TYSONS CORNER, Va., July 30, 2026 – Strategy Inc (Nasdaq: STRF/STRC/STRK/STRD/MSTR; LuxSE: STRE) (“Strategy” or the “Company”), the largest institutional holder of bitcoin and the world’s first Bitcoin Treasury Company, today announces financial results for the three-month period ended June 30, 2026 (the second quarter of its 2026 fiscal year).
“In the second quarter of 2026, Strategy strengthened its balance sheet while navigating a meaningful bitcoin price decline. We grew our bitcoin holdings by 11% to 846,000 bitcoin, reduced our convertible debt by 18% to $6.7 billion, increased our USD Reserve by 12% to $2.4 billion, and grew Bitcoin Per Share by 5%. Our objective is for STRC to trade over time at $99 to $100. If STRC trades below $100, we intend to repurchase STRC shares in a regular and disciplined manner, scaling our repurchases according to market price and liquidity. These repurchases are an attractive use of capital that reduces our future preferred dividend requirements at a discount while allowing independent market demand to establish a healthy and sustainable market,” said Phong Le, President and Chief Executive Officer.
“Strategy's USD Reserve currently stands at $3.75 billion, which is enough to cover our existing preferred dividend payments and interest obligations for more than 2.1 years. We've also built a track record of 18 months of consecutive dividend payments, having never missed a dividend despite the recent deep drawdown in bitcoin price. To give investors clearer transparency into our credit quality and equity strength, we've introduced a set of enhanced metrics, now available on strategy.com. Our BTC Hurdle ARR of 10.8% represents our current effective cost of credit. If BTC ARR is above this
rate, Net BTC Per Share captures a positive spread and appreciates faster than bitcoin on a go-forward basis,” said Andrew Kang, Chief Financial Officer.
“In the midst of this phase of muted bitcoin sentiment and market skepticism, we continue to evolve our business model and establish Digital Credit as a new asset class. Our plan is to return STRC to health with stable demand, high liquidity, and low volatility trading near par. We believe this is the best way to create shareholder value over the long term,” said Michael Saylor, Founder and Executive Chairman.

ROC Dividend Guidance
Strategy believes that it will not have any accumulated earnings & profits for U.S. federal income tax purposes (“E&P”), and does not expect to generate current E&P in the current year or the foreseeable future. Based on these expectations, Strategy expects the distributions paid on its preferred equity instruments to be treated as non-taxable return of capital ("ROC") for the foreseeable future (i.e., ten years or more).
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 any of these distributions. Strategy’s expectations on E&P may change, and any such change could affect the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the distributions.
Strategy Dashboard
Strategy 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 KPI metrics and other supplemental information, and as one means of disclosing non-public information in compliance with its disclosure obligations under Regulation FD.

Important Information About KPIs
The Company seeks to acquire bitcoin in a manner it believes to be accretive to common stockholders. To assess achievement of this strategy, the Company monitors and reviews the following Key Performance Indicators (“KPIs”):
▪Bitcoin Per Share (in Sats) (or BPS (in Sats)) represents the ratio between the Company’s gross bitcoin holdings and its Assumed Diluted Shares Outstanding, expressed in terms of “Satoshis” or “Sats”, where:
▪“Assumed Diluted Shares Outstanding” refers to the aggregate of the Company’s Basic Shares Outstanding as of the dates presented plus all additional shares that would result from the assumed conversion of all outstanding convertible notes and convertible preferred stock, exercise of all outstanding stock option awards, and settlement of all outstanding restricted stock units and performance stock units as of such dates. Assumed Diluted Shares Outstanding is not calculated using the treasury method, incorporates approximate forfeitures of awards in the current period which may be subject to future adjustment and does not take into account any vesting conditions (in the case of equity awards), the exercise price of any stock option awards or any contractual conditions limiting convertibility of convertible debt instruments.
▪“Basic Shares Outstanding” reflects the actual class A common stock and class B common stock outstanding as of the dates presented. For purposes of this calculation, outstanding shares of such stock are deemed to include shares, if any, that (A) were sold under at-the-market equity offering programs, or (B) were issued pursuant to (i) options that had been exercised, (ii) restricted stock units that have vested or (iii) conversion requests received with respect to convertible securities, but which in each case were pending issuance as of the dates presented.
