Strategy declares preferred dividends as STRC stays at 12%

No new infopriced in
STRC rate maintained at 12.00%; scheduled preferred dividends declared
Strategy Inc (MSTR) — what happened, in plain English, and what it means versus what the market expected.

The filing confirms an already-signaled STRC policy. Strategy kept STRC’s regular dividend rate at 12.00% for periods beginning September 16, 2026, consistent with its previously announced plan to hold the rate until the security trades sustainably near $100. (STRC dividend rate section)

The preferred dividend stream remains intact, but nothing was enhanced. The board declared the scheduled September 30 payments and the next STRC payment for October 15, with no increase, new security, altered payment timing, or broader capital-allocation change. 〔0〕 (Cash Dividend Declaration section)

Net: this is confirmation, not incremental upside versus expectations. The rate continuation was already public, and the dividend declarations are routine for an established preferred-stock program; the filing mainly removes uncertainty around the next payment dates and amounts. The stated U.S. tax treatment is still an expectation rather than a final determination: the company expects the distributions to be returns of capital to the extent of holders’ tax basis.
