Key Takeaways:
Strive Inc. said its SATA preferred stock will become the first U.S.-listed security to pay daily cash dividends beginning June 16, 2026, offering an effective annual yield of 13.88 percent.
"SATA will be the first listed security in the history of U.S. capital markets to pay cash dividends every single Business Day," Matthew Cole, chairman and CEO of Strive, said in a statement.
The company’s Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Preferred Stock (NASDAQ: SATA) will maintain its 13.00% annual dividend rate, but the payment frequency will shift from monthly to approximately 250 times per year. The more frequent compounding boosts the effective yield to 13.88%, according to an investor presentation.
Shares of Strive (NASDAQ: ASST) jumped more than 5% to $17.60 on the news. The daily dividend structure is a "zero-to-one innovation" that positions Strive as "The Daily Dividend Company," Cole added, separating its strategy from other public bitcoin treasury companies.
The announcement came alongside an update on Strive's bitcoin treasury. The company acquired 6,001 bitcoin during the first quarter and held a total of 15,009 bitcoin as of May 12, making it the ninth-largest corporate holder.
Strive reported a GAAP net loss of $265.9 million for the first quarter, primarily due to a $295.8 million decline in the fair-market value of its bitcoin holdings. The company also announced it had repurchased all outstanding long-term notes and now holds a debt-free balance sheet with $87.6 million in cash and cash equivalents.
The shift to daily payments provides investors with a high-frequency income stream, a novel feature in public markets that could attract significant capital. Investors will watch the adoption of SATA and its impact on the stock's trading volume after the structure goes live on June 16.
