Saylor's Strategy initiates buybacks and bitcoin monetization program, lifts STRC dividend
MicroStrategy has announced a new capital management strategy that includes a $1 billion share buyback program and a Bitcoin monetization framework. The company is also increasing its dividend on preferred stock to 12% while maintaining Bitcoin as its primary treasury asset.
Why it matters
This move represents a significant shift in corporate treasury management, integrating volatile digital assets with traditional financial instruments.
The company has already adopted a board approved U.S. dollar reserve policy and increased the annual dividend rate on its Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Stretch Preferred Stock (STRC) to 12%, effective for dividend periods beginning July 1. Strategy said its U.S. dollar reserve currently stands at approximately $2.55 billion, enough to cover about 17.4 months of preferred dividend and interest obligations.
