  • Michael Saylor announces daily dividend accrual for STRF, STRC, STRK, and STRD shares.
  • Strategy’s board approved the dividend changes, pending shareholder approval.
  • The company is targeting a stable $100 price for STRC, though it’s not a legal guarantee.

Strategy is proposing another change to its preferred stock setup. Executive chairman and co-founder Michael Saylor announced that the company wants dividends on STRF, STRC, STRK, and STRD to build up every single calendar day (weekends and holidays included) and get paid out on the next business day.

Saylor announced the plan on September 25 with the goal of boosting price stability, liquidity, and investor interest, without changing the actual dividend economics.

Reports on the filing show that the company’s board gave the amendments the green light on September 24. However, shareholders still need to approve them before anything changes.

With that in mind, it’s important to separate dividend economics from dividend frequency, as this proposal doesn’t raise the stated dividend rates across the board. What it does is let investors earn their dividend on a daily basis rather than tying it to less frequent record dates and payment schedules.

That could make Strategy’s preferred shares look more like investments that build up income every day. Daily accrual might also make them easier to price around dividend dates, which may cut down on the price swings that happen when investors wait for a quarterly or twice-monthly payout.

From Cautious Payouts to Daily Growth

The proposal comes after Strategy had already been trying out more frequent payouts.

STRC, Strategy’s Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Stretch Preferred Stock, pays a 12% annualized dividend right now. The company says it plans to keep that rate until STRC trades consistently and healthily near its $100 stated value. 

As of September 24, market data shows STRC closed at about $98.31.

Strategy has linked the $100 mark to its bigger goal for STRC before. In its filings and investor discussions, the company has said keeping the price stable around that level is a key objective, but it also makes clear that the $100 figure isn’t a legal guarantee.

Earlier in 2026, Saylor explicitly said Strategy had deliberately started with a more cautious approach to how often it paid dividends.

In a shareholder Q&A filed with the SEC, he compared Strategy’s approach to Strive’s SATA, which had already switched to daily dividends. Back then, Saylor said Strategy wanted to see how the market reacted to SATA and STRC before deciding whether to go daily itself.

That makes today’s proposal a meaningful progression rather than an isolated announcement.
