Data Sources
Transparency matters. Here is where our data comes from.
STRC dividend rates and dates
Dividend rate announcements, ex-dividend dates, record dates, and payment dates are sourced from Strategy Inc. press releases and SEC filings (8-K, 10-Q, 10-K). These are updated manually when Strategy announces each month's rate, typically on the last business day of the prior month. Since June 30, 2026, STRC pays semi-monthly, and each announcement declares two payments at once. The current figures come from the 8-K dated September 30, 2026 (rate held at 12.00%, $0.50 payable October 31 and, unless daily dividends take effect, November 15, 2026) and the 8-K dated October 15, 2026 (conditional daily dividends for November 2026 totaling $1.00 per share at 12.00%, if stockholders approve the change at the October 28, 2026 special meeting). Ex-dates shown equal the record date, rolled back to the prior trading day when the record date falls on a weekend.
USD Reserve, bitcoin holdings, and repurchases
The USD Reserve balance, aggregate bitcoin holdings and cost basis, at-the-market capacity, and share repurchase activity are taken from Strategy's weekly 8-K filings. Current figures are as of October 25, 2026, from the 8-K filed October 26, 2026. At-the-market capacity is from the table in the 8-K filed October 19, 2026 (as of October 18, 2026) and is unchanged through October 25, 2026, because the October 26 filing reports no at-the-market sales from October 19 to 25. The bitcoin carrying value is Strategy's estimate as of September 30, 2026, from the 8-K filed October 5, 2026. STRC shares outstanding as of October 25, 2026 are derived from the filings (the prior count less each week's disclosed STRC repurchases) and cross-checked against the STRC notional shown on strategy.com/strc as of 4:00 p.m. ET on October 23, 2026. Strategy sold bitcoin in early August 2026 under the BTC Monetization Program announced June 29, 2026 and has been buying again since late August. It is repurchasing STRC under the Digital Credit Securities Repurchase Program, which was increased from $1.0 billion to $2.0 billion on September 8, 2026 and to $3.0 billion on October 19, 2026; both are disclosed weekly.
STRC live price
Real-time STRC share price is sourced from Yahoo Finance via their market data feed. Price data is cached and refreshed approximately every 15 minutes during market hours. Prices may be delayed.
Bitcoin price
Live bitcoin price is sourced from Yahoo Finance (BTC-USD) via API. Used on the Status page, Stress Test, and Coverage Depth component. Cached and refreshed approximately every 15 minutes. Falls back to the most recent price in strc.json if the API is unavailable.

1-year Treasury yields are sourced from the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Daily Treasury Yield Curve Rates, published at treasury.gov. Updated approximately every 6 hours.
S&P 500 dividend yield
The S&P 500 trailing dividend yield is derived from SPY (SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust) data via Yahoo Finance. Updated approximately every 6 hours.
Savings account and CD rates
High-yield savings account rates represent the best widely-available APY from major online banks as reported by NerdWallet and Bankrate. 1-year CD rates represent the best nationally-available 1-year certificate of deposit rate from the same sources. These are updated manually, typically at the beginning of each month alongside the STRC dividend rate update. They are intended for illustrative comparison purposes and may not reflect the exact rate available from any specific institution.
STRE and other preferred series data
Share counts, ATM capacity, and dividend rates for all five of Strategy's preferred series (STRC, STRF, STRK, STRD, STRE) are sourced from Strategy's weekly 8-K filings with the SEC. STRE is euro-denominated and trades on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange. These figures are updated weekly alongside the BTC holdings update using the weekly update script.
