Establishment of Cash Reserve
On December 1, 2025, Strategy Inc (“Strategy”) announced that it has established a US dollar reserve (“USD Reserve”) of $1.44 billion to support the payment of dividends on its preferred stock and interest on its outstanding indebtedness (“Dividends”).

Strategy’s current intention is to maintain a USD Reserve in an amount sufficient to fund at least twelve months of Dividends, and Strategy intends to strengthen the USD Reserve over time, with the goal of ultimately covering 24 months or more of its Dividends. The maintenance of this USD Reserve, as well as its terms and amount, remain subject to Strategy’s sole and absolute discretion and Strategy may adjust the USD Reserve from time-to-time based on market conditions, liquidity needs and other factors.

Forward-Looking Statements
Statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K (including Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 attached hereto) about future expectations, plans, and prospects, as well as any other statements regarding matters that are not historical facts, may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements include, but are not limited to, estimates of future business prospects or financial results, including our fiscal year 2025 earnings guidance and fiscal year 2025 bitcoin key performance indicator targets, statements regarding the circumstances under which we will issue class A common stock or preferred securities, and statements regarding our intentions for our USD Reserve.
