Strategy (ISIN US5949724083) stood at USD 160.01 on Nasdaq on October 2, 2026, down 0.31 percent from USD 160.50. The company is keeping its STRC preferred-stock dividend rate at 12.00 percent from October 16, 2026, according to StockTitan citing the September 30, 2026 filing.

Dividend rate meets an October vote

The 12.00 percent annual rate applies to semi-monthly STRC periods beginning October 16, 2026, with a USD 0.50 dividend declared for each period ending October 31 and November 15, 2026, according to StockTitan.

Strategy has scheduled a special stockholder meeting for October 28, 2026, to consider amendments that could create daily dividend record dates for several preferred securities. The proposal links the financing structure more closely to the company stock and preferred markets.

Q2 revenue grew as losses widened

Strategy's second-quarter 2026 revenue increased 6.9 percent year over year to USD 122.4 million, while subscription revenue rose 54 percent to USD 62.9 million, according to Yahoo Finance. Gross margin narrowed to 66.6 percent from 68.8 percent, showing that operating growth did not offset the quarter's wider pressure.

The company reported a Q2 net loss of USD 8.2 billion, or USD 24.45 per diluted share, compared with net income of USD 10.0 billion in Q2 2025. The swing reflected an USD 8.3 billion unrealized digital-asset loss, while Strategy's Bitcoin holdings reached 846,000 coins during the quarter, according to Yahoo Finance.

Analyst targets remain above the quote

MarketBeat reports a Moderate Buy consensus from 18 analysts, with 13 Buy, 2 Strong Buy, 2 Hold and 1 Sell ratings. The average target is USD 258.00, with a USD 160.00 low and USD 473.00 high, putting the average target 61.24 percent above the October 2 price of USD 160.01.

The same overview lists Citigroup raising its target from USD 136.00 to USD 240.00 on October 2, 2026. That gap highlights the central valuation question for Strategy stock: Bitcoin exposure can amplify gains, but the Q2 loss shows how quickly digital-asset swings can reshape reported earnings.

Strategy stock stays below its yearly high

Strategy stock stood at USD 160.01 on Nasdaq on October 2, 2026, with a session high of USD 170.17 and a session low of USD 155.89. Its 52-week range was USD 81.81 to USD 365.21, leaving the share price below the yearly high while the dividend vote and Bitcoin treasury remain the main company-specific markers.
