Strategy is asking shareholders to approve daily dividend payments across its four US-listed preferred stocks, STRF, STRC, STRK and STRD, with the change mainly aimed at helping STRC move closer to its $100 stated value. At the same time, Strategy Executive Chairman Michael Saylor has proposed a “bill of digital rights” covering the creation, ownership, transfer and use of digital assets.
Saylor also sees digital assets becoming a much larger part of the global economy, potentially reaching a $100 trillion industry as AI and digital finance develop.
Strategy’s proposal would allow dividends to accrue every calendar day, including weekends and holidays, with payments made on the next business day. The dividend rates and total regular dividend amounts would not change.
Shareholders are scheduled to vote on the proposal on October 28. If approved, STRC’s first daily dividend would be paid on November 2. The change is particularly relevant to STRC, which shifted from monthly to twice-monthly payments in June. Despite those payments, the preferred stock has struggled to return to its $100 stated value. It fell as low as $71 during Bitcoin’s June sell-off and currently carries an annual dividend rate of 12%.
Strategy says daily payments could make STRC more attractive to income-focused investors because they would reduce the waiting period for receiving and reinvesting dividends. The company also expects the change to smooth price movements around dividend payment dates.
Strategy has already spent about $1 billion buying back preferred shares under its $2 billion repurchase programme. That included about $174 million of STRC bought during the week ended September 20.
The company is also continuing to build its Bitcoin holdings. Strategy now holds 846,000 BTC, acquired for about $63.8 billion at an average cost of $75,416 per Bitcoin.
Meanwhile, Saylor is taking a broader view of how digital assets should fit into the future economy. In an essay, he argued that an era shaped by artificial intelligence needs a “bill of digital rights” rather than restrictions on digital assets.
Prosperity begins with freedom. Individuals and companies must be free to create, issue, custody, transfer, and use digital assets. Protect privacy. Encourage competition. Let people build wealth. https://t.co/SoG5U5iprU

His proposed framework covers five basic rights: the freedom to create digital assets, issue them to raise capital, hold them through a chosen custodian, transfer them between people and platforms, and use them for payments, investment, income and borrowing.
Saylor wants these rights to apply to both individuals and companies. He also argued that banks should be able to hold Bitcoin and provide loans against it, allowing owners to access capital without selling their holdings.
He further supports tokenized securities and greater competition among banks, fintech companies and technology platforms offering digital dollars.
Saylor connects these ideas with the growth of artificial intelligence. As AI agents increasingly perform tasks independently, he expects them to need digital wallets, programmable payments and financial services that operate around the clock.
His longer-term vision is for digital assets to become a $100 trillion industry, driven by easier capital formation, tokenized markets, digital payments and wider access to financial services.
