After dividend dates demand plummets, says Le
Le stated that the change is being proposed to deal with a decline in demand as investors no longer qualified for the dividend. This cooled the buying activity, and caused the new share sales to slow down.
“If we were to move forward with paying STRC to semi-monthly, we would be in category 1, the only preferred in the world that pays semi-monthly dividends. We think this is unique and this is attractive,” “He added.”
Before settling on a semi-monthly dividend schedule, the company had gone through many iterations and considered both weekly and daily record dates. According to Le, the NASDAQ, the stock exchange that lists Strategy, adheres to industry standards requiring a gap of at least ten business days between the date the dividend is declared and when it’s paid.