▪A “Satoshi” or a “Sat” is one one-hundred-millionth of one bitcoin, currently the smallest indivisible unit of a bitcoin.
▪BTC Yield represents the percentage change in BPS (in Sats) from the beginning of a period to the end of a period.
▪BTC Gain represents the gross number of bitcoins held by the Company at the beginning of a period multiplied by the BTC Yield for such period.
▪BTC $ Gain represents the dollar value of the BTC Gain calculated by multiplying the BTC Gain by the market price of bitcoin as reported on the Coinbase exchange as of the applicable measurement time.
For determining BTC $ Gain quarter to date and year to date, unless otherwise specified, the Company uses the current market price of bitcoin as reported on the Coinbase exchange as of the applicable measurement time. For determining BTC $ Gain for a past fiscal year or other past period, the Company uses the market price of bitcoin as of 4:00pm ET as reported on the Coinbase exchange on the last day of the applicable period, unless stated otherwise. The Company uses these market prices of bitcoin for these calculations solely for the purpose of facilitating these illustrative calculations.
The Company uses BPS (in Sats), BTC Yield, BTC Gain and BTC $ Gain as KPIs to help assess the performance of its strategy of acquiring bitcoin in a manner it believes to be accretive to shareholders. The Company also believes these KPIs can supplement investors’ understanding of how the Company chooses to fund bitcoin purchases and the value created in a period:
▪BPS (in Sats) measures the ratio of the Company’s gross bitcoin holdings to Assumed Diluted Shares Outstanding, which provides management and investors a baseline with which to assess the Company’s achievement of its strategy of acquiring bitcoin in an accretive manner over a given period. When evaluating a capital raise transaction, the Company reviews this metric and considers the impact such transaction will have on this ratio on a pro forma basis. This metric forms the baseline for the Company’s BTC Yield, BTC Gain and BTC $ Gain KPIs, which present changes in BPS (in Sats) from the beginning of a period to the end of the period in different formats.
▪BTC Yield measures the percentage change in BPS (in Sats) from the beginning of a period to the end of a period, which helps management and investors assess how the Company’s achievement of its strategy of acquiring bitcoin in an accretive manner varies across periods. The Company uses BTC Yield to evaluate whether its capital markets activity and bitcoin acquisition strategy has resulted in gross per-share accretion (or dilution) on an Assumed Diluted Shares Outstanding basis over an applicable period, and to compare the impact of its strategy across periods.
▪BTC Gain hypothetically expresses the percentage change reflected in the BTC Yield metric as if it reflected an increase in the amount of bitcoin held at the end of the applicable period as compared to the beginning of such period, which provides management and investors with visibility into the absolute change in the Company’s bitcoin holdings resulting from the Company’s BTC Yield. The Company uses BTC Gain to measure the accretive or dilutive impact of the change in BPS (in Sats) over an applicable period in absolute terms relative to the Company’s bitcoin holdings. This metric can be particularly helpful when comparing the execution of the Company’s capital markets strategy across periods, as BTC Yield may be lower when the Company’s bitcoin asset base is larger, but result in the same BTC Gain. For example, a 10% BTC Yield with a starting amount of 100,000 bitcoin will result in 10,000 BTC Gain, which is the same BTC Gain that would result from 5% BTC Yield with a starting amount of 200,000 bitcoin.
▪BTC $ Gain further expresses the percentage change reflected in the BTC Yield metric as an illustrative dollar value by multiplying that bitcoin-denominated change by the market price of bitcoin at the end of the applicable period as described above. The Company refers to this metric for illustrative purposes to consider the magnitude of the Company’s BTC Gain for an applicable period with reference to the market price of bitcoin as of the end of an applicable period.
When the Company presents these KPIs for any period (a "measurement period") that is a subdivision of a longer specified period (the “reference period”), (i) BTC Yield is calculated as the BTC Yield for the period from the beginning of the reference period to the end of the measurement period, less the BTC Yield for the period from the beginning of the reference period to the beginning of the measurement period, (ii) BTC Gain is calculated using the BTC Yield for the measurement period and the Company’s bitcoin holdings at the beginning of the reference period rather than at the beginning of the measurement period, and (iii) BTC $ Gain is calculated by multiplying such revised BTC Gain by the market price of bitcoin at the end of the measurement period. When the Company presents these metrics for an interim period within a fiscal year (e.g., a monthly, quarterly, or quarter-to-date period), then the reference period is that fiscal year, unless stated otherwise.
