Odaily reports: According to Bitfinex analysis, Strategy shareholders voted on October 28 to approve a proposal for daily dividend payments on STRC preferred stock, with preliminary results showing 99.3% of votes in favor. STRC is expected to shift from semi-monthly dividend payments to daily dividend payments starting November 1, with the first cash dividend payment arriving on November 2; Strategy's other three preferred stocks, STRF, STRK, and STRD, are expected to follow suit in January 2027.Strategy's move aims to reduce price volatility around ex-dividend dates. Company CEO Phong Le stated that previously, when STRC paid dividends monthly, prices fell by an average of about 49 basis points around the ex-dividend date, which dropped to about 36 basis points after switching to semi-monthly payments. The company expects that daily dividend payments will further disperse selling pressure and improve price stability.This model was not pioneered by Strategy. Bitcoin treasury company Strive converted its SATA preferred stock to daily dividend payments in June of this year and launched a subordinated preferred stock, SATS, with a fixed annual dividend rate of 15%. In October, Strive issued 7 million shares of SATS at $90 per share, raising approximately $630 million, and used about $511 million of that to purchase 6,182 BTC.
According to QCP Capital's market observation report, the Federal Reserve maintained the policy rate at 3.75%–4.00% with a 10-2 vote at its October meeting. Fed Chair Walsh declined to commit to a path of rate cuts or hikes for December and beyond, reiterating his opposition to forward guidance. The Fed also announced that one meeting in 2027 and two meetings in 2028 will not feature interest rate votes, serving only as discussions on policy strategy. QCP observed that fewer decision points mean more economic data will accumulate between rate decisions, potentially increasing rate volatility and pushing up term premiums. The European Central Bank and the Bank of Japan also held rates steady, while markets still expect both central banks to potentially raise rates in December. The ECB stated that prior inflation data did not trigger second-round effects, while the BoJ announced that inflation has reached its 2% target. In the tech sector, shares of Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, and Intel declined following earnings releases, as markets expressed concerns over corporate profitability and future capital expenditures, growing increasingly cautious regarding the pace and returns of investments in AI infrastructure.
