The bitcoin-focused firm has planned to pay a stock dividend to the holders of MicroStrategy’s class A and class B common stock as of the close of business on August 1, 2024, the record date for the dividend, to effect the stock split. 
As a result of the dividend, the holders of nine extra shares of class A common stock and nine additional shares of class B common stock, respectively, will be awarded to each shareholder of class A and class B common stock.&nbsp; 
These extra shares will be allocated after the market closes on August 7, 2024, and trading on a split-adjusted basis will start on August 8, 2024, when the market opens. The stock dividend unaffected existing shareholders’ voting rights and other rights.
