Stretch (STRC) is Strategy's third preferred: it launched as the first in the series with monthly payments and, since June 30, 2026, pays dividends twice a month (record dates on the 15th and the last day of each month) following the amendment approved by its stockholders. With the same change, Strategy raised the annual dividend to 12% (from 11.5%) for periods with record dates on or after July 1, 2026: $0.50 per share per payment on a $100 par value. It was explicitly structured to trade near par ($100), making it easier for Strategy to run continuous at-the-market (ATM) programs and raise capital to buy more Bitcoin — the higher payment frequency is designed precisely to stabilize the price and speed up reinvestment. It is the most aggressive instrument in the series in yield terms, with the highest potential for an early call by the issuer if market rates fall.

Specific Risks
5 factors identifiedIssuer credit risk
Strategy's preferreds are not collateralized by the company's Bitcoin reserves. They are an unsecured obligation: in a bankruptcy scenario, senior bondholders are paid first and preferred holders only recover from residual assets afterwards. The backing is credit-based, not a BTC collateral pledge. A severe and prolonged drop in the Bitcoin price could compromise the issuer's ability to service the dividends.
Non-cumulative dividend
If the issuer's board decides not to declare the dividend in a given period, the investor loses that payment with no future claim. Unlike a cumulative preferred, missed periods are not recovered when payments resume.
Call risk (early redemption)
From Oct 2027 onward, the issuer may redeem the issuance at par value ($100 per share). If market rates are lower than the current yield by then, it will likely do so: the investor gets the principal back and must reinvest it at worse yields. This scenario is especially relevant for instruments trading at a premium to par.
Interest rate sensitivity
Like any perpetual fixed income instrument, the secondary price moves inversely to rates. A significant rise in interest rates can cause sharp price declines even if the issuer keeps paying dividends on time. The effect grows with effective duration, and perpetuals are the most sensitive.
Stacked dividend obligations of the issuer
Strategy has issued 5 distinct fixed income instruments (STRK, STRF, STRC, STRD, STRE) coexisting in the same capital structure. Each new issuance adds dividend obligations on the same underlying Bitcoin balance sheet. In a prolonged BTC bear market, the issuer's cash flow to service all dividends simultaneously could compress and force prioritization decisions across issuances.

Frequently asked questions
What is STRC?
STRC (Stretch) is a perpetual preferred stock issued by Strategy in August 2025, the third in its series. Perpetual means it has no maturity date: it pays a dividend indefinitely for as long as Strategy declares one. Its stated amount is $100 and it is structured expressly to trade near that value, which lets Strategy run continuous ATM programs and fund further Bitcoin purchases with them. It is not common stock: it carries no claim on MSTR's appreciation, it carries a claim on a payment.
How does the STRC dividend work?
Since June 30, 2026 it pays twice a month, with record dates on the 15th and the last day of each month, following the amendment approved by its shareholders. That same change raised the annual dividend from 11.5% to 12% for periods with a record date from July 1, 2026, which works out to $0.50 per share on the $100 stated amount. It launched as the first in the series to pay monthly and is now among the most frequent payers on the market.
Where can I buy STRC?
STRC trades in the United States, so you need a broker with access to that market and, above all, one that carries the specific ticker. US preferred stock is considerably less available on European retail brokers than common stock, and availability varies from one to another. Check the ticker with your broker before opening an account. Our guide to buying Strategy preferred stock covers the mechanics.
How is STRC different from SATA?
In the issuer and in the type of dividend. STRC is issued by Strategy, pays a fixed 12% twice a month and is designed to trade near its stated amount. SATA is issued by Strive, its dividend is variable rate (it started at 12.25% and stands at 13%) and it pays every business day. They are two different ways of getting paid for funding the Bitcoin purchases of two different companies.
