Strategy has introduced a proposal to change the dividend payment schedule for its STRC 'Stretch' preferred stock from monthly to semi-monthly. This adjustment is designed to enhance the stability and attractiveness of the preferred shares without affecting the annual dividend yield of 11.5%. Executive Chairman Michael Saylor stated that the goal of this change is to stabilize stock prices, reduce trading volatility, improve liquidity, and increase investor demand. Currently, the outstanding value of STRC preferred stock stands at approximately $6.4 billion, reflecting strong interest in high-yield investments linked to Bitcoin. Notably, the average volatility of STRC shares has decreased from 13% to around 2.1% in recent months, indicating improved stability. Shareholders will vote on this proposal by June 8, and if approved, the first semi-monthly dividend payment will be issued on July 15. The proposal comes at a time when Strategy shares have surged nearly 12% as Bitcoin approaches $77,000, showcasing the growing investor enthusiasm for Bitcoin-related equities.
