Tysons Corner, VA, May 26, 2026 – Strategy Inc (Nasdaq: STRF/STRC/STRK/STRD/MSTR, LuxSE: STRE) announced today that it has completed a range of capital markets and Bitcoin transactions that occurred between May 11 and May 25, 2026. This includes the previously mentioned buyback of $1.5 billion of the Company’s 0% Convertible Senior Notes due in 2029 (2029 Notes), funded by cash reserves, as well as sales of digital equity (MSTR) and digital credit (STRC) through its open-to-market program.

The company intends to replenish its USD reserves gradually, in line with market dynamics.

- Outstanding convertible notes reduced from $8.2 billion to $6.7 billion.
- Issued an additional $2 billion in floating rate Series A Perpetual Stretch Preferred Stock (STRC) and $84 million in Class A Common Stock (MSTR), using the proceeds to acquire 24,869 Bitcoins.
- The year-to-date BTC yield stands at 13.3%, with profits of 89,378 Bitcoin and a dollar profit of $6.8 billion.
“These transactions illustrate the flexibility built into Strategy’s capital structure and our dynamic approach to capital allocation,” remarked Michael Saylor, founder and executive chairman of Strategy. “We have the ability to fund strategic initiatives using cash, digital equity, digital credit, or digital capital, which helps in optimizing our balance sheet in response to market conditions. Our long-term goal remains focused on increasing Bitcoin per share for our common shareholders while maintaining a robust balance sheet for our digital credit investors.”
“During our Q1 2026 earnings call, we committed to actively managing our convertible debt and utilizing all available capital management tools, including strategic Bitcoin sales. This recent transaction demonstrates that commitment,” said Von Leh, President and CEO of Strategy. “We redeemed $1.5 billion in convertible notes and secured $1.38 billion in cash. Year-to-date, we have achieved a BTC yield of 13.3%. These actions underscore our ongoing emphasis on disciplined capital allocation.”
“The repurchase of the 2029 convertible shares is beneficial for both equity and credit stakes of our investors and shows our continued focus on managing debt,” according to Andrew Kang, Chief Financial Officer of Strategy. “To maintain the credit quality of our digital securities, we are dedicated to keeping strong cash reserves and aim to replenish them steadily through various sales based on market conditions.”

U.S. Dollar Reserve Update
On December 1, 2025, Strategy disclosed the establishment of a U.S. dollar reserve (the “USD Reserve”), a specifically designated part of Strategy’s liquidity intended to facilitate payments for dividends on preferred stock and interest on outstanding debt.
As of May 25, 2026, the balance of our U.S. dollar reserve stood at $871 million.
Treatment of Capital Return
Strategy posits that there is no cumulative income and profit for U.S. federal income tax (“E&P”) purposes and doesn’t foresee generating current E&P in the near term. Consequently, the company anticipates that distributions on preferred stock will continue to be classified as tax-free returns on capital (“ROC”).
Specific taxpayers might benefit from particular tax considerations influenced by their unique situations. It is advised that stockholders consult their tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal, state, local, and international tax implications linked to these distributions. The company’s expectations for E&P may alter, which could impact the taxation of distributions.
