FY2025 Earnings Guidance
TYSONS CORNER, Va., October 30, 2025 - Strategy Inc (Nasdaq: STRF/STRC/STRK/STRD/MSTR) ("Strategy"or the "Company"), the largest corporate holder of bitcoin and the world's first Bitcoin Treasury Company, today announces financial results for the three-month period ended September 30, 2025 (the third quarter of its 2025 fiscal year).
"In the third quarter and into October, Strategy continued to strengthen its position as the world's leading Bitcoin Treasury Company. We increased our bitcoin holdings to 640,808 bitcoin and have raised $20 billion year-to-date through our robust capital markets platform. We remain fully aligned with our STRC guidance framework and have announced a 25 bps increase in the STRC dividend rate to 10.50% for November. We are also actively laying the groundwork for credit securities in international jurisdictions, positioning Strategy to become a dominant credit issuer globally. With this momentum, we are reaffirming our full year targets of $20 billion BTC $ Gain and 30% BTC Yield." said Phong Le, President and Chief Executive Officer.
"Strategy generated third quarter 2025 operating income of $3.9 billion, net income of $2.8 billion and diluted EPS of $8.42 per share, our second consecutive quarter of significant positive earnings, built on the strength of our Bitcoin balance sheet and the capitalization of the company on digital credit. We generated BTC Yield of 26% and BTC $ Gain of $13 billion, year-to-date, and we are reaffirming our full-year guidance for operating income of $34 billion, net income of $24 billion, and diluted EPS of $80 per share, based on a BTC price outlook of $150,000 at the end of the year," said Andrew Kang, Chief Financial Officer.
"Strategy has built over $71 billion of transparent, scalable, and homogeneous collateral, enabling us to be the leading issuer of digital credit with a broad suite of securities across the yield and volatility spectrum. Our digital treasury business model allows us to create tax-efficient credit instruments with 'ROC' (return of capital) dividends, offering superior yield compared to traditional credit. S&P recently issued a 'B-' credit rating for Strategy*, which we believe will substantially expand the addressable market for our securities, and we continue to innovate with new credit instruments. Together, we believe these developments will drive greater BTC amplification to the benefit of our common stock investors," said Michael Saylor, Executive Chairman.
* Ratings are opinions of creditworthiness, not statements of fact, guarantees of performance, or investment recommendations, and may be changed, suspended, or withdrawn at any time.

FY2025 Earnings Guidance:
This guidance incorporates anticipated proceeds from preferred stock offerings, and the resulting growth in Bitcoin holdings.
Strategy bases its assumptions with respect to the fair market value of bitcoin as of December 31, 2025 on, among other things, research analyst reports published by third-parties available to us as of the date of publication of our guidance. Strategy has adopted ASU 2023-08, which requires that Strategy measure its bitcoin holdings at fair value, with gains and losses from changes in the fair value of bitcoin recognized in net income (loss) at each reporting period. As a result, and due to Strategy's significant bitcoin holdings, Strategy's earnings results are extremely sensitive to changes in the market price of bitcoin. Strategy can provide no assurance or guarantee as to the price of bitcoin as of December 31, 2025, and as a result Strategy's actual results may vary materially from its projected results if the market price of bitcoin as of December 31, 2025 varies materially from these assumptions. Strategy undertakes no obligation to update this guidance, other than as may be required by applicable law. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on this guidance.
FY2025 Bitcoin KPI Targets:
We expect to achieve these targets through preferred stock offerings, disciplined common stock issuance guided by mNAV thresholds, and the resulting expansion of our bitcoin holdings.
STRC Dividend Rate Guidance
All recommended dividend rate changes under this framework are subject to approval by the Company's Board of Directors, and dividends will only be declared and paid when, as, and if the Board determines such changes are in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders. This structured approach is intended to maintain the trading price of STRC Stock near its $100 per share Stated Amount. There can be no assurance that the recommended dividend adjustments will achieve such intention. Strategy may change or suspend this framework at any time in its sole discretion, consistent with the terms of the STRC Stock.
