You own Bitcoin, a fundamental change to its "STRC" preferred shares. This change involves converting dividend distributions from monthly to semi-monthly to improve liquidity and stabilize the stock price.
Michael Saylor proposed this on April 17, and voting is expected to conclude by June 8.
Why is the strategy doing this?
Michael Saylor, Chairman of Strategies and a Bitcoin advocate, stated that the proposed changes aim to "stabilize prices, reduce cyclical volatility, increase liquidity, and grow demand."
Current STRC shareholders receive their dividends once a month. The company aims to change this to twice a month, meaning investors will receive dividends every two weeks instead of waiting a full 30 days.
The annual dividend payout remains fixed at 11.5%, with no reduction or increase. The only change is in the timing of payments, from annual to smaller, more frequent payments.
Saylor says that receiving dividends more frequently means investors don't have to wait long to reinvest them. This reduces what is called "reinvestment delay," the time gap between receiving a payment and reinvesting it.
