What is STRC?

STRC is a preferred stock issued by Strategy Inc. (formerly MicroStrategy), the company holding over 760,000 Bitcoin. It trades on Nasdaq like a regular stock and is available on Roxom through One-Click Trade.

Key characteristics:

• Pays 11.5% per year, deposited monthly
• Dividends are paid in BTC — Roxom automatically converts the USD dividend into Bitcoin and credits your account
• Designed to trade near $100 (par value)
• Not a perpetual contract — STRC is a tokenized stock, not a derivative
• Classified as Return of Capital (ROC) for dividend purposes, meaning distributions are not subject to U.S. withholding tax

STRC is a yield-bearing instrument, not a growth asset. You buy it for steady monthly BTC income, not for price appreciation.

How STRC works

Preferred stock basics

A preferred stock sits between bonds and common stock in a company’s capital structure. As a preferred holder, you:

• Receive regular dividend payments before common shareholders
• Have priority over common shareholders if the company faces financial difficulties
• Do not get voting rights or participate in stock price upside

How STRC stays near $100

Unlike most preferred stocks that have a fixed dividend rate, STRC uses an adjustable rate mechanism:

• If STRC dips below $100, the board raises the dividend rate to attract more buyers
• If STRC trades above $100, the rate is lowered or new shares are issued to bring the price back down

This mechanism has been tested — during the early 2026 Bitcoin correction (BTC dropped ~50%), STRC dipped briefly to the high $80s before recovering to near par.

Where the dividends come from

Strategy’s common stock (MSTR) trades at a premium to the Bitcoin it holds. Strategy sells new MSTR shares through ATM (at-the-market) programs, and the proceeds fund a USD Reserve used to pay STRC dividends.

• The USD Reserve holds approximately $2.25 billion (as of early 2026)
• Total annual preferred dividend obligations exceed $1 billion
• The reserve covers roughly 2 years of payments without any new capital raises

How dividends work on Roxom

When STRC pays a dividend, Roxom converts it to BTC and credits your account automatically.

Key dates to know

Date	What it means
Ex-Dividend Date	You must hold STRC before this date to be eligible for the next dividend
Payment Date	The date the dividend is paid. Roxom converts to BTC at the BTC/USD rate at the end of this date

Your BTC credit is processed on the Payment Date. In some cases, it may take up to 2 business days to appear in your account.

Upcoming dividend schedule

Dividend	Ex-Dividend Date	Payment Date
Next	May 15, 2026	May 31, 2026
Following	June 15, 2026	June 30, 2026

To qualify for the next dividend, you must hold STRC before May 15, 2026.

Dividend calculation

STRC dividends are classified as Return of Capital (ROC), which means they are not subject to the 30% U.S. withholding tax. No deductions are applied:

Eligible shares × Dividend per share ÷ BTC price = BTC credited

For example, with 100 shares (~$10,000 at par) at the current 11.5% annual rate:

• Annual dividend: ~$1,150
• Monthly dividend: ~$96
• Converted to BTC at the Payment Date rate

To receive the next dividend, make sure you hold STRC before the Ex-Dividend Date. You can buy STRC any time the U.S. market is open.

Risks to consider

STRC offers a high yield, but the risks are real:

• Funding model dependency — Dividends are funded by selling MSTR shares at a premium to their Bitcoin value. In a prolonged bear market, this premium could compress, making it harder to sustain payments
• Not a guaranteed peg — The $100 target is maintained through board decisions and market dynamics, not a hard peg. STRC can trade below$100
• Company credit risk — STRC is an unsecured claim on Strategy Inc. You do not have direct access to the underlying Bitcoin
• No ownership rights — As with all tokenized assets on Roxom, STRC tokens provide economic exposure only. You do not have voting rights or direct shareholder status. See Understanding tokenized assets
