Do you cash out stocks every month to pay your credit card bill, or do you pay out of your checking account? Assuming that you pay out of your checking account, I don't see where you are making any money on the float.
The $2,364 was the statement balance. Unless you aren't using the card, that'll never be zero.

As for the nuts and bolts, it doesn't really make a HUGE difference, but I pay out of a 1.5 APY savings account on the due date from the credit card company (and not before). Doing it that way is probably worth maybe $20-$30 in interest over the course of the year. Not a huge deal, but since it's easy to do, why not?
