According to Bitcoin.com News, shareholders of the Bitcoin holding company Strategy will vote on October 28 to decide whether to adjust the terms of STRC, STRF, STRK, and STRD, allowing for the daily setting of dividend record dates. The proposal requires majority support from all issued common stock voting rights, with abstentions and broker non-votes counted as opposition; preferred shareholders do not have voting rights.Michael Saylor currently holds 32.9% of the total voting rights, and the proposal needs approximately 17 percentage points of support from other shareholders. If approved, STRC holders can receive daily dividends from November 1 to 30, totaling $1 per share, with an annualized rate of 12%; if not approved, daily dividends will not be implemented.Strategy will announce its third-quarter performance on October 29. As of October 25, the company holds 848,517 bitcoins and $5.1 billion in assets.

According to an exclusive report by the East Asia Daily on October 26, the memory chip company SK Hynix plans to return 80% of the proceeds from the sale of its stake in the Japanese NAND manufacturer Kioxia to shareholders as a special dividend. The report cites investment banks and financial industry sources estimating the related proceeds to be around 20 trillion Korean won, with the special dividend expected to be about 16 trillion Korean won. The company intends to announce this plan during the third-quarter earnings release on October 28. Currently, this is an industry expectation and not an officially confirmed announcement by the company.Based on the current number of shares issued, the special dividend amounts to approximately 23,000 Korean won per share, which is 15 times the annual fixed dividend of 1,500 Korean won per share and 61 times the quarterly dividend of 375 Korean won. Whether the payment will be made in installments is still under consideration. Last year's total dividend was 2.1 trillion Korean won. The company stated during the second-quarter earnings call that it is exploring various additional ways to return value to shareholders and will share the details once determined within the year.In 2018, SK Hynix participated in a consortium led by Bain Capital to acquire the NAND business spun off from Toshiba, which was renamed Kioxia in 2019. The total investment by the company was approximately 395 billion Japanese yen, of which the fund's contribution has been sold in phases by Bain and fully recovered. In the first quarter of this year, part of the disposal recovered 4.1178 trillion Korean won, and after further disposal in the second quarter, the estimated proceeds, excluding the principal, are around 20 trillion Korean won. Kioxia's stock price rose from about 10,000 Japanese yen at the end of last year to a historical high of 112,700 Japanese yen on June 22 this year.

Strategy officially stated that the company has conditionally declared a daily dividend for its variable rate A series perpetual preferred stock STRC from November 1 to November 30, 2026, maintaining an annualized regular dividend rate of 12.00%.This arrangement depends on the approval of the daily dividend amendment by Strategy shareholders at the special shareholder meeting on October 28, and the completion and effectiveness of the relevant preferred stock terms revision. If conditions are met, STRC will use each calendar day as the dividend record date starting from November 1, including weekends and U.S. holidays; the corresponding dividend will be paid on the next business day after the applicable record date.This adjustment will change the cash flow rhythm of STRC. The product currently adopts a bi-monthly dividend mechanism, and future holders will receive more frequent, smaller dividend payments; Strategy emphasizes that the adjustment will not change the annualized dividend rate or the total annual dividend amount. If the amendment is not approved, STRC will continue to pay dividends according to the existing semi-monthly rhythm.According to the proposed terms, the 12% rate will cover the entire month of November; thereafter, STRC's applicable dividend rate will be determined monthly, and the company must announce the next month's rate by the 15th of the previous month.

U.S. President Donald Trump has once again promised that if the Republican Party wins the House of Representatives and the Senate in the midterm elections, every adult American citizen will receive a $5,000 dividend. This plan was previously proposed by Trump and remains a campaign promise.When asked whether this funding requires Congressional approval, Trump stated that they believe it does not; if it does, Congress will approve it. He also set a prerequisite that the funds must be spent within the United States, expressing a desire that this money does not flow to other countries, and claimed that this initiative will inject momentum into the economy.Based on approximately 240 million adult American citizens, the plan is expected to cost about $1.2 trillion, making it one of the largest economic stimulus plans in the U.S. since the COVID-19 pandemic.

