For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, our enterprise analytics software business did not generate positive cash flow from operations, and we do not expect our enterprise analytics software business to generate sufficient cash flow from operations to satisfy our financial obligations or liquidity needs over the next twelve months. As of December 31, 2024, 2025, our outstanding indebtedness was $7.274 $8.25 billion, and our annual contractual interest expense was $35.1 $36.2 million. Additionally, as of February 14, 2025, 13, 2026, we had outstanding series A perpetual strike preferred stock with a liquidation preference $8.47 billion aggregate notional value of $730.0 million Preferred Stock. Our outstanding Preferred Stock accrues dividends payable, as and if declared by our board of directors, out of funds legally available for their payment: in the aggregate, with respect to which we are required to pay annual dividends case of $58.4 million, which we can pay STRF Stock, STRE Stock and STRK Stock, quarterly in cash or shares arrears on a cumulative basis; in the case of our class A common stock. STRD Stock, quarterly in arrears on a non-cumulative basis; and in the case of STRC Stock, monthly in arrears on a cumulative basis. See the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section under Part II, Item 7 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for further information regarding such dividend obligations. As part of our bitcoin strategy, we expect to incur or continue to incur additional indebtedness and other fixed charges. For charges, and we expect to issue additional preferred stock. On December 1, 2025, we announced the year ended December 31, 2024, establishment of the USD Reserve, a management-designated portion of our enterprise analytics software business did not generate positive cash flow from operations.

Our ability to obtain equity or debt financing may in turn depend on, among other factors, the value of our bitcoin holdings, investor sentiment and the general public perception of bitcoin, our strategy and our value proposition. Accordingly, a significant decline in the fair market value of our bitcoin holdings or a negative shift in these other factors may create liquidity and credit risks, as such a decline or such shifts may adversely impact our ability to secure sufficient equity or debt financing to maintain the USD Reserve at targeted levels and to satisfy our financial obligations, including our debt obligations and cash dividend obligations. liquidity needs. These risks could materialize at times when bitcoin is trading below its carrying value on our most recent balance sheet or our cost basis. As bitcoin constitutes the vast bulk of assets on our balance sheet, if we are unable to secure equity or debt financing in a timely manner, on favorable terms, or at all, we may be required to sell bitcoin to satisfy these obligations. Any such sale of bitcoin may have a material adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition, and could impair our ability to secure additional equity or debt financing in the future. Our inability to secure additional equity or debt financing in a timely manner, on favorable terms or at all, or to sell our bitcoin in amounts and at prices sufficient to satisfy our financial obligations, including our debt service and cash dividend obligations, could cause us to default under such obligations. Any default on our current or future indebtedness or preferred stock may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition. See “Risks Related to Our Outstanding and Potential Future Indebtedness” and “Risks Related to Our Series A Perpetual Strike Preferred Stock” for additional details about the risks which may impact us if we are unable to satisfy our debt service and cash dividend obligations.

The U.S. enacted the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (“IRA”) in August 2022. Unless an exemption applies, the IRA imposes a 15% corporate alternative minimum tax (“CAMT”) on a corporation with respect to an initial tax year and subsequent tax years, if the average annual adjusted financial statement income for any consecutive three-tax-year period preceding the initial tax year exceeds $1 billion. On September 12, 2024, the Department of Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service issued proposed regulations with respect to the application of the CAMT.

Accordingly, as a result of the enactment of the IRA and our adoption of ASU 2023-08 on January 1, 2025, unless the IRA is amended or the proposed regulations with respect to CAMT, when finalized, are revised to provide relief (or other interim relief is granted), we could become subject to the CAMT in the 2026 tax year and beyond. If we become subject to the CAMT, it could result in a material tax obligation that we would need to satisfy in cash, which could materially affect our financial results, including our earnings and cash flow, and our financial condition.

We have entered into an indemnification agreement with Michael J. Saylor, our Chairman of the Board of Directors and Executive Chairman, pursuant to which Mr. Saylor has agreed to personally indemnify our directors and officers with respect to certain claims and expenses excluded from the insurance coverage provided by our commercial director and officer insurance carriers, for which we agreed to pay Mr. Saylor an applicable annual fee. Our having entered into this indemnification agreement with Mr. Saylor could have adverse effects on our business, including making it more difficult to attract and retain qualified directors and officers due to the unconventional nature of the arrangement and potential concerns that the indemnification arrangement might not provide the same level of protection that might otherwise be provided by coverage obtained entirely through conventional director and officer insurance. In addition, our indemnification arrangement with Mr. Saylor may result in some investors perceiving that our independent directors are not sufficiently independent from Mr. Saylor due to their entitlement to personal indemnification from him, which may have an adverse effect on the market price of our listed securities.
