Strategy conditionally declares daily dividends as STRC hovers below $100
Michael Saylor’s Strategy, the largest corporate Bitcoin holder, declared daily dividends on its STRC preferred stock for November, subject to shareholder approval and related amendments taking effect.
The company’s board declared cash dividends for each calendar day from Nov. 1 to Nov. 30, with payments beginning Nov. 2. Each dividend will be payable on the business day following its record date, according to a Form 8-K filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
STRC’s annualized dividend rate would remain at 12% for November. Strategy said management would keep recommending that rate until the stock demonstrates “sustained, healthy trading near $100 per share.”
Daily dividends could make STRC more appealing to investors and help it trade near its $100 par value. STRC is one of Strategy’s main fundraising vehicles for Bitcoin (BTC) purchases.
STRC was down 0.2% on Friday at $99.32 as of 1:36 pm UTC, according to Yahoo Finance.
Strategy added 250 Bitcoin for $21.5 million last week, bringing its total holdings to 848,250 BTC. During the week ending Oct. 4, the company repurchased $176 million worth of STRC, spending more than six times as much on the buybacks as on its $28 million in Bitcoin purchases.
On June 29, Strategy unveiled a capital framework allowing Bitcoin sales to fund dividends and increased STRC’s annual dividend rate to 12%.

Strategic oil reserves near record lows and still to be tapped! The United States plans to provide up to 17 million barrels of crude oil.
Data released this week show that the size of the US Strategic Petroleum Reserve is only about 13 million barrels less than its original scale when the reserve system was established. The US Department of Energy's recent call for companies to participate in crude oil exchange programs is part of the action following the March agreement among IEA member countries to release a total of 400 million barrels from their reserves this year. At that time, the US pledged to release 172 million barrels from its strategic reserves, but there has been limited participation from companies in the exchanges since then. Analysts believe that recent supply disruptions caused by hurricanes and other factors may prompt the US government to make further use of its reserves.
