Annex A
*****
Natalie Brunell: A couple folks asked if you could react to Strive’s announcement of the daily dividends and then can you walk us through what shareholders are being asked to vote on, specifically with strategy and why semi-monthly is the right move right now? Why can't it be daily?
Michael Saylor: I'm really excited and impressed by what Strive has accomplished. I'm thrilled to see them bringing a daily dividend digital credit instrument to market. I'm also impressed at how rapidly they did it. I think it’s quite an extraordinary thing for the space. I believe it’s actually great for them. It’s great for the Digital Credit space. It’s great for Bitcoin. It’s great for us that they're able to bring that instrument to market. It’s obviously working very very well right now. They’ve been sitting around par for the for the last week or so and so that it's working in the market. I don’t feel like we need to steal their thunder. . . .
We’re a Delaware company, they're a Nevada company. We have different corporate governance requirements than they have. We’re also 100x bigger in terms of scale. And so I think it behooves us to move forward deliberately. And right now for us going from monthly to semi-monthly is a bold and I think a very progressive step. That will play out over the course of the next four weeks. We have a shareholder vote coming up in early June. I think that will dramatically improve the performance of STRC. Once we’ve gotten to semi-monthly, then I think the market will have a daily credit instrument from Strive and a semi-monthly credit instrument from Strategy. I think it’s quite possible that the market will benefit by having the two different frequencies. I’m humble enough to know what I don’t know and I’m looking forward to seeing how the market trades STRC, how it trades SATA. If both of them reach their full potential, that's great. We’ll watch that performance and over time if it turns out that there’s overwhelming demand from our own shareholders to go to daily, then that’s something we’ll consider. But I don’t really think that we need to copy what they’ve done.

Natalie Brunell: Joel from Mississippi asks, “Is the $100 peg something Strategy is legally obligated to defend or is it more of an aspirational target?”
Michael Saylor: We don't have a legal obligation under the security itself, but it is the Company’s number one business objective. So the way to understand it is we have about an $80 billion enterprise and if you were to ask what is the number one thing that we want to ensure month by month, quarter by quarter, it’s we want to ensure the stability of STRC around $100. If STRC doesn’t hit the $100 peg each month, then the Company's going to take action in order to strengthen it. And we’ve shown ourselves wanting do it. We raised the dividend, was it six times in a row or five? How many times, Phong? It was many times. We raised the dividend multiple times. We
raised billions of dollars of capital and bought bitcoin with it. We raised billions of dollars of capital and we put in a US dollar reserve. We have just bought back $1.5 billion dollars of debt which is senior to STRC. So we will restructure the capital structure. We will raise capital. We will adjust the dividend. We went and put a presentation or proposal in front of our shareholders to double the frequency of the dividend. So all of those things I just named are all in pursuit of stability around the $100 target. So you can think of it as a business objective and you could almost view it as that’s the reason that the Company is here. Like that is the primary KPI for Strategy; to stabilize and make the Digital Credit successful.

Natalie Brunell: By far the most repeated question across all audience submissions was, “Would Strategy consider shifting Strife, Strike, and Stride from quarterly to monthly dividends?”
Phong Le: You know what’s interesting, when we sat and thought about what proposals we wanted to take to our common and preferred shareholders in our June shareholder meeting, we had considered modifying all of our preferreds—Stretch, Stride, Strife, Strike—to more frequent dividends, whether that be semi-monthly or monthly. And we ultimately made the decision that we wanted to focus on Stretch first because it’s the primary, and making changes to the others, although beneficial to the others, could be distracting and we might not be clear enough to get the vote for Stretch. And with that as the backdrop, we want to improve Stretch first and foremost because it’s the most innovative and is the largest product. Doesn’t mean that we don’t care about the other ones, right. They’re our other children, but we want to get Stretch working as well as possible and then turn to the other ones.
*****
Natalie Brunell: I know that there’s a big vote coming up. You probably want to talk a little bit about that. So, Phong, we'll start with you.
Phong Le: . . . . We do have a vote coming up June 8th for Stretch to move from monthly to semi-monthly dividends. We think it’s a very obvious vote. It’ll increase the liquidity and decrease the volatility of the instrument, but get out there and vote if you haven’t.
