Strategy is buying Bitcoin again, spending $101 million to add 1,550 BTC. Shareholders also approved a new STRC dividend schedule, so holders will now get paid twice a month instead of once.
With this purchase, the company now owns 845,256 Bitcoin. The changes come as STRC trades below its $100 par value and as Strategy rebuilds its Bitcoin position after selling 32 BTC earlier this month.
Executive Chairman Michael Saylor shared that the company bought the Bitcoin at an average price of about $65,332 per coin, which is lower than its overall average cost of around $75,680.
The company said this purchase increased its Bitcoin holdings and also boosted its cash reserves, making its balance sheet stronger.
Strategy increased its U.S. dollar reserves by about $100 million, bringing total cash reserves to around $1 billion. The company funded both the Bitcoin purchase and the cash increase by issuing about $181 million in common stock during this period.
At the 2026 annual meeting, investors approved Proposal 5, which changes STRC dividend payments from monthly to twice a month. CEO Phong Le said this new schedule should improve liquidity, reduce price swings, and let investors reinvest sooner. Dividends will now be paid on the 15th and last day of each month, starting July 15, 2026.
This news comes as STRC shares are trading at about $94, which is below their $100 par value. Market analyst Scott Melker recently said that buying STRC below par might appeal to investors who think Strategy will keep doing well and that the share price could move back toward par value.
Strategy paid for most of its recent Bitcoin purchase by selling about 1.4 million MSTR shares, raising around $181 million. While STRC is still below par, MSTR shares have bounced back and were trading at about $127, up more than 5% for the day.
