On March 1, 2026, Michael Saylor said Strategy's Stretch Dividend Rate was raised by 25 bps to 11.50% for March 2026. Critics argue the dividend-centric approach, coupled with debt-funded Bitcoin accumulation, could strain cash flows if BTC stays under key moving averages with leverage still elevated. Supporters frame it as financial engineering aligned with long-term Bitcoin exposure.
