UPLOAD OF EXCERPT OF RECORDED INTERVIEW:
On April 24, 2026, the Paul Barron Network posted to their YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/@PaulBarronNetwork) an interview with Phong Le, President and CEO of Strategy Inc (the “Company”), during which Mr. Le discussed, among other things, the Company’s 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders and certain of the proposals to be presented for shareholder consideration. A transcript of Mr. Le’s remarks regarding the foregoing during the interview is set forth below as Annex A.
Annex A
Le: It’s a perpetual preferred, you know, a preferred equity is listed on the Nasdaq or NYSE. And this happens to be perpetual, which means that there is no maturity. A normal preferred has a 3 or 5 year maturity. So it behaves it looks like an equity but it pays a dividend. The dividend we pay [on STRC] is 11.5%. We pay that monthly. We have a proposal now to pay it actually semi-monthly. So twice a month. And it’s also paid in cash and tax deferred. That’s the product.
*****
Le: There’s an interesting movement amongst traders, right. If you’re a trader, what do you want to do with one record date a month, right? And that’s the 15th of every month. You want to buy the product on the 14th, and then you want to sell it on the 15th, hold it for one day, get paid 11.5%. Right. And then for the rest of the days is whatever put it back into a T-Bill or something like that, right. So that’s the dynamic you see right here, which is why we’re proposing two record days. But look, if somebody wants to do that that’s fine too. But if you’re a typical yield starved investor and you just want yield over the long term, I would just buy it and hold it.
Barron: So you look at the potential for the semi-annual proposal. How much would this fix the volatility if you go that route?
Le: Mathematically, right, and you know there’s the difference between math and actual what people do and sentiment. And by the way this is semi-monthly. So twice a month. So from once a month to twice a month. It should drop the volatility by about 50%, right. It’s already a low volatility product sitting around 2 to 3 right now.
Barron: Yeah okay. So you think that that in general is going to be good for the overall performance. It’s going to give some more options to long-term investors as well as the short-term, you know, traders so to speak. Beyond that because I think there was one more sheet I wanted to show. So [STRC] is going to be the only equity right now with semi-monthly dividends. Is that right?
Le: Yeah, it’s pretty cool. You know, you see here in the universe of equities and before that in the universe of preferreds the vast majority, 95%, are paid quarterly. Right. Ours pays monthly. And if the shareholders approve this, when we move to semi-monthly, it’ll be the only preferred paying equity or dividend paying equity in the world that is paid semi-monthly.
