What to know:
- Strategy’s perpetual preferred shares, lovingly dubbed STRC, have stubbornly clung to that elusive 11.5% dividend for May, making it the third month in a row this figure refuses to budge-like a stubborn’s pet.
- With the price hovering at $99.75, STRC has been skittish since mid‑April. In the grand tradition of market cycles, experts predict that the time will come next week for it to ceremoniously snap back to its $100 par, as if bowing to a lover’s eye.
- MSTR, the company that dared to own Bitcoin in its coffers, has finally tasted victory: a 33% climb in April-the first joyous month in nine, as if someone finally flipped the switch on a dim lamp.
Strap in, dear reader, because Strategy-the colossal publicly listed steward of hard‑hued BTC-has decided to keep the 11.5% dividend for May on its perpetual preferred stock, STRC, marking a third consecutive month of rigid determination.
Last month’s volume‑weighted average price was a polite $99.76, a figure close enough to the $100 parishioner price to convince the board that staying the course was a good idea-kind of like holding onto a last‑minute seat on a crowded metro.
Since its inaugural listing in July 2025, STRC has been layering its dividend hikes like a sports chef seasoning a stew, starting at 9% and aiming for a steady, low‑volatility simmer that keeps its price tethered near the $100 tag. The company markets STRC as a short‑duration, high‑yield savings alternative, dishing out monthly cash that feels almost too generous to be a coincidence.
Yet, as if to remind us that markets love irony, STRC’s price slipped below par late last month and we’re left to wonder if it will straighten out next week with the grand display of a well‑tuned piano.
Meanwhile, MSTR’s common stock has bounced back, closing April at $165, a 33% lift, marking a first positive month in nine-like a sailor finally spotting land after a long convulsive storm.
On the more dramatic side, Bitcoin enjoyed the best monthly performance since April 2025, scampering up 12%-a reminder that even these “digital currencies” still keep life unpredictable.
Meanwhile, Strategy is considering moving STRC’s bonus payments from monthly to semi‑monthly-because why not stretch the suspense a little longer and keep everyone’s anxiety perfectly calibrated?
