Strategy executive chairman Michael Saylor compared the returns of its STRC preferred stock with bitcoin’s price changes in a Nov. 14, 2026, post. His chart, using data through 4 p.m. Eastern time on Nov. 13, showed a 13.4% one-year return for STRC against a 29.8% bitcoin decline. The STRC figure included dividends but did not assume they were reinvested; over three months, bitcoin gained 8.7%, more than STRC’s 7.5% return.
By 4:26 p.m. Eastern time on Nov. 14, bitcoin was trading at $64,428, down 21.21% over one month. At that price, Strategy’s last reported bitcoin holdings were worth about $9.37 billion less than their purchase cost, an unrealized loss. STRC’s 12% annualized dividend rate can change, its payments depend on corporate funding, and its share price can move independently of bitcoin.
