What Are Preferred Stocks?
Preferred stocks are a hybrid investment that combines features of both stocks and bonds. They usually offer fixed dividend payments and have priority over common stockholders in the event of liquidation.
Why Daily Dividends?
Daily dividends mean investors receive a small payout every day instead of waiting for a quarterly or yearly payment. This can provide more consistent cash flow and can be especially appealing for tokenized securities in the crypto market.
Strategy’s Current Portfolio
Strategy currently issues four series of preferred stock: STRC and three others. The company wants to align all four with a daily dividend schedule.
