Bitcoin investment giants Strategy once again launches a silver bullet attack, announcing a 25 basis point increase in the annual dividend rate of the preferred stock “Stretch (STRC)” to 11.5%, attempting to stabilize investor confidence amid turbulent market conditions.
So far, STRC’s market performance has largely met the company’s expectations, with the stock price mostly staying near its face value of $100, with relatively limited volatility.
However, this dividend increase for STRC contrasts sharply with MSTR’s poor performance. Dragged down by nearly a 15% monthly plunge in Bitcoin, MSTR fell 14% in February this year and has now experienced its eighth consecutive month of decline, setting the company’s longest streak of consecutive losses.
Strategy describes STRC as a “short-term high-yield savings tool.” Since it began trading in July 2025, this is the seventh time the dividend has been raised.
