Summary
Strive announced it will maintain its 13% annual dividend rate and declared July 2026 dividends totaling $1.0846 per share, paid daily throughout the month. While the high yield and daily payment structure may appeal to income investors, the tax treatment reveals an important underlying issue: these distributions are classified as return of capital because the company generates no earnings and profits.
For retail holders, this means dividends reduce your cost basis rather than being taxed as ordinary income—beneficial in the short term, but it also signals the company isn't profitable. Once your cost basis reaches zero, future distributions become capital gains. Non-U.S. investors avoid withholding tax, but all investors should recognize these aren't true earnings-based dividends.
Watch whether the company can sustain this 13% rate long-term without earnings. If distributions continue as return of capital indefinitely, it suggests the business model relies on returning investor capital rather than generating profits—a potential concern for long-term value.

From a U.S. federal income tax perspective, to the extent distributions on the SATA Stock are not treated as being made out of the Company's accumulated or current earnings and profits, they will be treated generally as tax-deferred recovery of capital to the extent of the investor’s tax basis (in the case of a U.S. investor) and will be treated as exempt from U.S. dividend withholding tax (in the case of a non-U.S. investor). The Company does not have any accumulated earnings and profits, and does not expect to generate current earnings and profits in the current year or the foreseeable future.
The company disclosed that dividends will likely be treated as return of capital rather than ordinary dividends for tax purposes, since it has no accumulated earnings and profits and doesn't expect to generate any in the foreseeable future. This means U.S. investors receive tax-deferred treatment (reducing cost basis) and non-U.S. investors avoid withholding tax, but it also signals the company is not generating taxable income.
