How STRC income and yield work
Dividends are paid on the $100 stated amount, not on the market price. Income per share per year = rate × $100. At 12.00% that is $12.00 a year, so 1,000 shares would earn about $12,000 a year (about $1,000 a month) if every dividend is declared at that rate. Your yield depends on what you pay: yield = (rate × $100) ÷ your price. At a $100 price the yield equals the rate; above $100 it is lower, below $100 higher. The delayed price above is TradingView's; we don't calculate a yield from it.

Tax
For US holders, Strategy's Form 8937 says it expects the January 2026 STRC distribution to be a return of capital, which lowers your cost basis instead of being taxed as a dividend now. See STRC tax treatment: return of capital and STRC and SATA for non-US investors.