Common Stock ATM Guidance
Management will review these mNAV thresholds periodically and may update the mNAV thresholds in its sole discretion. The current mNAV is published on strategy.com and in the Strategy app so that investors can track in real time the valuation metrics we use internally.
mNAV represents a multiple of Bitcoin NAV, calculated by dividing Enterprise Value (as defined below) by Bitcoin NAV (as defined below). Although Bitcoin NAV incorporates the label "NAV," it is not equivalent to "net asset value" or "NAV" or any similar metric in the traditional financial context. Additionally, it is not a measure of the amount by which our enterprise value exceeds net asset value in the traditional financial sense of those terms. Investors should rely on the financial statements and other disclosures contained in our SEC filings. This metric is merely a supplement, not a substitute. It should be used only by sophisticated investors who understand its limited purpose and many limitations.
ROC Dividend Guidance
The current return of capital ("ROC") treatment of dividends paid in respect of our preferred equity is due to Strategy's negative tax earnings & profits ("E&P"). The Company believes it does not have any accumulated tax E&P, does not expect to generate current tax E&P, and therefore expects ROC dividends to continue for the foreseeable future, i.e., ten years or more.
Dividends on our preferred securities from a US federal income tax perspective currently receive tax-deferred ROC treatment. Such dividends are not taxed when received to the extent of an investor's adjusted tax basis in our preferred equity (in general, originally equal to an investor's "cost"), and taxation is deferred until the investor sells the security or the investor's cost basis is reduced to zero ($0). At the time of sale, capital gains are taxed based on the selling price less the "reduced" cost basis, taking into account ROC dividends previously received. Dividends received after an investor's cost basis is reduced to zero ($0) are generally taxed at capital gains rates.
Strategy Dashboard
Strategy maintains a dashboard on its website (www.strategy.com) as a disclosure channel for providing broad, non-exclusionary distribution of information regarding Strategy to the public, including information regarding market prices of its outstanding securities, bitcoin purchases and holdings, certain KPI metrics and other supplemental information, and as one means of disclosing non-public information in compliance with its disclosure obligations under Regulation FD. Investors and others are encouraged to regularly review the information that Strategy makes public via the website dashboard.

Important Information About KPIs
Bitcoin Per Share (BPS) is a key performance indicator ("KPI") that represents the ratio between the Company's bitcoin holdings and its Assumed Diluted Shares Outstanding, expressed in terms of Satoshis, where:
BTC Yield is a KPI that represents the percentage change in BPS from the beginning of a period to the end of a period.
BTC Gain is a KPI that represents the number of bitcoins held by the Company at the beginning of a period multiplied by the BTC Yield for such period.
BTC $ Gain is a KPI that represents the dollar value of the BTC Gain calculated by multiplying the BTC Gain by the market price of bitcoin. For determining BTC $ Gain QTD and YTD, unless otherwise specified, the Company uses the current market price of bitcoin. For determining BTC $ Gain for a past fiscal year or other past period, the Company uses the market price of bitcoin as of 4:00pm ET as reported on the Coinbase exchange on the last day of the applicable period. The Company uses these market prices of bitcoin for this calculation solely for the purpose of facilitating this illustrative calculation.
The Company uses BPS, BTC Yield, BTC Gain and BTC $ Gain as KPIs to help assess the performance of its strategy of acquiring bitcoin in a manner the Company believes is accretive to shareholders. The Company believes these KPIs can supplement investors' understanding of how the Company chooses to fund bitcoin purchases and the value created in a period by:
When the Company uses these KPIs, management takes into account the various limitations of these metrics, including that they
BPS, BTC Yield, BTC Gain and BTC $ Gain are not, and should not be understood as, financial performance, valuation or liquidity measures. Specifically:
The trading price of the Company's class A common stock is informed by numerous factors in addition to Company's bitcoin holdings and its actual or potential shares of class A common stock outstanding, and as a result, the trading price of the Company's securities can deviate significantly from the market value of the Company's bitcoin, and none of BPS, BTC Yield, BTC Gain or BTC $ Gain are indicative or predictive of the trading price of the Company's securities.
