Strategy will ask common shareholders on October 28 to approve daily dividend payments for four U.S.-listed preferred securities. The Strategy daily dividends proposal covers STRF, STRC, STRK, and STRD and would replace their payment schedules with daily record dates if approved.
The virtual special meeting is scheduled for 10 a.m. Eastern Time. Investors that own Strategy common shares on September 25 can participate in the vote. It should be noted that preferred stockholders are not able to vote on STRF, STRC, STRK, or STRD.
Every Class A common stock grants one voting right, whereas every Class B grants ten voting rights. The second proposition will allow Strategy to adjourn the meeting to gather more votes.
How Would Strategy Daily Dividends Work?
In accordance with the new amendment, each day will be considered as a dividend record date. In case of declaration, the payment will be made within the next working day, including weekends and holidays.

Approval of Strategy daily dividends would not automatically declare future payments. Each dividend would still require approval from Strategy’s board or an authorized committee. Payments would also remain subject to legally available funds.
The amendment would change only the payment frequency, not the regular dividend rates. STRF carries a fixed annual rate of 10%, STRK pays 8%, and STRD pays 10%. STRC has a variable rate, which Strategy maintained at 12% for semi-monthly periods beginning after September 16.
Strategy expects the shift to more frequent payments to reduce reinvestment delays. The company also said the new schedule could improve liquidity and trading efficiency. These benefits remain company expectations rather than confirmed outcomes.
STRC Would Move First Under the New Schedule
STRC will be the first securities to trade under the Strategy daily dividends approach, provided that the proposed amendments have been passed and the new certificates have become effective. The first payment will be made on November 2 for securities held as of November 1.
However, until then, STRC will continue to operate on the semi-monthly approach during October, and the dividend is expected on the October 15 record date.
STRF, STRK, and STRD will continue to follow quarterly approaches until December. The first payments of Strategy daily dividends will be made for securities held as of January 1, 2027, and 3 on January 4, 2027.
STRC Already Uses More Frequent Payments
The October proposal comes after a modification to the STRC. The shareholders approved the semi-monthly dividends at Strategy’s June 8 annual meeting, where the previous monthly payment was changed to the 15th and last day of each month.
Unlike this, STRF has a $2.50 per share quarterly dividend for the third quarter, while STRK and STRD continue with quarterly payments, and thus the proposal of Strategy daily dividends will make them be on the same payment cycle.
What Will Shareholders Decide on October 28?
More than a majority of the voting power represented in common stock must attend a quorum. Proposals can be voted for, against, or abstained. An abstention on Proposal 1 means that the shareholder did not cast a vote in favor of the amendment.
Broker non-votes will be deemed to oppose the proposals since Strategy does not anticipate either of the matters to be routine. Voting instructions can be changed by the eligible shareholders until 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on October 27.
Strategy anticipates filing its definitive proxy statement around October 5th, which will start the voting process. The strategy board of directors recommends the approval of the amendment of the strategy’s daily dividend amendment, and the strategy may increase the demand for its preferred securities.
However, even if Proposal 1 is approved, Strategy needs to file its amended and restated certificate before the amendment becomes effective. STRC is anticipated to join the Strategy daily dividend schedule in November, while STRF, STRK, and STRD will join the schedule in January 2027.
