Summary
Summary of the 8-K filed May 15, 2026. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.
On May 14, 2026, Strategy Inc entered into privately negotiated transactions with certain holders of its outstanding 0% Convertible Senior Notes due 2029 (the "2029 Notes"), agreeing to repurchase approximately $1.50 billiona aggregate principal amount of these notes for an estimated aggregate cash repurchase price of approximately $1.38 billion.
The final cash price is subject to adjustment based in part on the daily volume-weighted average price of its Class A Common Stock during an agreed measurement period, so the amount actually paid could differ from the estimate depending on movements in the stock price over that period. Strategy expects to fund the repurchases with available cash reserves, proceeds from sales of securities under its at-the-market offering program, and/or proceeds from the sale of bitcoin. The repurchases are expected to settle on or about May 19, 2026, subject to customary closing conditions.
Following closing, Strategy intends to cancel the repurchased notes, after which approximately $1.50 billionb aggregate principal amount of 2029 Notes will remain outstanding. The filing is disclosed under Item 8.01 (Other Events) and includes forward-looking statements, with risk factors referenced to the company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed May 6, 2026.
