Dividend Rate on Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Stretch Preferred Stock

On August 31, 2026, Strategy Inc (the “Company”) announced that it will maintain the regular dividend rate per annum on the Company’s Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Stretch Preferred Stock (“STRC”) effective for semi-monthly periods commencing on or after September 16, 2026 at 12.00%. The Company 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. As previously announced, management will recommend to the board of directors that the Company maintain STRC’s regular dividend rate per annum at 12.00% until STRC has demonstrated sustained, healthy trading near $100 per share.

Cash Dividend Declaration

On August 31, 2026, the Company’s board of directors declared (i) quarterly cash dividends on STRF, STRE, STRK and STRD and a semi-monthly cash dividend on STRC, each payable on September 30, 2026 (or, if such day is not a business day, the next business day) to stockholders of record as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, or, in the case of STRE, as of 5:00 p.m., London time, on September 15, 2026, and (ii) a semi-monthly cash dividend on STRC, payable on October 15, 2026 to stockholders of record as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time on September 30, 2026, in each case as summarized in the table below.

Expected Tax Treatment

As of September 1, 2026, the Company expects that the dividends payable on September 30, 2026, and October 15, 2026, will be characterized as non-taxable returns of capital to the extent of a shareholder’s tax basis in their applicable preferred 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.
