- Strategy may raise the STRC dividend from 11.5% to 12-12.5% at the June 30 reset.
- Saylor wrote that Strategy remains focused on Bitcoin and disciplined capital allocation.
- Samson Mow suggested that Strategy conduct a $1.5 billion OTC BTC transaction with BSTR.
Strategy may increase the dividend rate on its STRC preferred shares from the current 11.5% to around 12-12.5% during its next monthly rate reset on June 30, as per reports. There isn’t any official announcement yet, but speculation picked up because STRC’s dividend is variable rather than fixed, as with a regular preferred stock.
STRC isn’t like common MSTR shares since it’s specifically built for investors who want income, with a high cash dividend, while also giving Strategy capital to buy more Bitcoin.
According to Strategy’s official dashboard, STRC currently pays an 11.50% annualized dividend, which is adjusted each month to keep the shares near their $100 par value. The company also recently approved moving to semi‑monthly dividend payments after June 30, to boost liquidity and reduce price volatility.
On June 26, Michael Saylor (co-founder of Strategy) wrote on X, saying: “Volatility tests every capital structure. Strategy remains focused on Bitcoin, disciplined capital allocation, credit quality, and long-term value creation.”
The post seems aimed at calming investor worries about Strategy’s complicated financing setup, especially considering the steep drop in Strategy’s stock and its preferred shares, STRC, after Bitcoin’s price drop.
JAN3’s CEO Samson Mow Issues a Proposal
In the meantime, Samson Mow (CEO of JAN3, a Bitcoin technology company) publicly suggested that Strategy execute a $1.5 billion over-the-counter (OTC) Bitcoin transaction with BSTR, another Bitcoin treasury firm.
Instead of buying Bitcoin on public exchanges, the idea is for the companies to trade directly with each other. OTC deals mean less market impact, lower slippage, more liquidity, and privacy for large transactions.
Under the proposed $1.5 billion deal, BSTR would buy another 25,000 BTC from Strategy.
If this comes to pass, Strategy’s cash reserve would rise to $2.9 billion, while BSTR would push its Bitcoin stash to 55,021 BTC, moving the company to the second-largest corporate Bitcoin holder in the world.
There is no official response from either of the companies as of yet.
