Dividend Rate on Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Stretch Preferred Stock
On July 31, 2026, Strategy announced that it will maintain the regular dividend rate per annum on STRC Stock effective for semi-monthly periods commencing on or after August 16, 2026 at 12.00%. Strategy announced this rate via its website, www.strategy.com/strc. Such rate shall have no effect on any previously declared but unpaid dividends on STRC Stock. As previously announced, management does not intend to recommend to our board of directors a change from the current 12.00% per annum dividend rate for STRC Stock until STRC Stock demonstrates sustained trading at or near its $100 stated amount.
Cash Dividend Declaration
On July 31, 2026, Strategy’s board of directors declared semi-monthly cash dividends on STRC Stock, payable on August 31, 2026 to stockholders of record as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time on August 15, 2026, and payable on September 15, 2026 to stockholders of record as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time on August 31, 2026, as summarized in the table below.

(1) The cash dividend declared on STRC Stock for each semi-monthly period represents a per annum dividend rate of 12.00%.
Expected Tax Treatment
As of August 3, 2026, Strategy expects that the dividends payable on August 31, 2026, and September 15, 2026, will be characterized as non-taxable returns of capital to the extent of a shareholder’s tax basis in their STRC Stock for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Special tax considerations may apply to certain taxpayers based on their specific circumstances. Shareholders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal, state, local, and any non-U.S. tax consequences to them in connection with the receipt of distributions.
USD Reserve Update
Strategy maintains a US dollar reserve (the "USD Reserve") intended to support the payment of dividends on Strategy’s preferred stock and interest on its outstanding indebtedness.
As of August 2, 2026, the balance of the USD Reserve is $4.0 billion. This amount includes expected cash proceeds from shares sold under Strategy’s ATM that had not yet settled as of such date.
Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
Strategy Dashboard
Strategy also maintains a dashboard on its website (www.strategy.com) as a disclosure channel for providing broad, non-exclusionary distribution of information regarding Strategy to the public, including information regarding market prices of its outstanding securities, bitcoin purchases and holdings, certain key performance indicator metrics and other supplemental information, and as one means of disclosing non-public information in compliance with its disclosure obligations under Regulation FD. Investors and others are encouraged to regularly review the information that Strategy makes public via the website dashboard.
Furnished Information
The information disclosed pursuant to Item 7.01 in this Current Report on Form 8-K shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
Forward-Looking Statements
Statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K about future expectations, plans, and prospects, as well as any other statements regarding matters that are not historical facts, may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the tax-deferred return of capital treatment and dividend rate of dividends on our preferred stock, including Strategy’s Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Stretch Preferred Stock, and the payment of dividends described in this Current Report on Form 8-K. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “target,” “will,” “would,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. Actual results may differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements as a result of various important factors, including the uncertainties related to Strategy’s future results of operations, its expectation regarding the tax-deferred return of capital treatment of dividends on Strategy's preferred stock, fluctuations in tax benefits or provisions, assumptions underlying Strategy’s projections, and the other factors discussed under the caption “Risk Factors” in Strategy's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 6, 2026 and the risks described in other filings that Strategy may make with the SEC. Any forward-looking statements contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K speak only as of the date hereof, and Strategy specifically disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
