CEO pushes STRC stock as a 'monthly salary' despite dividend risks
Phong Le, CEO of Strategy, has been promoting STRC stock as a way to fund daily living costs. He described the company’s variable dividends as a reliable income source, similar to a monthly salary. His comments come despite warnings that payouts are not guaranteed and could be reduced or halted at any time. Le personally invested $250,000 in STRC shares. He argued that the stock’s 11.5% variable dividend offers better returns than paying off his 1.75% 30-year mortgage. According to him, the payouts help cover everyday expenses for investors.
The CEO’s approach mirrors past remarks by Michael Saylor, who advocated using leverage to buy Bitcoin. But Le framed STRC as a yield-focused alternative. He also claimed that around 80% of STRC holders are retail investors relying on the dividends for regular bills. Strategy’s official materials, however, state that cash dividends are not fixed. The board retains the right to suspend payments entirely, depending on company performance.
Le’s promotion of STRC as a steady income stream contrasts with the company’s own disclosures. The stock’s dividends remain variable and subject to change. Investors relying on them for expenses face potential risks if payouts are reduced or stopped.
