Item 8.01 Other Events.

 

Digital Credit Capital Framework Announcement

On June 29, 2026, Strategy Inc (“Strategy” or the “Company”) announced that it has adopted a “Digital Credit Capital Framework”, designed to strengthen the Company’s various series of preferred securities (collectively, “Digital Credit Securities”), enhance liquidity, preserve long-term Bitcoin exposure, and support long-term value creation for the Company’s stockholders. The framework consists of five principal components:

 

a Board-approved USD Reserve policy;
a revised STRC dividend policy;
a Digital Credit Securities repurchase program;
a class A common stock repurchase program; and
a BTC monetization program.

 

The material terms of these components are summarized below.

USD Reserve Policy

The framework includes a Board-approved policy governing the Company’s previously established U.S. dollar reserve (the “USD Reserve”). Under the policy, the USD Reserve may be used only to support the payment of preferred stock dividends and interest expense on outstanding indebtedness. Any other use requires Board authorization. Additionally, under the policy, management must maintain a minimum USD Reserve equal to at least 12 months of the Company’s current expected annual preferred stock dividend payments and interest obligations. Any reduction below that level requires Board authorization.

 

As of June 28, 2026, the balance of the USD Reserve is $2.55 billion. This amount includes expected cash proceeds from shares sold under Strategy’s at-the-market offering program (“ATM”) that had not yet settled as of such date.

 

Under the Board-approved USD Reserve policy, the Company may use the USD Reserve to pay preferred stock dividends and interest expenses as they become due and may subsequently replenish the USD Reserve through sales of BTC under the BTC Monetization Program described below or other capital markets activity.

 

STRC Dividend Policy

The Company announced a revised dividend policy for its Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Stretch Preferred Stock (“STRC”). Going forward, the Company intends to evaluate the STRC dividend rate monthly based on a range of factors, including STRC trading levels, market yields, credit spreads, the price and volatility of bitcoin, USD Reserve coverage, capital market conditions, and the Company’s overall capital structure. Dividend rate adjustments are one of several tools available to the Company, which may also respond to market conditions through USD Reserve management, BTC monetization, repurchases of Digital Credit Securities or class A common stock, and other capital allocation actions. The Company will not necessarily increase the STRC dividend rate solely because STRC trades below its stated amount.STRC dividends remain subject to declaration by the Board or an authorized committee and are not guaranteed.

 

Digital Credit Securities Repurchase Program

The Company announced that it has established a repurchase program for up to $1.0 billion aggregate purchase price of its outstanding Digital Credit Securities, including STRC, 10.00% Series A Perpetual Strife Preferred Stock (STRF), 10.00% Series A Perpetual Stride Preferred Stock (STRD), and 8.00% Series A Perpetual Strike Preferred Stock (STRK).

 

The Company currently expects STRC to be the initial priority under the program if management determines that repurchases are accretive and would strengthen the Company’s capital structure.

 

Repurchases may be made from time to time through open-market purchases, block trades, privately negotiated transactions, tender offers, exchange offers, or other legally permissible means, depending on market conditions, trading

 

 

 


 

prices, liquidity, applicable legal requirements, and other factors. The repurchase authorization does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of securities, has no fixed expiration date, and may be modified, suspended, or terminated at any time. Repurchases of Digital Credit Securities will not be funded from the USD Reserve; to the extent the Company funds such repurchases through BTC sales, such sales would be made under the BTC Monetization Program described below.

 

Class A Common Stock Repurchase Program

The Company also announced that it has established a repurchase program for up to $1.0 billion aggregate purchase price of its class A common stock. Repurchases may be made from time to time through open-market purchases, block trades, privately negotiated transactions, accelerated share repurchase transactions, or other legally permissible means, depending on market conditions, trading prices, liquidity, applicable legal requirements, and other factors. The authorization does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of common stock, has no fixed expiration date, and may be modified, suspended, or terminated at any time.

 

Repurchases of class A common stock will not be funded from the USD Reserve; to the extent the Company funds such repurchases through BTC sales, such sales would be made under the BTC Monetization Program described below.

 

BTC Monetization Program

The Company’s Board of Directors has authorized a BTC monetization program (the “BTC Monetization Program”) under which the Company may sell bitcoin from time to time for three primary purposes:

 

to generate up to $1.25 billion of additional proceeds to fund the USD Reserve;
to additionally fund preferred stock dividends and interest expense as they become payable, or to replenish the USD Reserve after such payments, when management determines that it is more advantageous than issuing class A common stock or other capital markets transactions; and
to additionally fund repurchases of Digital Credit Securities or class A common stock, including related taxes, fees, and transaction expenses, under the repurchase programs described above.

 

Any bitcoin monetization outside these purposes or in excess of these authorizations would require further Board authorization. The BTC Monetization Program has no fixed expiration date, may be modified, suspended, or terminated at any time, and does not obligate the Company to sell any bitcoin, fund any dividend payment or interest expense through BTC monetization, or repurchase any securities.

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 distributions.
