Strategy will adjust dividend payouts for STRC stock to keep the price close to $100.
The company uses a 5 day average price (VWAP) to decide if the payout should go up or down.
Payouts recently reached 11.5% to attract more investors seeking stable returns.
This plan helps Strategy raise money to buy more Bitcoin without the high risks of regular stocks.

Strategy created a new way to pay investors through a special stock called STRC. By checking the average price of the stock over five days, the company adjusts the monthly reward to keep the price steady at $100. This system helps Strategy raise the funds it needs to purchase even more Bitcoin.

Strategy is proposing to pay semi-monthly dividends on $STRC, instead of monthly. No change to the annual dividend obligations or dividend rate. These proposed changes are intended to stabilize price, dampen cyclicality, drive liquidity, and grow demand. pic.twitter.com/jHFRaDz6oP

A New Way to Keep Stock Prices Steady
Strategy announced a new plan to change how it pays dividends for preferred stock, known as STRC. The main goal of this update is to keep the stock price trading right around $100. By keeping the price steady, it becomes easier for the company to sell more shares and use that money to buy more Bitcoin.
How the Monthly Payouts Change Automatically
To decide the monthly payout, the company looks at the average price of the stock over the last five days of the month. If the price drops below $95, the company will increase the dividend by at least 0.50% to make the stock more attractive to buyers. If the price is between $95 and $99, the payout increases by 0.25%. However, if the stock price goes too high, above $101, the company will decrease the payout. This flexible system ensures that the Bitcoin yield remains high and attractive for long-term investors.

Using Stable Stock to Buy More Bitcoin
The ultimate goal for Strategy is to use STRC as a powerful tool to own more Bitcoin. While regular MSTR stock is exciting but also volatile, STRC focuses on providing a reward of around 11.5%. The company can issue more of these stable shares whenever they need funds for large Bitcoin purchases, such as their recent $1 billion buy.
