STRC Dividend History

• What it is: Strategy's Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Stretch Preferred Stock. Dividends are cumulative, paid in cash, on a $100 stated amount per share.
• The current rate: 12.00% a year per Strategy's STRC page, which works out to $0.50 per share on each of the two monthly record dates.
• The record: 17 dividends with record dates from August 2025 through September 15, 2026, totaling $12.92 per share ($8.67 of it from 2026 record dates). Each is paid on the next record date, about two weeks later.
• The rate is the lever: Strategy says it sets the rate with the intent of keeping STRC trading at or near $100. The implied rate in our record climbed from 10.00% on the September 2025 check to 12.00% today.
• Twice a month since June 30, 2026: shareholders approved the change at the June 8 annual meeting. Each check is now half the old monthly amount, so the chart shows smaller, more frequent bars. That is a schedule change, not a cut.

STRC is a preferred stock, not a fund: every dividend depends on Strategy's ability and decision to pay it, and the company can change the variable rate. Perpetual means there is no maturity date that returns your $100. Strategy said it expected the July 15, 2026 dividend to be treated as non-taxable return of capital up to your cost basis; tax treatment can change year to year. Amounts in our record come from market data; Strategy's announcements are the authority on any single payment.

Each bar below is one real STRC dividend, dated by its record date. Through June 15, 2026 you'll see one bar a month; after, two bars at half the size. Multiply the older bars by 12 or the newer ones by 24 and you get the annual rate Strategy had set at the time.

Each point is one payment; the line ends at the most recent payout. The table below totals them by year.

• Trailing 12 months: $11.79 per share across 16 payments — paying since Aug 2025, so no full prior-year comparison yet. What a change like that does to your income →
• Current pace: recent payments annualize to $12.00 — 2% above the trailing figure. When those two disagree, the trailing yield is quoting the past. Live cut & raise board →
• Share price, same 12 months: up 2% (dividends excluded) — income and principal are one story. Erosion Index →
• Record: 18 payments over 14 months; the largest single payment was $0.958 (Mar 2026).
• Payment drops ≥20% below trend, last 24 months: 5. Get alerted to the next one →
• Payment steadiness: the last 12 checks wobble ±38% around their median. Compare that against any fund →

"Next expected" is estimated from STRC's recent payment rhythm — the fund announces exact dates shortly before each payout, and the data feed can lag a few days. You must own shares before the ex-dividend date to receive that payout; the cash typically arrives days later. See every fund's upcoming date on the live dividend calendar.

A real total-return estimate, assuming every payout was reinvested — including what happened to the share price. Before taxes and fees. Past performance does not predict the future.

A fixed-rate preferred sets the dividend and lets the price float. STRC does the reverse: the price is the target and the dividend is the tool. When STRC trades below its $100 stated amount, a higher rate makes it more attractive; when it trades above, the rate can come down. That's why the per-share amount in our record rose in small steps, $0.833 to $0.958 a month, before the switch to $0.50 twice a month at 12%.

The mechanism has limits you can see in the price history. STRC closed the week of July 6, 2026 at $87.48 even at a 12.00% rate, and Strategy bought back 288,930 shares from July 20 to 26 at an average of about $86.52. By the week of September 7 it closed at $98.64. A rising rate is also a signal worth reading both ways: it pays you more, and it says the market needed more to hold the price.
