Michael Saylor Opens Shareholder Voting on STRC Dividend Change Proposal

Michael Saylor has officially announced the opening of shareholder voting for a proposed amendment to Strategy’s STRC stock dividend structure. The proposal seeks to change dividend payments from a monthly schedule to a semi-monthly payout, a move the company believes could improve overall capital efficiency and market performance.

In a recent post on X, Saylor encouraged shareholders to participate, stating that investors can now cast their votes on the STRC amendment and make their voices heard. This announcement follows closely after Strategy’s significant $255 million Bitcoin purchase on April 27, reinforcing the company’s continued focus on digital asset investments and shareholder value.

The proposed change aims to deliver dividends twice per month instead of once, which Strategy claims could reduce reinvestment delays and enhance liquidity in the market. According to the company, more frequent payouts may also contribute to better price stability and improved market efficiency for STRC stock. These potential benefits are central to the company’s argument for adopting the new dividend structure.

Voting began on April 28 following the release of the definitive proxy statement and will remain open until June 8. A shareholder meeting is scheduled for the same day to finalize the decision. Eligibility to vote is limited to shareholders who held STRC shares as of April 17.

If approved, the updated dividend policy is expected to take effect later this quarter. The first record date under the new system is set for June 30, with payments scheduled to begin on July 15.

Strategy has outlined multiple ways for shareholders to vote, including online through brokerage platforms or by using control numbers found in proxy materials. Investors receiving digital notices will find voting details via email, while those receiving physical documents can use the information provided on their proxy cards. The company also noted that voting procedures may vary for non-U.S. shareholders, advising them to confirm eligibility with their brokers.

Meanwhile, MSTR stock saw a slight dip of 0.22%, closing at $165.35 in after-hours trading on April 28, reflecting cautious market sentiment amid the announcement.
