Michael Saylor just made a bold claim ” Strategy Dividends “. His company, Strategy Inc, can pay dividends indefinitely with just 2.3% annual Bitcoin appreciation.
Why? Because the firm holds 818,334 BTC in its corporate treasury. At current prices, that equals an unrealized profit of more than $4.5 billion.
Strategy dividends need only 2.3% Bitcoin growth forever
On May 7, Strategy posted on X. The company stated that Bitcoin sales can fund its dividends forever if Bitcoin’s annualized rate of return (ARR) is just 2.3%. This assumes the capital structure remains unchanged.
Saylor confirmed this capability. He said the company can pay dividends indefinitely.
In fact, even with zero Bitcoin growth, Strategy can still pay dividends for 43 years. It would simply sell small portions of its Bitcoin holdings.
This shows that Strategy can leverage its massive Bitcoin treasury for perpetual dividend payments.
As we reported, Saylor proposed selling some Bitcoin to fund dividends. At the same time, the digital asset treasury would continue expanding over time.
So far, Strategy has acquired 818,334 BTC for $61.81 billion . At the current Bitcoin price, those holdings are worth $66.34 billion. That gives the company an unrealized profit of nearly $4.5 billion.
MSTR stock slips further amid Bitcoin fall
However, Saylor’s pivot has caused some turbulence. He moved from a “never sell” stance to considering selling some Bitcoin. As a result, both MSTR stock and Bitcoin price dropped.
This comes after Strategy reported a net loss of $12.54 billion in Q1 2026.
MSTR stock closed 0.043% lower at $186.82 on Wednesday. Earlier, it had fallen and the high was $188.26.
Meanwhile, Bitcoin price slumped below $81,000. The US equity market, however, saw a new high . Bitcoin’s 24-Hour low was $80,741, and the high was $82,792. Trading volume increased slightly by 1% over the last 24 hours.
Traders shift focus as Peter Schiff attacks again
According to 10x Research, crypto equities rallied 36% in just two weeks. Now, traders are likely shifting back to the stock market. Why? Because they hope for a US-Iran peace deal.
In the meantime, Peter Schiff attacked Michael Saylor again. He said Saylor would “suspend the dividend and crash STRC rather than crash Bitcoin.”
Schiff added that soaring deficits, a falling US dollar, rising inflation, and eroding confidence in US fiscal policy will continue to push long-term bond yields higher.
