Stratige's STRC preferred stock has increased its dividends again. This time, they raised it by 25 basis points, bringing it up to 11.5%. Since its launch in July 2025, this is already the seventh dividend increase, so it seems to be happening quite frequently.

STRC is moving steadily around $100 , while, in stark contrast, MSTR has been swept up in Bitcoin's weakness and dropped 14% in February. Even as Bitcoin has fallen about 20%, MSTR has declined even more. It has now recorded a monthly decline for eight consecutive months, indicating a really tough period.

Unlike STRC, which aims for stable income through dividends, MSTR clearly shows that it is directly exposed to cryptocurrency price volatility. Although they are assets of the same company, their profit structures are completely different, so investors are likely to have differing preferences.
