Strategy proposes daily dividend record dates for 4 stocks
The proposal would change dividend record-date frequency but leave the preferred series’ stated rates and total regular dividend obligations unchanged.
Sentiment and the balance of points
Rhea-AI Sentiment reads the wording of the document, how positive or negative its language is on a 1 to 5 scale. The balance of points shown with the takes weighs what the document actually discloses, so the two can disagree, for example when a trial that missed its main goal is described in upbeat language.
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Strategy Inc’s Board approved submitting proposed amendments for STRF, STRC, STRK and STRD to stockholders. The amendments would provide for a regular dividend record date each calendar day, with the related dividend, if declared, payable on the next following business day.
Assuming stockholder approval and the filing and effectiveness of the amended certificates, and subject to declaration by the Board or an authorized committee, Strategy expects the first payment under the proposed daily schedule for STRC on November 2, 2026, and for STRF, STRK and STRD on January 4, 2027. The amendments would not change the preferred series’ dividend rates, total regular dividends payable or the company’s overall dividend payment obligations. The special meeting is expected to be held virtually on October 28, 2026.

Special Meeting of Stockholders for Proposed Daily Dividend Amendments
On September 24, 2026, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Strategy Inc (the “Company”) approved the submission to the Company’s stockholders at a special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”) of a proposal to amend and restate the certificates of designations governing each of the Company’s 10.00% Series A Perpetual Strife Preferred Stock (“STRF”), Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Stretch Preferred Stock (“STRC”), 8.00% Series A Perpetual Strike Preferred Stock (“STRK”) and 10.00% Series A Perpetual Stride Preferred Stock (“STRD”).
The proposed amendments would provide for a regular dividend record date on each calendar day, with the related dividend, if declared, payable on the next following business day, as further described in the Company’s preliminary proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on September 25, 2026. Assuming stockholder approval at the Special Meeting and the filing and effectiveness of the amended and restated certificates of designations, and subject to declaration by the Board or a duly authorized committee, the Company expects to pay the first dividends under the daily schedule (i) for STRC, on November 2, 2026, to holders of record on November 1, 2026, and (ii) for STRF, STRK and STRD, on January 4, 2027, to the applicable holders of record on January 1, 2 and 3, 2027. Thereafter, each calendar day would serve as a record date for the applicable series, with the related dividend payable on the next business day.
The Board has established September 25, 2026, as the record date for the Special Meeting. The Special Meeting is expected to be held virtually on October 28, 2026.
The proposed amendments do not increase or decrease the total amount of regular dividends payable on STRF, STRC, STRK or STRD, change any of STRF’s, STRC’s, STRK’s or STRD’s dividend rates, increase or decrease the Company’s overall dividend payment obligations, or, other than as it pertains to the change in the frequency of dividend payments and other related changes, change the applicable rights and protections associated with each of STRF, STRC, STRK and STRD dividends.
The proposed amendments are subject to stockholder approval and, if approved, would become effective upon the filing and effectiveness of the applicable amended and restated certificates of designations with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.