Investors should rely on the financial statements and other disclosures contained in the Company's SEC filings. In particular, the Company has adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-08, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Crypto Assets (Subtopic 350-60): Accounting for and Disclosure of Crypto Assets ("ASU 2023-08"), which requires that the Company measure its bitcoin at fair value in its statement of financial position as of the end of a reported period, and recognize gains losses from changes in the fair value in net income for the reported period. As a result, we may incur unrealized gain or loss on digital assets based on changes in the market price of bitcoin during a period, which would not be reflected in BPS, BTC Yield, BTC Gain or BTC $ Gain. For example, if we increase our bitcoin holdings relative to our Assumed Diluted Shares Outstanding during a reported period, we would achieve increased BPS and positive BTC Yield, BTC Gain and BTC $ Gain even if we report significant unrealized loss on digital assets for the period. Similarly, if we increase our Assumed Diluted Shares Outstanding at a faster rate than our bitcoin holdings, then we would experience decreased BPS and negative BTC Yield, BTC Gain, and BTC $ Gain, even if we report significant unrealized gain on digital assets for the period.
As noted above, these KPIs are narrow in their purpose and are used by management to assist it in assessing whether the Company is raising and deploying capital in a manner accretive to shareholders solely as it pertains to its bitcoin holdings.
In calculating these KPIs, the Company does not consider the source of capital used for the acquisition of its bitcoin. When the Company purchases bitcoin using proceeds from offerings of non-convertible notes or non-convertible preferred stock, or convertible notes or preferred stock that carry conversion prices above the current trading price of the Company's common stock or conversion rights that are not then exercisable, such transactions have the effect of increasing the BPS, BTC Yield, BTC Gain and BTC $ Gain, while also increasing the Company's indebtedness and senior claims of holders of instruments other than class A common stock with respect to dividends and to the Company's assets, including its bitcoin, in a manner that is not reflected in these metrics.
If any of the Company's convertible notes mature or are redeemed without being converted into common stock, or if the Company elects to redeem or repurchase its non-convertible instruments, the Company may be required to sell shares of its class A common stock or bitcoin to generate sufficient cash proceeds to satisfy those obligations, either of which would have the effect of decreasing BPS, BTC Yield, BTC Gain and BTC $ Gain, and adjustments for such decreases are not contemplated by the assumptions made in calculating these metrics. Accordingly, these metrics might overstate or understate the accretive nature of the Company's use of capital to buy bitcoin because not all bitcoin is purchased using proceeds of issuances of class A common stock, and not all proceeds from issuances of class A common stock are used to purchase bitcoin.
In addition, we are required to pay dividends with respect to our perpetual preferred stock in perpetuity. We could pay these dividends with cash or, in the case of STRK Stock, by issuing shares of class A common stock. We have issued shares of class A common stock for cash to fund the payment of cash dividends, and we may in the future issue shares of class A common stock in lieu of paying dividends on STRK Stock. As a result, we have experienced, and may experience in the future, increases in Assumed Diluted Shares Outstanding without corresponding increases in our bitcoin holdings, resulting in decreases in BPS, BTC Yield, BTC Gain and BTC $ Gain for the periods in which such issuance of shares of class A common stock occurred.
The Company has historically not paid any dividends on its shares of class A common stock, and by presenting these KPIs the Company makes no suggestion that it intends to do so in the future. Ownership of the Company's securities, including its class A common stock and preferred stock, does not represent an ownership interest in, or a redemption right with respect to, the bitcoin the Company holds.
The Company determines its KPI targets based on its history and future goals. The Company's ability to maintain any given level of BPS, or achieve positive BTC Yield, BTC Gain, or BTC $ Gain may depend on a variety of factors, including factors outside of its control, such as the price of bitcoin, and the availability of debt and equity financing on favorable terms. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
These KPIs are merely supplements, not substitutes to the financial statements and other disclosures contained in the Company's SEC filings. They should be used only by sophisticated investors who understand their limited purpose and many limitations.
Additional Definitions
Enterprise Value for these purposes means the sum of the market capitalization of the all basic shares of common stock outstanding, the notional value of our outstanding indebtedness as most recently reported by us in our public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the notional value of our outstanding perpetual preferred stock less our cash balance as most recently reported by us in our public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. It does not reflect enterprise value as used in the traditional financial sense of the term.
Bitcoin NAV for these purposes means the market value of our bitcoin holdings calculated by multiplying the current market price of one bitcoin by the total number of bitcoins that we hold. Although it incorporates the label "NAV," it is not equivalent to "net asset value" or "NAV" or any similar metric in the traditional financial context.