For example, if BPS (in Sats) is 100 at the beginning of a fiscal year (the reference period), 110 at the end of the first quarter and 125 at the end of the second quarter, the BTC Yield for the second quarter (the applicable measurement period) is calculated as (125/100 − 1) less (110/100 − 1), or 15%—reflecting the 15-point BPS (in Sats) increase from 110 to 125 expressed against the reference period starting BPS (in Sats) of 100. The sum of the first quarter BTC Yield (10%) and the second quarter BTC Yield (15%) equals the year-to-date BTC Yield of 25% (125/100 − 1).
When management uses these metrics, management takes into account the various limitations of these metrics. With respect to BPS (in Sats), BTC Yield, BTC Gain and BTC $ Gain, these include that they:
▪do not take into account that the Company’s assets, including its bitcoin, are subject to (i) all of the Company’s existing and future liabilities, including its debt, and (ii) the preferential rights of the Company’s preferred stockholders to dividends and the Company’s assets in a liquidation, and that all such claims rank senior to those of the Company’s common equity; therefore holders of such excluded instruments may have claims on the Company’s assets (including bitcoin) senior to those of holders of common stock in the event of the Company’s liquidation, and as a result the additional bitcoin acquired using proceeds from the sale of such instruments may not accrete to common stockholders; and
▪assume that all indebtedness will be refinanced or, in the case of the Company’s senior convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock, converted into shares of class A common stock in accordance with their respective terms.
Different assumptions would produce materially different results, and these KPIs may overstate or understate the Company’s bitcoin after accounting for senior claims (net of the Company’s USD Reserve).
BPS (in Sats), BTC Yield, BTC Gain and BTC $ Gain are not, and should not be understood as, financial performance, valuation or liquidity measures. Specifically:
▪BPS (in Sats) does not represent (i) the ability of the Company to satisfy the Company’s financial obligations, or (ii) the Company’s book value per share.
▪BTC Yield is not equivalent to “yield” in the traditional financial context. It is not a measure of the return on investment the Company’s shareholders may have achieved historically or can achieve in the future by purchasing stock of the Company, or a measure of income generated by the Company’s operations or its bitcoin holdings, return on investment on its bitcoin holdings, or any other similar financial measure of the performance of its business or assets.
▪BTC Gain and BTC $ Gain are not equivalent to “gain” in the traditional financial context. They also are not measures of the return on investment the Company’s shareholders may have achieved historically or can achieve in the future by purchasing stock of the Company, or measures of income generated by the Company’s operations or its bitcoin holdings, return on investment on its bitcoin holdings, or any other similar financial measure of the performance of its business or assets. It should also be understood that BTC $ Gain does not represent a fair value gain of the Company’s bitcoin holdings, and BTC $ Gain may be positive during periods when the Company has incurred fair value losses on its bitcoin holdings.
The trading price of the Company’s class A common stock is informed by numerous factors in addition to the Company’s bitcoin holdings and its actual or potential shares of common stock outstanding, and as a result, the trading price of the Company’s securities can deviate significantly from the fair market value of the Company’s bitcoin, and none of BPS (in Sats), BTC Yield, BTC Gain or BTC $ Gain are indicative or predictive of the trading price of the Company’s securities.
Investors should rely on the financial statements and other disclosures contained in the Company’s SEC filings. In particular, the Company has adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-08, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Crypto Assets (Subtopic 350-60): Accounting for and Disclosure of Crypto Assets (“ASU 2023-08”), which requires that the Company measure its bitcoin at fair value in its statement of financial position as of the end of a reported period, and recognize gains and losses from changes in the fair value in net income (loss) for the reported period. As a result, the Company may incur unrealized gain or loss on digital assets based on changes in the market price of bitcoin during a period, which would not be reflected in BPS (in Sats), BTC Yield, BTC Gain or BTC $ Gain. For example, if the Company increases its bitcoin holdings relative to Assumed Diluted Shares Outstanding during a reported period, the Company would achieve increased BPS (in Sats) and positive BTC Yield, BTC Gain and BTC $ Gain even if the Company reports significant unrealized loss on digital assets for the period. Similarly, if the Company increases Assumed Diluted Shares Outstanding at a faster rate than its bitcoin holdings, then the Company would experience decreased BPS (in Sats) and negative BTC Yield, BTC Gain, and BTC $ Gain, even if the Company reports significant unrealized gain on digital assets for the period.
