“Strategy demonstrated its commitment to returning STRC to health. We grew our USD Assets to $5.1 billion, increased USD Duration to 3.4 years, and repurchased $2.0 billion of STRC. We also continued to innovate. With shareholder approval on October 28, we upgraded STRF, STRC, STRK, and STRD to daily dividends, so investors can accrue dividends every calendar day of the year, including weekends and holidays. Daily dividends are a natural step toward the tokenized, 24/7/365 financial system. Digital Credit is being built for that world, and Strategy intends to lead it,” said Phong Le, President and Chief Executive Officer.
“Q3 operating income of $21 billion was the largest ever in Strategy’s history. We've also raised $21 billion of equity capital and increased our bitcoin holdings by 26% year-to-date in a challenging bitcoin market. Lastly, it has been an honor and privilege to serve as Strategy’s CFO for the past four and a half years, and I am grateful for the support of Michael, Phong, the Board, our employees and our shareholders through the tremendous growth over that period,” said Andrew Kang, Chief Financial Officer.
“We’re at the beginning of the next bitcoin bull market. Banks are embracing bitcoin, bitcoin’s dominance among digital assets is growing, institutional demand is back, and bitcoin price is 21% above its 200-week moving average. Digital Credit continues to grow, with $16 billion in notional value across ten publicly listed securities.

Chief Financial Officer Transition
Andrew Kang will step down as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer effective November 5, 2026, and will remain with the Company in an advisory capacity through December 31, 2026. Phong Le, President and Chief Executive Officer, will serve as the Company's principal financial officer and assume responsibility for the finance organization during the transition, and effective January 1, 2027, Reza Virasteh, Strategy's current Executive Vice President of Operations, will become Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, serving as co-principal financial officer alongside Mr. Le, who will retain responsibility for the financial management of the Company's bitcoin strategy.
ROC Dividend Guidance
Strategy believes that it will not have positive accumulated earnings & profits for U.S. federal income tax purposes (“E&P”), and does not expect to generate positive 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. Investors and others are encouraged to regularly review the information that Strategy makes public via the website dashboard.

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) over a period. It is calculated by dividing the difference in BPS between the beginning of a period and the end of a period by the BPS at the beginning of the period. For an interim Measurement Period that is part of a longer Reference Period, 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.
▪BTC Gain represents the BTC Yield for a period in gross bitcoin terms. It is calculated by multiplying the BTC Yield for that period by the Company’s gross bitcoin holdings at the beginning of a specified period. For an interim Measurement Period that is part of a longer Reference Period, BTC Gain is calculated by multiplying the BTC Yield for the Measurement Period by the Company’s gross bitcoin holdings at the beginning of the Reference Period.
▪BTC $ Gain represents BTC Gain as an illustrative dollar value. It is calculated by multiplying the BTC Gain by the market price of bitcoin as reported on the Coinbase exchange as of the applicable measurement time.
“Measurement Period” refers to the period being measured, and “Reference Period” refers to the longer period of which the Measurement Period may be a sub-part. 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 Measurement Period is that interim period, and unless otherwise stated, the Reference Period is the fiscal year-to-date period ending on the last day of the Measurement Period. For example, assume BPS (in Sats) is 100 at the beginning of a fiscal year, 110 at the end of the first quarter and 125 at the end of the second quarter. The BTC Yield for the second quarter is calculated as (125/100 − 1) less (110/100 − 1), or 15%. The first and second quarter BTC Yields of 10% and 15%, respectively, sum to the year-to-date BTC Yield of 25%. With 1,000 bitcoin held at the beginning of the fiscal year, BTC Gain would be 100 bitcoin (10% × 1,000) and 150 bitcoin (15% × 1,000) for the first and second quarters, respectively, which sum to the year-to-date BTC Gain of 250 bitcoin.
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. These prices are used solely to facilitate 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) 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 considers the impact the transaction will have on this metric. This metric forms the baseline for the Company’s BTC Yield, BTC Gain and BTC $ Gain KPIs, each of which presents the change in BPS (in Sats) over a period in a different format.
▪BTC Yield helps management and investors assess the Company’s achievement of its strategy of acquiring bitcoin in an accretive manner across periods. The Company uses BTC Yield to evaluate whether its capital markets activity and bitcoin acquisition strategy have 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 helps the Company 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. A larger bitcoin asset base may produce a lower BTC Yield but the same BTC Gain. For example, a 10% BTC Yield on 100,000 bitcoin and a 5% BTC Yield on 200,000 bitcoin each result in a BTC Gain of 10,000 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 BTC Gain with reference to the market price of bitcoin.
When management uses these metrics, management takes into account their various limitations. With respect to BPS (in Sats), BTC Yield, BTC Gain and BTC $ Gain, these limitations include that the metrics:
▪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. 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 that would remain attributable to holders of common stock after accounting for senior claims (net of the Company’s USD Assets).
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 Company's ability to satisfy its 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. Nor is it 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. Nor are they 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. BTC $ Gain also does not represent a fair value gain of the Company’s bitcoin holdings nor any other realized or unrealized financial gain. BTC $ Gain may be positive
during periods when the Company has incurred fair value losses on its bitcoin holdings, or negative during periods when the Company has incurred fair value gains 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. As a result, the trading price of the Company’s securities can deviate significantly from the fair market value of the Company’s bitcoin. None of BPS (in Sats), BTC Yield, BTC Gain or BTC $ Gain is 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”). ASU 2023-08 requires the Company to measure its bitcoin at fair value in its statement of financial position as of the end of a reported period, and to 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, as well as gain or loss from the sale of digital assets during a period. These gains and losses are not 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 realized or 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 purpose and are used by management to help assess 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. They 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 to acquire 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 (including certain of its perpetual preferred stock), 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. The assumptions used in calculating these metrics do not contemplate adjustments for such decreases. 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 Stock, by issuing shares of class A common stock. The Company has issued shares of class A common stock and certain series of its preferred stock for cash to fund the payment of cash dividends. In the future, the Company may also issue shares of class A common stock in lieu of paying dividends on STRK Stock. 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. Holders of the Company’s securities, including its class A common stock and preferred stock, have no ownership interest in, or redemption right with respect to, the Company's bitcoin holdings.
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, and the Company’s KPI results for any particular interim period may not be indicative of its ability to achieve longer-term objectives under its bitcoin strategy. Additionally, the Company’s KPIs may improve, and the Company may achieve its targets or objectives, even as it incurs losses or the market price of its class A common stock declines.
These KPIs are merely supplements, not substitutes for 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. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the Company’s KPIs or interpret the Company’s targets as assurances of financial performance or stockholder returns.
