Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the settlement status of the 4,531,421 MSTR shares sold, as the filing notes some shares were sold but not yet settled as of August 28, 2026.
- Confirm the current market price of Bitcoin relative to the company's average purchase price of $75,412 to assess unrealized gains/losses.
- Monitor the "Strategy Dashboard" for daily updates on Bitcoin holdings and ATM activity, as this is the designated channel for non-public information under Regulation FD.
- Review the remaining capacity under the Digital Credit Securities Repurchase Program ($364.8 million) and the MSTR repurchase program ($1.0 billion) for potential future buyback activity.
