Strategy Reports 2025 Preferred Stock Distributions as Return of Capital
Summary
On February 2, 2026, Strategy Inc. announced that 100% of distributions paid during calendar year 2025 on its preferred equity instruments were treated as a nontaxable return of capital (ROC) for U.S. federal income tax purposes (via Ex. 99.1 press release). These distributions reduce a shareholder's tax basis in the applicable instruments, with any excess treated as capital gain. Forms 8937 for each distribution are available on the company's investor relations website. In 2025, Strategy executed five initial public offerings of perpetual preferred equity securities ("Digital Credit"), raising gross proceeds of $5.5 billion.
Why It Matters
This update is material for investors holding Strategy's preferred equity instruments, as it clarifies the U.S. federal income tax treatment for 2025 distributions. The declaration that 100% of these distributions were a nontaxable return of capital directly impacts shareholders' tax basis and potential capital gains.
