Strategy Boosts STRC Dividend Rate to 11.5% for March 2026

Strategy, a leading crypto treasury vehicle, has announced an increase in the monthly dividend rate for its perpetual preferred stock STRC. The new rate is set at 11.5% for March 2026, marking a rise from the previous rate of 11.25%. This adjustment aims to balance income with trading dynamics around the par value of $100 and to finance continued accumulation of Bitcoin.

The company's chairman, Michael Saylor, made the announcement on social media, aligning with Strategy's stated direction to rely more on preferred stock than common equity for BTC-related funding. The monthly dividend payment will remain in place, with the next distribution scheduled for March 31 to shareholders of record.

Strategy has been actively accumulating Bitcoin, despite a challenging market environment characterized by price volatility and mixed financial results. Its ongoing purchases have led to a significant increase in its balance sheet, now holding a substantial stake of 717,722 BTC. The company's financing strategy is part of a broader industry shift towards asset-backed, income-generating structures that can sustain long-term BTC holdings.
