Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Strategy Inc. reported that it has released financial results for the quarter ended December 31, 2025 via a press release furnished as an exhibit, while using this filing mainly to describe policy and disclosure updates rather than detailed numbers.

The company outlined a revised, rules-based Dividend Adjustment Framework for its Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Stretch Preferred Stock (ticker STRC). Each month, management plans to recommend dividend rate changes based on the stock’s volume-weighted average price: larger increases when STRC trades below $95, smaller increases between $95 and $98.99, generally no change between $99 and $100.99, and rate decreases or potential follow-on offerings when the price is at or above $101, subject to existing caps and board approval. The framework is intended to keep STRC trading near its $100 stated amount, but the company warns this outcome is not assured and that the framework may be changed or suspended at any time.

Strategy Inc. also highlighted its online Strategy Dashboard as a regular disclosure channel for market data on its securities, bitcoin holdings and purchases, key performance indicators, and other supplemental information, noting this site is one way it provides broad public access to information under Regulation FD.

Item 2.02.                                             Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On February 5, 2026, Strategy Inc (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing the Company’s financial results for the quarter ended December 31, 2025. A copy of this press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
Item 8.01.                                             Other Events.
Updates to STRC Stock Dividend Adjustment Framework
The Company today announced an update to its Dividend Adjustment Framework applicable to its Variable Rate Perpetual Stretch Preferred Stock ("STRC Stock"). The Company is updating its rules-based monthly dividend recommendation framework for STRC Stock to evaluate dividend rates each month using the volume-weighted average price ("VWAP") of STRC Stock for the month.
The Company’s current intention, subject to change in its sole discretion, is to evaluate dividend rates each month using the VWAP of STRC Stock for the month, as follows:
Below $95.00: Recommend a dividend rate increase of 50 basis points or more for the next period.
$95.00 - $98.99: Recommend a dividend rate increase of 25 basis points or more for the next period.
$99.00 - $100.99: No change in the dividend rate is anticipated. However, management may use its discretion to recommend a minor increase or decrease of 25 basis points depending on prevailing market and capital conditions.
$101.00 and above: Recommend a dividend rate decrease of 25 basis points, or a larger decrease if one-month term SOFR interest rates declined during that month (in each case, subject to the cap on rate reductions described in the prospectus and certificate of designations for the STRC Stock), and/or a follow-on offering of STRC Stock.

All recommended dividend rate changes under this framework are subject to approval by the Company’s board of directors, and dividends will only be declared and paid when, as, and if the board of directors determines such changes are in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders. Recommendations may be adjusted to reflect prevailing market conditions at the time of recommendation. This structured approach is intended to maintain the trading price of STRC Stock near its $100 per share stated amount. There can be no assurance that the recommended dividend adjustments will achieve such intention. The Company may change or suspend this framework at any time in its sole discretion consistent with the terms of the STRC Stock.

Forward-Looking Statements




This Current Report on Form 8-K (including Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto) may include statements that may constitute “forward-looking statements,” including estimates of future business prospects or financial results, including statements regarding the recommendations that will be made to adjust dividends for our STRC Stock, statements relating to our expectation regarding the tax-deferred return of capital treatment of distributions on our 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 the 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 factors discussed under the caption “Risk Factor Updates” in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on October 6, 2025 and under the caption “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on November 3, 2025 and the risks described in other filings that the Company may make with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Any forward-looking statements contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K (including Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto) speak only as of the date hereof, and the Company specifically disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

FAQ

What did Strategy Inc. (MSTR) disclose in this 8-K filing?

Strategy Inc. disclosed quarterly results via a press release exhibit and detailed updates to its STRC preferred stock Dividend Adjustment Framework, plus reminders about its Strategy Dashboard website as an ongoing disclosure channel for market data, bitcoin holdings, and supplemental performance information under Regulation FD.

How does Strategy Inc.’s new STRC dividend adjustment framework work?

The framework uses STRC’s monthly volume-weighted average price to guide dividend recommendations. Lower prices generally trigger dividend rate increases, mid-range prices lean toward stability, and prices above $101 can prompt dividend decreases and possible follow-on offerings, all subject to board approval and existing caps on reductions.

What price ranges affect STRC preferred stock dividend recommendations?

If STRC trades below $95, Strategy Inc. intends to recommend at least a 50-basis-point dividend increase. Between $95 and $98.99, at least a 25-basis-point increase is anticipated, while prices at $101 or higher may lead to a 25-basis-point or larger dividend decrease, subject to stated limits and board approval.

Can Strategy Inc. change or suspend the STRC dividend framework?

Yes. Strategy Inc. explicitly states it may change or suspend the STRC Dividend Adjustment Framework at any time in its sole discretion, consistent with the preferred stock’s terms. All dividend changes remain subject to the board of directors determining they are in the best interests of the company and stockholders.

What is the goal of Strategy Inc.’s STRC dividend adjustment approach?

The company says the structured monthly framework is intended to help keep STRC trading near its $100 per share stated amount. However, Strategy Inc. cautions there is no assurance dividend adjustments will achieve this objective, and recommendations may be modified for prevailing market conditions.

What information is available on Strategy Inc.’s Strategy Dashboard?

The Strategy Dashboard provides broad, public access to market prices for the company’s securities, details on bitcoin purchases and holdings, certain KPI metrics, and other supplemental data. Strategy Inc. treats this website as one channel for Regulation FD-compliant distribution of important company information.
