Strategy STRC Maintains 12% Dividend Yield in August 2026, Price Below Par

Strategy's Executive Chairman Michael Saylor confirmed that the Stretch Dividend Rate for the Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Preferred Stock STRC will remain at 12.00% in August 2026. STRC was launched in July 2025 with an initial rate of 9%, which has been raised for seven consecutive months since then. The dividend adjustment mechanism for STRC stipulates that when its trading price falls below $95, the dividend is increased by 0.5%, and the adjustment becomes irreversible once the price rebounds. Strategy resets this rate monthly to encourage the STRC price to approach the $100 par value and issues new shares through an ATM program to raise funds for Bitcoin purchases. STRC closed at $89.46 on July 31, down from the previous closing price of $89.50, approximately 10% to 11% below the $100 par value. The stock hit a low of $71.25 in June and has not returned to par since mid-May. Strategy has suspended the issuance of new STRC shares through the ATM program, limiting its ability to use this financing channel to increase its Bitcoin holdings. The company holds a liquidity buffer covering about 26 months of dividend and interest obligations and authorized a $2 billion preferred and common stock buyback and Bitcoin monetization plan through the Digital Credit Capital Framework in late June.
