Gate News message, April 18 — MicroStrategy, the world’s largest corporate Bitcoin holder, has proposed changing its STRC preferred stock dividend payments from monthly to semi-monthly to improve liquidity and stabilize the stock price. The proposal was filed by CEO Michael Saylor on April 17. The annual dividend yield remains unchanged at 11.5%, with payments shifting to twice per month instead of once monthly.
According to the timeline, a preliminary proxy was filed on April 17, with the definitive proxy filing expected on April 28. Shareholder voting is set to close on June 8, with the new semi-monthly schedule taking effect on June 30 and the first semi-monthly dividend payment scheduled for July 15. Saylor stated the changes aim to “stabilize price, dampen cyclicality, drive liquidity, and grow demand,” while reducing “reinvestment lag” by allowing shareholders to reinvest dividends more frequently.
Peter Schiff, a Bitcoin critic and gold advocate, has raised concerns about STRC’s structure, calling it “misleading to constitute fraud,” and warning that investors could file lawsuits if dividends are cut or the stock price falls significantly. His main concern centers on the use of STRC funds to purchase Bitcoin, noting that a Bitcoin decline could jeopardize dividend payments. Meanwhile, STRC stock has risen slightly to around $99.21 as Bitcoin price jumped to $78,000 and geopolitical tensions eased following Iran’s reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.
