Strategy (NASDAQ: STRC), formerly MicroStrategy, is issuing its first monthly dividend payment of 2026 next Saturday, January 31, continuing the schedule established in August last year when the company started rewarding holders of its Variable Rate Series A Perpetual shares.
To be precise, the business intelligence company will distribute a dividend of $0.9167 per share to investors on record as of January 12.
How much will 100 STRC shares earn next week?
Holders of 100 STRC shares can expect to receive $91.67 in dividend income next week. Should the schedule remain unchanged throughout 2026, the total yearly dividend income will be just over $1,100.
However, the January 31 payment represents a 2.33% increase from the previous month, as Strategy only paid $0.8958 on December 31, 2025. This suggests the figure could increase more in the following, as that has been the trend last year as well.
Indeed, Strategy has increased the amount paid each month consistently by about 2.5% from August 2025 to January 2026, bringing it from $$0.8333 to $0.9167.
Strategy dividend overview
As is already evident, Strategy represents a somewhat aggressive dividend strategy. In addition to consistent increases, the stock has an average price recovery period of just 9.8 days.
It must be noted, however, that the forward payout ratio stands at an elevated 528.85%. This indicates that distributions currently exceed earnings and may rely on cash reserves or one-off income sources.
Despite that, the 11.00% dividend yield is likely to remain appealing to investors focused on high near-term income rather than long-term payout sustainability.
