MSTR, ASST Stocks Rally – Michael Saylor Calls Strive’s SATA Daily Dividend Plan ‘Impressive’ Amid Push For Semi-Monthly STRC Payouts

• Strive said SATA will become the first security to distribute daily dividends to shareholders.
• The announcement was made alongside its first quarter earnings results, which missed market expectations on both revenues and earnings per share.
• MSTR executive chairman Michael Saylor’s comments come after Strategy opened up a proposal to payout dividends twice a month for a shareholder vote earlier this week.

Strategy (MSTR) executive chairman Michael Saylor on Thursday praised Vivek Ramaswamy-backed Strive (ASST) for announcing daily divides for its Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Preferred Stock (SATA).

“Impressive,” Saylor said on X, congratulating Strive and CEO Michael Cole. SATA will be the first security in history to pay daily dividends. The company said payments will initiate on June 16 and that annual percentage rate (APR) will stay at 13% through June 2026. 

Saylor’s comments come after he proposed earlier this week that MSTR should pay out dividends on Strategy's Variable Rate Series A Perpetual ‘Stretch’ Preferred Stock (STRC) twice a month from its current cadence of once a month. The vote is open to Strategy shareholders till June 8. The company said it plans to start paying out dividends on the new cycle on July 15, if the vote passes.
