Strategy's stock price recorded its first monthly gain in nine months, and the STRC dividend yield is expected to remain at 11.5% in May.

CoinFeed reported on May 1st that, according to CoinDesk, Strategy's common stock closed at $165 in April, a 33% increase for the month, marking its first monthly gain in nine months. This followed an eight-month losing streak from August 2025 to March 2026, with a cumulative decline of 75%. Furthermore, Strategy announced that its perpetual preferred stock, Stretch (STRC), will maintain its dividend yield at 11.5% in May, marking the third consecutive month at this level. Trading data shows that STRC's volume-weighted average price (VWAP) in April was $99.76, close to its $100 par value. Having remained below par since April 15th, the market anticipates it may return to around $100 next week, hence the unchanged dividend yield.
