compressing duration, and extracting returns from Bitcoin capital. Bitcoin itself does not pay interest, and Strategy pays dividends through security terms. The ultimate goal is to build stronger digital credit and create greater long-term value for MSTR shareholders, reinforcing the quality of capital and equity value.

first_img Castle opens Bitcoin savings stack to individuals, with dividends redeemable for Bitcoin at any ratio

According to Bitcoin Magazine, the Bitcoin fintech company Castle announced that it will open its automated Bitcoin financial stack to individual users and launch a pioneering feature in this category: users can choose to receive dividend income in cash or Bitcoin at any ratio.Castle's revenue comes from the perpetual preferred stock STRC issued by Strategy, which was incorporated into the platform earlier this year and currently pays an annualized dividend of 12% on a semi-monthly basis. Users can receive 100% of the dividends in cash, convert 100% to Bitcoin, or choose any ratio between the two. According to the company, most users opt for a compromise solution, using cash to cover daily expenses while automatically reinvesting the remaining portion into Bitcoin with each dividend payout.Castle co-founder and CTO João Almeida stated that investors have long faced a dilemma of choosing between stable income and holding Bitcoin. Castle allows users to achieve both cash flow and long-term upside by automatically converting a portion of the dividends into Bitcoin. Previously, Castle only catered to business clients such as restaurants, gyms, accounting firms, and e-commerce; the opening of personal accounts was due to repeated requests from business owners. Castle was co-founded by Almeida and CEO Stephen Cole and has received investments from Boost VC and Winklevoss Capital.
