SATA Is Moving to Daily Dividends
Strive has announced that SATA will become the first listed security in US capital markets history to pay daily dividends — 13% annualized, paid every business day instead of monthly. The transition begins June 16, 2026, after the final monthly payment on June 15. Daily compounding increases the effective APY by ~7.6 bps, and shareholders will receive ~250 payments per year instead of 12. Strive has also retired all remaining debt, making it a preferred-equity-only balance sheet. This calculator will be updated once daily dividends go live.
What Is SATA?
SATA — Strive's Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Preferred Stock — is a publicly traded preferred stock issued by Strive, Inc. (Nasdaq: ASST). It trades on Nasdaq near a $100 par value and pays a monthly cash dividend (transitioning to daily in June 2026), currently set at a 13% annual rate. Learn more about what SATA is and how it works.
Strive uses the capital raised from selling SATA shares to buy Bitcoin for its corporate treasury. Like Strategy's STRC, the dividend rate adjusts to keep the share price anchored around $100:
How Does SATA Compare to STRC?
SATA and STRC are structurally almost identical — both are variable-rate perpetual preferred stocks backed by Bitcoin treasuries, paying monthly cash dividends classified as return of capital. The key differences are scale, liquidity, and yield:
Some investors hold both SATA and STRC to diversify single-issuer risk while increasing overall portfolio yield.
How Are SATA Dividends Taxed?
Like STRC, SATA dividends are classified as return of capital (ROC) for US tax purposes. You don't owe income tax when you receive them — each payment reduces your cost basis in the shares.
Once your basis reaches $0, subsequent dividends become taxable at your long-term capital gains rate rather than ordinary income rates. This deferred treatment makes the tax-equivalent yield significantly higher than the stated rate:
For an investor in a 15% capital gains bracket, a 13% SATA yield is equivalent to earning 15.3% from a fully taxable investment. The ROC classification is determined year by year based on Strive's earnings and profits position.
Where Does the Yield Come From?
Bitcoin generates no cash flow on its own. The 13% yield is funded from two primary sources:
SATA sits senior to Strive's common stock (ASST) in the capital stack but junior to any future debt. Strive has retired all remaining debt and now operates a preferred-equity-only balance sheet. The structure works as long as Bitcoin appreciates faster than the 13% annual cost and capital markets remain open for new issuance.
