Strategy 8-K

Summary

STRC dividend declaration and rate update. Strategy will maintain the preferred stock’s 12% annual dividend rate for semi-monthly periods beginning on or after 10/16/2026. The 11/15/2026 dividend is conditional on stockholder approval of daily dividend amendments and timely effectiveness of the amended certificate of designations; if both occur, daily dividends are intended to replace it.

Key Figures

• STRC rate: 12% annually; management will recommend maintaining it until the shares show sustained, healthy trading near $100.
• Declared dividends: $0.50 per share, payable 10/31/2026 to holders of record 10/15/2026, and $0.50 per share, payable 11/15/2026 to holders of record 10/31/2026, unless the contingent condition is met.
• If the condition is met, the company intends, subject to board approval, to declare November daily dividends at a 12% annual rate, with daily record dates beginning 11/01/2026 and payments on subsequent business days. The 10/31/2026 dividend is not conditional.
• The company expects the 10/31/2026 dividend and, if payable, the 11/15/2026 dividend to be treated as non-taxable returns of capital for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent of a holder’s STRC tax basis.

Investor Takeaways

• Watch the 10/28/2026 special meeting vote and whether the amended certificate is filed and effective by 12:01 a.m. on 11/01/2026; both are required for the daily-dividend plan and to cancel the 11/15 dividend.
