Strategy STRC Dividend Rate Holds Steady at 12% in August 2026

STRC maintains 12% dividend rate for August 2026 amid price trading below par. ATM issuance paused, but $2B buyback program authorized to support liquidity.

Woofun AI reports that Strategy Executive Chairman Michael Saylor confirmed the Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Preferred Stock STRC will retain a 12.00% dividend rate for August 2026. The security, launched in July 2025 at 9%, has experienced seven consecutive monthly increases due to its adjustment mechanism, which raises the rate by 0.5% when the trading price falls below $95. This increase is irreversible even if the price recovers.

STRC closed at $89.46 on July 31, remaining approximately 10% to 11% below its $100 par value and failing to recover from a June low of $71.25. Strategy has halted new STRC issuance via its ATM program, restricting this funding channel for Bitcoin acquisitions.

However, the company holds a liquidity buffer covering roughly 26 months of obligations and authorized a $2 billion buyback and Bitcoin monetization program in late June.
