Strategy's board declares conditional daily STRC dividends for November
Strategy's board declared daily STRC dividends for November worth $1 per share, contingent on shareholder approval at an October 28 special meeting and effective amendments.
Why it matters
STRC is one of Strategy's main fundraising vehicles for Bitcoin purchases, and a daily payment schedule is meant to hold the preferred stock near its $100 par value, which it traded below on Friday. Nothing changes until the October 28 vote and the amendments take effect, so the significance of the declaration is limited for now.

What happened
Strategy's board declared daily cash dividends on STRC for each calendar day of November, contingent on shareholders approving the change at a special meeting on October 28 and on the related amendments taking effect before November. The declaration came in a Form 8-K filing with the SEC; Bitcoin.com reported that the board acted on Oct. 15 and that the filing is dated Oct. 16. Bitcoin.com put each day at $0.03 or $0.04 per share, $1 in total across November, with the first payment on Nov. 2 and the last November dividend payable Dec. 1, and CoinGape agreed on $1 while describing the run as Nov. 2 through Dec. 1; Cointelegraph instead framed the declaration as covering each calendar day from Nov. 1 to Nov. 30, with payments beginning Nov. 2. The annualized rate stays at 12%, and management said it will keep recommending that rate until STRC shows what the filing calls 'sustained, healthy trading near $100 per share' - Cointelegraph, citing Yahoo Finance, placed the stock down 0.2% at $99.32 on Friday afternoon. Strategy pays STRC dividends twice a month today, and in the week ending Oct. 4 it repurchased $176 million of the preferred stock, more than six times what it spent on $28 million of Bitcoin purchases. CoinGape noted that fellow Bitcoin treasury firm Strive already pays daily dividends on its preferred security SATA, so a successful vote would put Strategy alongside it.
