How is STRC's dividend calculated?

STRC's annual dividend per share is the stated rate times the $100 par value, regardless of the price you paid. Your income is that per-share amount times the number of shares you hold.

How often does STRC pay?

From November 1, 2026 STRC pays daily: every calendar day is a record date and each dividend is paid the next business day, so a day's dividend is about 1/365 of the annual dividend (Monday's payment covers Friday through Sunday). Stockholders approved the change on October 28, 2026; the annual rate did not change. From July 1 to October 31, 2026 it paid semi-monthly. The rate itself is variable and evaluated monthly by Strategy.

What is STRC's effective yield?

Effective yield is the stated rate times 100 divided by the price you pay. Buying below $100 par earns more than the stated rate; buying above par earns less.

Enter an amount to see the STRC dividend income it would earn — annual, monthly and per payment. STRC pays its dividend on the $100 stated amount, not the market price, so when STRC trades below par a buyer also earns an effective yield above the headline rate: effective yield = stated rate × (100 ÷ price).

How STRC dividend income is calculated

Each share's annual dividend is stated rate × $100 par. Shares bought = amount ÷ price, so annual income = shares × rate × $100 ÷ 100. From November 1, 2026 STRC pays daily: every calendar day is a record date, paid the next business day, so a day's dividend is about 1/365 of the annual figure (Monday's payment covers Friday through Sunday). Each half-month still totals one twenty-fourth of the annual dividend. From July 1 to October 2026 it paid semi-monthly; before that, monthly.

Daily dividends, approved. At a special meeting on October 28, 2026, Strategy's common stockholders approved amendments moving all four of its preferred stocks to daily dividends (in Strategy's words, "based on preliminary voting results, the requisite vote was obtained"). From November 1, 2026, every calendar day (weekends and holidays included) is a STRC record date, with each declared dividend paid the next business day. Dividends whose record dates fall on a weekend or holiday share the preceding trading day as their ex-date and are paid together: Friday, Saturday and Sunday dividends all pay on Monday. STRF, STRK and STRD follow from January 1, 2027. The change does not alter any dividend rate or the total paid: the same annual dividend arrives in smaller, more frequent payments, and dividends are still paid only when declared by the Board. The schedule takes effect subject to the filing of the amended certificates of designations. Sources: Strategy's 8-K (SEC, October 28, 2026) and definitive proxy statement (SEC, October 5, 2026).

With daily dividends, the annual and monthly income above stay the same; only the per-payment amount shrinks, to roughly one day's share of the annual dividend.

Why effective yield differs from the stated rate

A $100-par STRC share paying 12% distributes $12 a year regardless of what you paid for it. Buy at $85 and that $12 is a 14.1% yield on your cost; buy at $100 and it's exactly 12%. This is why STRC's variable rate and its market price both matter — Strategy resets the rate monthly partly to keep the price near par.
