Strategy, the largest publicly traded bitcoin holder, has kept its dividend rate for STRC at 11.5% for May, marking the third consecutive month at this rate. The average price for April was $99.76, close enough to the $100 par value to maintain the current rate. Since its listing in July 2025 with a 9% dividend, STRC has experienced several increases as the company aims to reduce price volatility and keep it near the $100 par value. Strategy positions STRC as a short-term, high-yield savings alternative with monthly cash distributions.
Currently trading at $99.75, STRC has been below par since April 15, but is expected to return to $100 next week based on historical trends. Meanwhile, MSTR common stock showed signs of recovery, closing April at $165, up 33%, its first positive month in nine.
After falling 75% over eight consecutive losing months from August 2025 to March 2026, according to TradingView data, the stock is finally seeing an upturn. Bitcoin also had its best monthly performance since April 2025, rising 12% in April.
Additionally, Strategy is considering switching to semi-monthly dividend payments for STRC to further reduce volatility, moving away from its current monthly distribution structure.
