On November 4, 2025, Strategy Inc (the “Company”) consolidated its existing at-the-market offering programs to enable greater efficiency with respect to (i) the administration of its existing at-the-market offerings and (ii) any potential future launch of other at-the-market offerings as a whole. As part of this consolidation, on November 4, 2025, the Company entered into an Omnibus Sales Agreement (the “Omnibus Sales Agreement”) with TD Securities (USA) LLC, Barclays Capital Inc., The Benchmark Company, LLC, BTIG, LLC, Canaccord Genuity LLC, Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., Clear Street LLC, Compass Point Research & Trading, LLC, H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC, Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc., Maxim Group LLC, Mizuho Securities USA LLC, Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, Santander US Capital Markets LLC, SG Americas Securities, LLC and TCBI Securities, Inc., doing business as Texas Capital Securities, as sales agents (each an “Agent” and collectively, the “Agents”), pursuant to which the Company may issue and sell the following shares from time to time through the Agents (the “Offering”):
| (i) | 10.00% series A perpetual strife preferred stock, $0.001 par value per share (“STRF Stock”); |
| (ii) | variable rate series A perpetual stretch preferred stock, $0.001 par value per share (“STRC Stock”); |
| (iii) | 8.00% series A perpetual strike preferred stock, $0.001 par value per share (“STRK Stock”); |
| (iv) | 10.00% series A perpetual stride preferred stock, $0.001 par value per share (“STRD Stock”); |
| (v) | class A common stock, $0.001 par value per share (“Common Stock”); and |
| (vi) | preferred stock, $0.001 par value per share, of any additional series of preferred stock as may be designated by the Company from time to time in the future (“Future Designated Preferred Stock”). |
The shares of STRF Stock, STRC Stock, STRK Stock, STRD Stock, Common Stock and Future Designated Preferred Stock that the Company may from time to time issue and sell pursuant to the Omnibus Sales Agreement are collectively referred to herein as the “Shares.”
The Omnibus Sales Agreement amends, restates and replaces in full each of the following sales agreements (collectively, the “Prior Sales Agreements”):
| (i) | the Sales Agreement, between the Company and certain of the Agents, dated as of May 22, 2025, as amended by the First Amendment to Sales Agreement, between the Company and certain of the Agents, dated as of July 7, 2025, relating to the offering of up to $2.1 billion of shares of STRF Stock; |
| (ii) | the Sales Agreement, between the Company and certain of the Agents, dated as of July 31, 2025, relating to the offering of up to $4.2 billion of shares of STRC Stock; |
| (iii) | the Sales Agreement, between the Company and certain of the Agents, dated as of March 10, 2025, relating to the offering of up to $21.0 billion of shares of STRK Stock; |
| (iv) | the Sales Agreement, between the Company and certain of the Agents, dated as of July 7, 2025, relating to the offering of up to $4.2 billion of shares of STRD Stock; and |
| (v) | the Sales Agreement, between the Company and certain of the Agents, dated as of May 1, 2025, relating to the offering of up to $21.0 billion of shares of Common Stock. |
In addition, and also as part of the consolidation, on November 4, 2025, the Company filed a base prospectus supplement (the “Base Prospectus Supplement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under its existing automatic shelf registration statement that became effective on January 27, 2025 (File No. 333-284510) (the “Registration Statement”), and the base prospectus contained therein, along with additional prospectus supplements constituting annexes to the Base Prospectus Supplement (the “Prospectus Supplement Annexes”) relating to the offering of the following Shares (collectively, the “Currently Offered Shares”):
| (i) | shares of STRF Stock having an aggregate offering amount of up to $1,659,967,526.88; |
| (ii) | shares of STRC Stock having an aggregate offering amount of up to $4,200,000,000.00; |
| (iii) | shares of STRK Stock having an aggregate offering amount of up to $20,340,632,356.64, |
| (iv) | shares of STRD Stock having an aggregate offering amount of up to $4,133,799,112.67; and |
| (v) | shares of Common Stock having an aggregate offering amount of up to $15,854,365,265.54. |
The respective aggregate offering amounts of the Currently Offered Shares are equal to the amounts that remained unsold under each of the Company’s previously existing at-the-market offerings as of their termination in connection with the consolidation. Each Prospectus Supplement Annex describes the specific terms of the applicable individual at-the-market offering of shares to which it relates, and in the case of the Prospectus Supplement Annexes related to shares of preferred stock, also describes the specific terms of the applicable preferred stock. The Base Prospectus Supplement describes the terms applicable to the Company’s at-the-market offerings of Shares more generally.
Upon delivery of a placement notice for a particular class or series of Shares, and subject to the terms and conditions of the Omnibus Sales Agreement, the Agents may sell such Shares by any method that is deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any other method permitted by law, which may include negotiated transactions or block trades. The Company may sell the Shares through the Agents in amounts and at times to be determined by the Company from time to time subject to the terms and conditions of the Omnibus Sales Agreement, but neither it nor the Agents have any obligation to sell any of the Shares in the Offering. No assurance can be given that the Company will sell any Shares under the Omnibus Sales Agreement, or, if it does, as to the price, amount or class or series of Shares that it sells or the dates when such sales will take place. The Company will only sell Shares through one Agent with respect to a given class or series of Shares on any single day, subject to a limited exception applicable to block sale transactions conducted after market close. Sales pursuant to the Omnibus Sales Agreement may be made through an affiliate of an Agent.
The Company or the Agents may suspend or terminate any offering of Shares in the Offering upon notice to the other parties and subject to other conditions. Each Agent will act as sales agent on a commercially reasonable efforts basis consistent with its normal trading and sales practices.
The Company has agreed to pay the Agents’ commissions for their respective services in acting as agents in the sale of the Shares in the amount of up to 2.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds it receives from each sale of Shares pursuant to the Omnibus Sales Agreement. The Company has also agreed to provide the Agents with customary indemnification and contribution rights.