As noted above, these KPIs are narrow in their purpose and are used by management to assist it in assessing whether the Company is raising and deploying capital in a manner accretive to shareholders solely as it pertains to its bitcoin holdings. References to a transaction, or to the Company’s capital deployment, being “accretive” or “dilutive” refer only to the effect on the specified KPI under the stated assumptions, and do not mean that the transaction is accretive or dilutive to the Company’s earnings, cash flow, book value, enterprise value, intrinsic value, or the trading price of the Company’s securities.
In calculating BPS (in Sats), BTC Yield, BTC Gain, and BTC $ Gain, the Company does not consider the source of capital used for the acquisition of its bitcoin. When the Company purchases bitcoin using proceeds from offerings of non-convertible notes or non-convertible preferred stock, or convertible notes or preferred stock that carry conversion prices above the current trading price of the Company's common stock or conversion rights that are not then exercisable, such transactions have the effect of increasing the BPS (in Sats), BTC Yield, BTC Gain and BTC $ Gain, while also increasing the Company’s indebtedness and senior claims of holders of instruments other than class A common stock with respect to dividends and to the Company’s assets, including its bitcoin, if the Company were to liquidate, in a manner that is not reflected in these metrics.
If any of the Company’s convertible notes mature or are redeemed without being converted into common stock, or if the Company elects to redeem or repurchase its non-convertible instruments, the Company may be required to sell shares of its class A common stock or bitcoin to generate sufficient cash proceeds to satisfy those obligations, either of which would have the effect of decreasing BPS (in Sats), BTC Yield, BTC Gain and BTC $ Gain, and adjustments for such decreases are not contemplated by the assumptions made in calculating these metrics. Accordingly, these metrics might overstate or understate the accretive nature of the Company’s use of capital to buy bitcoin because not all bitcoin is purchased using proceeds from issuances of class A common stock, instruments that are convertible into class A common stock may be forfeited or repaid with funds other than from the sale of class A common stock in the period in question rather than being exercised for or converted into class A common stock and not all proceeds from issuances of class A common stock are used to purchase bitcoin.
In addition, the Company is required to pay dividends with respect to its perpetual preferred stock in perpetuity. The Company could pay these dividends with cash or, in the case of STRK, by issuing shares of class A common stock. The Company has issued shares of class A common stock and certain classes of its preferred stock for cash to fund the payment of cash dividends, and the Company may in the future issue shares of class A common stock in lieu of paying dividends on STRK. As a result, the Company has experienced, and may experience in the future, increases in Assumed Diluted Shares Outstanding without corresponding increases in its bitcoin holdings, resulting in decreases in BPS (in Sats), BTC Yield, BTC Gain and BTC $ Gain for the applicable periods.
The Company has historically not paid any dividends on its shares of class A common stock, and by presenting these KPIs the Company makes no suggestion that it intends to do so in the future. Ownership of the Company’s securities, including its class A common stock and preferred stock, does not represent an ownership interest in, or a redemption right with respect to, the bitcoin the Company holds.
The Company determines its KPI targets based on its history and future goals. The Company’s ability to maintain any given level of BPS (in Sats), or achieve positive BTC Yield, BTC Gain, or BTC $ Gain may depend on a variety of factors, including factors outside of its control, such as the price of bitcoin, and the availability of debt and equity financing on favorable terms. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
These KPIs are merely supplements, not substitutes to the financial statements and other disclosures contained in the Company’s SEC filings. They should be used only by sophisticated investors who understand their limited purpose and many limitations.
Change in Method of Calculating KPIs for Interim Periods
Effective January 1, 2026, the Company changed the method by which it calculates BTC Yield, BTC Gain and BTC $ Gain when presenting such KPIs for any period that is a subdivision of a longer specified period (the “Methodology Change”), and such KPI metrics for such periods are therefore not directly comparable to those previously reported.
