Summary of the 8-K filed November 7, 2025. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.
On November 6, 2025, Strategy Inc (Nasdaq: STRF/STRC/STRK/STRD/MSTR) entered into an underwriting agreement with a group of seven underwriters for an underwritten offering of 7,750,000 shares of its 10.00%a Series A Perpetual Stream Preferred Stock (the "STRE Stock") at a public offering price of €80.00 per share.
The offering is scheduled to settle on November 13, 2025, subject to customary closing conditions. The company estimates gross proceeds of approximately €620.0 million ($715.1 millionb) and net proceeds of approximately €608.8 million ($702.2 million) after underwriting discounts, commissions and estimated offering expenses, using the €1.00/$1.1534 exchange rate as of November 6, 2025. The company intends to use the net proceeds for general corporate purposes, including the acquisition of bitcoin and for working capital.
The STRE Stock carries cumulative regular dividends at 10.00%c per annum on a stated amount of €100 per share, payable in cash only when declared, quarterly beginning December 31, 2025. Unpaid dividends compound, with the compounded rate starting at 10% plus 100 basis points and rising by 100 basis points per period up to a maximum of 18% per annum. If a regular dividend is not declared, the company must use commercially reasonable efforts over the following 60 days to raise proceeds to cover the deferred amount, subject to payment of accumulated dividends on its other senior preferred stock.
The offering is being made under an effective Form S-3ASR shelf registration statement (Registration No. 333-284510). The company may redeem all outstanding STRE Stock for cash if fewer than 25%d of the originally issued shares remain outstanding, or upon certain tax events.
Holders may require repurchase upon a fundamental change. The liquidation preference is initially €100 per share and adjusts daily to the greatest of the stated amount, the last sale price in certain circumstances, or the ten-day average sale price.
