Michael Saylor Lifts STRC Preferred Dividend to 11.5% for March 2026 as Bitcoin Slumps

Strategy has raised the annualized dividend on its STRC preferred stock from 11.25% to 11.50% for March 2026, with the next monthly payout set for March 31. The move comes as STRC continues to trade around its $100 par value, while Strategy’s common shares and Bitcoin have both fallen sharply, pressuring the firm’s broader capital strategy. The company is increasingly leaning on perpetual preferred offerings to fund ongoing Bitcoin purchases despite a significant drawdown in the crypto market.
