Strategy Raises STRC Dividend to 11.5% as MSTR Extends Eight-Month Slide

Strategy has lifted the annual dividend on its STRC “Stretch” perpetual preferred stock to 11.5%, increasing the payout by 25 basis points. The move marks the seventh dividend adjustment since the income-focused security began trading in July 2025.

STRC is structured to provide steady monthly cash distributions, with its rate reset regularly to help maintain a trading price near its $100 par value. The preferred shares closed at $100 on Friday after briefly dipping below that level during February’s broader crypto market downturn.

MSTR Stock Posts Eighth Consecutive Monthly Decline

While STRC has held relatively stable, Strategy’s common shares (MSTR) continue to struggle. The stock fell 14% in February, extending its losing streak to eight consecutive months. The decline coincided with a nearly 20% drop in Bitcoin prices, reflecting the company’s significant exposure to the digital asset market.
