Strive bumps SATA payout to 13%

More yield, same preferred stock drama

Strive said it’s nudging the monthly dividend rate on its Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Preferred Stock, aka SATA, up by 25 basis points to 13.00%, effective for periods starting April 15, 2026. In plain English: the preferred got a little more generous, which is great news if you’re hunting income and not thrilled by boring old savings accounts.

The check is in the mail

The company also declared a dividend of $1.0833 per share, payable May 15, 2026, to holders of record on May 1. That’s the part investors will actually feel in their account, and it tells you Strive is still prioritizing this preferred stack even as it juggles bigger strategic plans.

Why investors should care

Preferred dividends can be a stability signal, but they can also remind you that the capital structure matters a lot more than the hype cycle. Strive’s update lands alongside chatter about its merger plans with Semler Scientific, so the company is basically trying to do two things at once: reward preferred holders today while setting up a larger bitcoin-flavored future.

Big picture: higher yield sounds nice, but in the world of crypto-adjacent balance sheets, you usually want to read the fine print twice and then maybe once more for the road.
