Strategy's preferred stock is moving to a daily paycheck. At a special meeting on Oct. 28, 2026, shareholders approved amended certificates of designations that permit daily dividends on STRF, STRC, STRK and STRD, according to the company's Form 8-K. Cointelegraph reports 99.3% of votes cast were in favor, based on preliminary results.
The timeline
Per the 8-K, the daily schedule takes effect on Nov. 1, 2026 for STRC and on Jan. 1, 2027 for STRF, STRK and STRD, subject to the filing and effectiveness of the amended certificates. Strategy's proposal page lists first payment dates of Nov. 2, 2026 for STRC and Jan. 4, 2027 for the other three.
STRC moves from semi-monthly payments; STRF, STRK and STRD move from quarterly payments, according to Strategy.
How weekends work
The preferreds will have a dividend record date on every calendar day, including weekends and market and bank holidays. For shares cleared through DTC, weekend and holiday record dates are deemed to fall on the preceding business day, and those dividends are paid together. The 8-K's example: dividends with record dates of Nov. 6, 7 and 8, 2026 would all be paid on Monday, Nov. 9. Strategy notes that treatment can differ on venues with weekend trading and tells investors to consult their brokers.
Rates unchanged
Annual dividend rates stay the same, Cointelegraph reports: between 8% and 12%, with STRC's variable rate currently at 12%. Strategy says the change aims to "reduce reinvestment lag, enhance liquidity and market efficiency, and increase price stability."
The move follows Strive, which introduced daily dividends on its SATA preferred in June, Cointelegraph reports. Strategy holds 848,517 BTC, according to BitcoinTreasuries.net data cited by Cointelegraph.
What it means for Web3 teams – Analysis
Bitcoin treasury companies are competing on the plumbing of their securities, not only on how much BTC they hold. Payout frequency is becoming a product feature, and clear explanations of mechanics, as in this 8-K, are part of how issuers build trust. This is not investment advice.
