Strategy Posts Q3 Profit, S&P 500 Inclusion Now in Sight

Another quarter, another profit—Strategy's Q3 numbers just dropped, and the S&P 500 whisper mill is buzzing louder than ever.

Beating the Street Again

Strategy keeps delivering where it matters—the bottom line. While traditional finance plays catch-up, this fintech player posts consistent gains that make Wall Street veterans sweat.

The Inclusion Countdown

S&P 500 eligibility isn't just speculation anymore—it's becoming inevitable. Strategy's performance metrics now check all the boxes that index committees care about, minus the legacy baggage that drags down traditional financial institutions.

Because nothing says 'serious contender' like making old-school bankers nervously adjust their spreadsheets while pretending they saw this coming all along.

STRC Increased Dividend Rate

Beyond potential S&P 500 inclusion, Strategy increased its dividend rate on its perpetual preferred stock STRC from 10% to 10.25% and declared cash dividends payable Oct. 31, with guidance that rates will be evaluated using the five-day VWAP of STRC prior to the final trading day of each month, according to analyst Ben Werkman. STRC currently priced at $97 (within the $95 to $98.99 band), this resulted in a 25 basis point increase, and Strategy has indicated it will continue raising the rate to bring STRC closer to its $100 par value.

MSTR shares are higher by 2.9% premarket alongside a 3% rise in the price of bitcoin to $116,700.
