  2. Strategy Proposes Daily STRC Dividends Pending Shareholder Approval — this brief

Strategy, a bitcoin treasury company, has announced plans to implement a daily dividend payment schedule for its STRC preferred stock, as reported by multiple outlets including Crypto Economy, The Cryptonomist, and Bitcoin.com. The proposal, disclosed on October 16, 2026, would establish a new record date for dividends every day in November, with payments following accordingly.

The shift to daily dividends is conditional upon approval from common shareholders, who are scheduled to vote on the matter on October 28. According to a regulatory filing, the change is designed to provide more frequent dividend distributions without altering the total monthly dividend amount. The Cryptonomist notes that the proposal comes as the preferred shares remain below their $100 par value, which is also corroborated by Cointelegraph and CryptoBriefing.

Bitcoin.com reports that Strategy intends to maintain the STRC's 12% annual dividend rate, a detail that aligns with The Cryptonomist's account. The company aims to keep the stock trading near its $100 par value, as indicated in a Form 8-K filing that lists the par value as $0.001 per share. This suggests that the proposed changes are part of a broader strategy to manage shareholder value and maintain the stock's market position.

The development comes amid broader market dynamics, including MSCI's recent announcement of the removal of Strategy and Metaplanet from its indices starting in December, as reported by Bitcoin Sistemi. This move could influence investor perceptions and the overall market environment for bitcoin-related companies.

As of the latest market data, the total crypto market cap stands at $2.8 trillion, with Bitcoin trading at $81,301, down 0.87% in the last 24 hours and 1.75% over the past week. The Fear & Greed Index is at 63, indicating a state of 'Greed' in the market. The circulating supply of CASH is $127.48 million, according to DeFiLlama.

The proposed dividend changes could have implications for investor sentiment and the liquidity of STRC shares. If approved, the daily dividend structure could attract investors seeking more frequent returns, potentially supporting the stock's price near its par value. Shareholders and market observers will be watching the outcome of the October 28 vote closely.
