Frequently Asked Questions
Amendment
What is being proposed?
Strategy is proposing to pay daily dividends on all our U.S. listed preferred securities, with dividends accruing on every calendar day, including weekends and holidays, and paid on the next business day.
For STRC, this would mean moving from semi-monthly dividends to daily dividends.
For STRF, STRK, and STRD, this would mean moving from quarterly dividends to daily dividends.
Why is Strategy making this change?
The proposed change is intended to support price stability, including for STRC to trade closer to its $100 target price; dampen cyclicality through more frequent record and payment dates; drive liquidity by reducing timing considerations around entering and exiting positions; reduce reinvestment lag; improve market efficiency and grow demand by establishing the first global securities with calendar day accruals / dividends; and provide architecture to accommodate potential future developments in market infrastructure, including expanded or continuous trading.
Will my total annual dividend change?
No. The annualized dividend rate would not be affected by this amendment. You would simply receive smaller dividends more frequently (accruing for each calendar day and paid the next business day).
Will this affect my tax treatment?
The change in payment frequency does not change how preferred stock distributions are classified for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Please consult your tax advisor.
When would the first record date and payment date be in the new cadence?
For STRC: If approved, the first daily dividend record date would be November 1, 2026, with payment on November 2, 2026.
For STRF, STRK, and STRD: If approved, the first daily dividend record date would be January 1, 2027, with payment on January 4, 2027.
Do I need to do anything to receive daily payments?
No. If approved, the change would happen automatically. You would simply need to hold the applicable preferred security in accordance with the relevant dividend terms.
What happens if the amendment is not approved?
STRC would continue to pay dividends semi-monthly, as it does today. STRF, STRK, and STRD would continue to pay dividends quarterly, as they do today.
Does this change any of my other rights as a preferred holder?
No. The only change is how frequently dividends are paid and related changes to facilitate the more frequent payment schedule.
Will daily dividends still be eligible for divident reinvestment, or DRIP?
DRIP availability is determined by your broker. Please contact your broker to confirm whether they support reinvestment of daily dividend payments.
