Strategy Inc. (MSTR) uses its STRC preferred stock to fuel mid-month Bitcoin purchases, with dividends paid monthly and ex-dividend dates on the 15th prompting investor activity. This pattern has led to increased Bitcoin accumulation, rising from 4,467 BTC in January to nearly 46,872 BTC in April, boosting total holdings to over 818,000 BTC worth $65.7 billion. STRC offers an 11.5% annualized dividend, attracting investors, and the company plans to increase dividend frequency to twice monthly to enhance liquidity. However, recent demand may be slowing as the stock struggles to trade at par, and Bitcoin futures funding rates remain negative, indicating cautious market sentiment.
