The Change Michael Saylor Has Been Pushing for at Strategy Has Finally Been Approved—It Could Also Impact Bitcoin

Bitcoin bull company Strategy announced today at its 2026 Annual Shareholders Meeting, held online, that shareholders approved a proposal to change the dividend payment schedule for its Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Stretch Preferred Stock (STRC).

Under the approved proposal, the current practice of monthly dividend payment and registration dates for STRC will end. Instead, dividends will be paid twice a month. In the new system, registration dates will be the 15th and last day of each month, and payment dates will be on the following registration day.

Strategy President and CEO Phong Le expressed satisfaction with the strong support from shareholders, stating that the “semi-monthly” dividend system aims to increase price stability, reduce cyclical fluctuations, strengthen liquidity, and boost demand for STRC investors. Le also noted that more frequent dividend payments would allow investors to reinvest their earnings more quickly.

The proposal was approved by both Strategy’s common shareholders and STRC investors. Subject to the company’s board of directors’ dividend announcement, the first entry date under the new semi-monthly system will be June 30, 2026, and the first payment date will be July 15, 2026. STRC’s final monthly entry date under the current system will be June 15, 2026, and the final monthly dividend payment date will be June 30, 2026.