According to Bloomberg, Strategy's Executive Chairman Michael Saylor is seeking to adjust the dividend mechanism for the company's preferred shares, proposing to change the dividend payment from bi-monthly or quarterly to daily for billions of dollars in preferred stock. The annualized yield on the related securities can reach up to 12%, and Saylor stated that this move would help improve liquidity and market efficiency.Previously, Strategy primarily raised funds by selling common stock to purchase Bitcoin, but as the premium of common stock relative to its Bitcoin assets disappeared, the company shifted to issuing perpetual preferred shares that do not dilute the equity of common stock shareholders. Such securities have no fixed repayment date and can provide a new source of financing for Strategy. The company currently has over $14 billion in preferred shares outstanding. Although the company has repurchased over $1 billion of floating-rate preferred shares STRC, it has still been unable to issue new STRC since May.Analysts pointed out that increasing the frequency of dividend payments mainly reduces dividend-related volatility, cannot eliminate credit and Bitcoin price risks, and may not necessarily enhance market liquidity. The shareholder vote on the proposal will conclude on October 28. Given that Saylor is the main shareholder of Strategy, the proposal is expected to pass.

Founder of Strategy, Michael Saylor, stated in a post that Bitcoin is digital capital, MSTR is digital equity, and STRC is digital credit.The company's corporate strategy is to create two complementary products from Bitcoin capital: MSTR provides leveraged Bitcoin exposure and holds ownership of a growing digital credit business; STRC aims to reduce volatility, compress duration, and provide dollar returns. Creating digital credit requires active management of the entire balance sheet, including Bitcoin, dollars, debt, preferred stock, and common stock, involving multiple decisions regarding capital, liquidity, priority, dividend rates, payment frequency, and investor terms.The company's goal is to create the highest quality digital credit products: supported by financial resilience, disciplined capital allocation, and a more stable investor experience to provide attractive dollar returns. Dividends are visible outputs, but the quality of the underlying system is the core work.The company engineers products by managing capital, debt, and liquidity. Investors seeking Bitcoin price exposure can directly hold BTC or spot Bitcoin funds; meanwhile, MSTR investors buy equity in a company that simultaneously seeks Bitcoin leveraged exposure and digital credit business growth, accepting amplified volatility and downside risk. STRC investors pursue a different experience: dollar returns, reduced price volatility, and shorter duration characteristics, relying on the company's capital strength, priority debt position, dollar liquidity, and active management to achieve this.The two are interconnected—capital structure directs more volatility and return potential of Bitcoin towards common stock, thereby providing credit investors with more stable income claims. The company manages the balance sheet uniformly, creating leveraged exposure for equity investors and dampened exposure for credit investors, both relying on the company's strength and execution quality.To achieve this goal, Strategy continuously manages various levels of the capital structure, including issuing and repurchasing STRC, distinguishing between payment reserves and allocated cash, adjusting dividend rates, optimizing security terms, and seeking shorter durations and longer payment runways.The company emphasizes that digital credit is a discipline that requires continuous practice: stripping volatility, compressing duration, and extracting returns from Bitcoin capital. Bitcoin itself does not pay interest, and Strategy pays dividends through security terms. The ultimate goal is to build stronger digital credit and create greater long-term value for MSTR shareholders, reinforcing the quality of capital and equity value.

According to Bitcoin Magazine, the Bitcoin fintech company Castle announced that it will open its automated Bitcoin financial stack to individual users and launch a pioneering feature in this category: users can choose to receive dividend income in cash or Bitcoin at any ratio.Castle's revenue comes from the perpetual preferred stock STRC issued by Strategy, which was incorporated into the platform earlier this year and currently pays an annualized dividend of 12% on a semi-monthly basis. Users can receive 100% of the dividends in cash, convert 100% to Bitcoin, or choose any ratio between the two. According to the company, most users opt for a compromise solution, using cash to cover daily expenses while automatically reinvesting the remaining portion into Bitcoin with each dividend payout.Castle co-founder and CTO João Almeida stated that investors have long faced a dilemma of choosing between stable income and holding Bitcoin. Castle allows users to achieve both cash flow and long-term upside by automatically converting a portion of the dividends into Bitcoin. Previously, Castle only catered to business clients such as restaurants, gyms, accounting firms, and e-commerce; the opening of personal accounts was due to repeated requests from business owners. Castle was co-founded by Almeida and CEO Stephen Cole and has received investments from Boost VC and Winklevoss Capital.
