STRC Ex-Dividend Date: How It Works
The ex-dividend date is the first day a buyer no longer receives the upcoming dividend. Under the US T+1 settlement cycle it falls on the same business day as the record date — or on the prior trading day when the record date lands on a weekend, which is why some ex-dates in the table sit a day or two before the 15th.
To receive a declared dividend you must buy STRC before the ex-dividend date and still hold it at the start of that day. Selling on or after the ex-dividend date does not forfeit the payment.
Since July 2026 STRC pays semi-monthly: record dates on the 15th and the last day of each month, paid on the last day of the same month and on the 15th of the following month respectively. From the July 2025 IPO through June 2026 it paid monthly.

Frequently Asked Questions
When is the next STRC ex-dividend date?›
STRC record dates fall on the 15th and the last day of every month, and the ex-dividend date is the same business day — or the prior trading day when that date lands on a weekend. The next declared ex-dividend date is shown in the "Next STRC Dividend" card above, which updates with each declaration.
How often does STRC pay dividends?›
Twice a month — 24 payments a year. Since July 2026 STRC has paid semi-monthly, with record dates on the 15th and last day of each month and payment about two weeks later. From the July 2025 IPO through June 2026 it paid monthly.
Do I still get the dividend if I buy STRC on the record date?›
No. Under T+1 settlement a purchase on the record date settles the next business day — too late to make you a holder of record. You must buy before the ex-dividend date, which is at the latest the trading day before the record date.
How much has STRC paid out since its IPO?›
Through August 9, 2026, STRC has paid $10.92 per share in cash dividends since its July 2025 IPO — about 12.1% of the $90 IPO price returned as cash in just over a year. The running total under the table above updates with each payment.
How are STRC dividends taxed?›
Strategy has said it expects 2026 STRC dividends to be characterized as non-taxable return of capital to the extent of a holder's tax basis, rather than as ordinary dividend income. Actual treatment depends on your situation — this is not tax advice; consult a professional.