Nature of the Change. Under the prior methodology, BTC Yield used BPS at the beginning of the measurement period as the denominator, and BTC Gain used bitcoin holdings at the beginning of the measurement period as the multiplier. Under the updated methodology described above, BTC Yield uses BPS at the beginning of the reference period as the denominator, reduced by the BTC Yield for the period from the beginning of the reference period to the beginning of the measurement period, with BTC Gain and BTC $ Gain calculated consistently therewith.
Reason for the Change. The change improves comparability of KPI metrics across measurement periods within a reference period. Because each measurement period’s BTC Yield now reflects our per-share bitcoin accretion against a consistent baseline — BPS at the beginning of the reference period — BTC Yields for all measurement periods within a reference period are additive and sum to the BTC Yield for the reference period, providing investors with a more intuitive view of period-to-period execution of the Company's bitcoin strategy.
Effect on Previously Reported Figures. The effect of the Methodology Change on KPI figures from a prior period will be presented when such period next appears as a period-over-period comparative period. Annual KPI figures, year-to-date KPI figures, as well as KPI figures for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025, are unaffected.
Other Differences Relevant to Understanding Our Performance. Investors should note: (i) when BPS is increasing, the updated methodology will generally produce higher BTC Yield figures for subsequent measurement periods within a reference period, because the denominator does not reset to reflect per-share gains from earlier measurement periods in the reference period; and conversely, when BPS is declining, it may produce lower (more negative) figures for later measurement periods; (ii) BTC Yields under the updated methodology sum to reference period BTC Yield, whereas they did not under the prior methodology; and (iii) BTC $ Gain, because it applies each measurement period-end bitcoin price rather than reference period-end price, will not arithmetically sum to reference period BTC $ Gain.
Forward-Looking Statements
This press release may include statements that may constitute “forward-looking statements,” including estimates of future business prospects, including statements relating to corporate objectives with respect to the trading price of the Company’s Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Stretch Preferred Stock and KPI targets, statements relating to the Company's expectation regarding the tax-deferred return of capital treatment of distributions on its preferred stock, and statements containing the words “believe,” “estimate,” “project,” “expect,” “will,” or similar expressions. Forward-looking statements inherently involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results of Strategy Inc and its subsidiaries (Company) to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Factors that could contribute to such differences include: fluctuations in the market price of bitcoin and any associated unrealized gains or losses on digital assets that the Company may record in its financial statements as a result of a change in the market price of bitcoin from the value at which the Company’s bitcoins are carried on its balance sheet; the availability of debt and equity financing on favorable terms; gains or losses on any sales of bitcoins; changes in the accounting treatment relating to the Company’s bitcoin holdings; changes in securities laws or other laws or regulations, or the adoption of new laws or regulations, relating to bitcoin that adversely affect the price of bitcoin or the Company’s ability to transact in or own bitcoin; changes in the Company’s tax earnings & profits that may impact return of capital tax treatment on future dividends on the Company’s preferred stock; the impact of the availability of spot exchange traded products and other investment vehicles for bitcoin and other digital assets; a decrease in liquidity in the markets in which bitcoin is traded; security breaches, cyberattacks, unauthorized access, loss of private keys, fraud or other circumstances or events that result in the loss of the Company’s bitcoins; impacts to the price and rate
of adoption of bitcoin associated with financial difficulties and bankruptcies of various participants in the digital asset industry; the level and terms of the Company’s substantial indebtedness and its ability to service such debt; the extent and timing of market acceptance of the Company’s new product offerings; continued acceptance of the Company’s other products in the marketplace; the Company’s ability to recognize revenue or deferred revenue through delivery of products or satisfactory performance of services; the timing of significant orders; delays in or the inability of the Company to develop or ship new products; customers continuing to shift from a product license model to a cloud subscription model, which may delay the Company’s ability to recognize revenue; fluctuations in tax benefits or provisions; changes in the market price of bitcoin as of period-end and their effect on our deferred tax assets, related valuation allowance, and tax expense; other potentially adverse tax consequences; competitive factors; general economic conditions, including levels of inflation and interest rates; currency fluctuations; and other risks detailed in the Company’s registration statements and periodic and current reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Company undertakes no obligation to update these forward-looking statements for revisions or changes after the date of this release.
