Strategy, a leading publicly traded bitcoin holder, has maintained its dividend rate for STRC at 11.5% for the third consecutive month. This decision is based on the volume-weighted average price of $99.76 in April, which is near the $100 par value. Since its listing in July 2025, STRC has experienced several increases from its initial 9% dividend rate, aiming to minimize volatility and keep the price stable.
Strategy positions STRC as a short-term, high-yield savings option, providing monthly cash distributions. Currently, STRC is trading at $99.75, below par since April 15, but a return to $100 is anticipated soon based on historical trends.
Meanwhile, MSTR common stock has shown signs of recovery, ending April at $165, a 33% increase and its first positive month in nine. Following a 75% decline over eight consecutive losing months, this upswing is notable. Bitcoin also saw a 12% increase in April, its best performance since April 2025.
Furthermore, Strategy is exploring a change to semi-monthly dividend payments for STRC to reduce volatility further.
