How it works
Strive’s SATA fund has nine full trading days remaining before its next ex-dividend date.
The ex-dividend date is a cutoff point that determines which shareholders are eligible for payments.
If an investor purchases shares on or after the ex-dividend date, they will not receive the current dividend.
It is rather typical to have a boost in buying volume on the verge of the deadline, given that investors aim to secure their position.
Strategy's debt restructuring
In the meantime, Strategy, the undisputed leader of the Bitcoin treasury race, has repurchased roughly $1.50 billion of its outstanding 0% Convertible Senior Notes due 2029.
The company will pay an estimated aggregate cash price of $1.38 billion for the repurchases.
Strategy expects to fund the repurchase using available cash reserves, proceeds from its at-the-market (ATM) equity offering program, and even proceeds from the direct sale of Bitcoin.
Leading treasury holders
Strategy currently ranks first globally with 818,869 BTC. The remainder of the top five public corporate treasuries includes Twenty One Capital (43,514 BTC), Metaplanet Inc (40,177 BTC), MARA Holdings, Inc (35,303 BTC), and Bitcoin Standard Treasury Company (30,021 BTC).
