Peter Schiff Asks Michael Saylor What’s Funding Dividend Payouts On Strategy’s Preferred Stock: ‘MSTR Is Losing Money’
Posted On January 30, 2026
Economist Peter Schiff questioned on Thursday how Strategy Inc. (NASDAQ:MSTR) can sustain the 11% dividend payout on its Perpetual Stretch Preferred Stock (NASDAQ:STRC), citing the company’s ongoing financial challenges.
Saylor Says SRTC Providing Yield With Less Volatility
It all started when Strategy founder Michael Saylor took to X, highlighting how the Bitcoin-backed preferred stock delivered 11% annual dividend, paid monthly in cash.
Saylor attached a chart showing STRC’s 6% historical volatility, significantly lower than the Strategy’s Class A shares and the iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (NASDAQ:IBIT), the world’s largest Bitcoin exchange-traded fund.
“STRC delivers the first 11% of BTC ARR with ~85% of the volatility engineered out,” Saylor wrote.
