Strategy Posts $19.5B Q3 Profit on Bitcoin Fair-Value Gain, Approves Daily Dividends

Strategy posted the biggest quarter in its history on Wednesday, reporting $19.53 billion in net income for the three months ended September 30, 2026. The number did not come from selling software. It came from a $20.91 billion mark-to-market gain on the company’s Bitcoin holdings, booked under fair-value accounting rules that now push every swing in the coin’s price straight through the income statement. The third-quarter results , filed with the SEC on October 29, also confirmed that holders of Strategy’s four preferred securities voted 99.3% in favor of moving those instruments to a daily-dividend schedule.
