Forward-Looking Statements
Statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K (including Exhibit 99.1 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.

Actual results may differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements as a result of various important factors, including the uncertainties related to Strategy’s future results of operations, its expectation regarding the tax-deferred return of capital treatment of dividends on Strategy's preferred stock, fluctuations in tax benefits or provisions, assumptions underlying Strategy’s projections, and the other factors discussed under the caption “Risk Factor Updates” in Strategy’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on October 6, 2025 and under the caption “Risk Factors” in Strategy’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on November 3, 2025 and the risks described in other filings that Strategy may make with the SEC.
