Strive Proposes Daily Dividends for Digital Credit Securities

Strive Asset Management is proposing to move several of its digital credit securities to a daily dividend payout schedule, a shift aimed at enhancing their appeal for retail investors and on-chain finance protocols.

The firm’s board has proposed applying the daily dividend model, already used for its SATA security, to four other securities: STRC, STRF, STRK, and STRD. The change, which requires shareholder approval at a special meeting on October 28, would not alter the total annual dividend economics but would accelerate the cash payment cadence. The move is seen as an effort to make securities like STRC more attractive after it traded below its $100 stated value for much of the summer.

From a technical perspective, daily dividends better align with the high-frequency yield accrual common in DeFi. This reduces cash flow mismatches for protocols, tokenized securities, and yield products built on top of these digital credit assets, simplifying liquidity management. For retail investors, the strategy offers a psychological and experiential benefit, providing tangible, daily cash flow that can be spent or reinvested.

The shift could also impact options markets by spreading dividend adjustments across smaller, daily price moves, potentially reducing volatility. The broader test for Strive will be whether this product design generates sufficient demand to eventually lower the dividend yield, reducing the firm’s cost of capital while maintaining price stability for the securities.
