Fact Check
The claim is directly and fully corroborated by Strategy's own SEC Form 8-K filing dated May 15, 2026, which is the highest-authority primary source available for corporate actions. The filing confirms every specific detail in the claim: the ~$1.50 billion principal amount targeted, the ~$1.38 billion cash repurchase price, the 0% 2029 convertible note series, and the three funding mechanisms (cash reserves, ATM equity sales, and/or Bitcoin sales). The 'half of its 2029 convertible notes' characterization is also accurate: the 8-K notes ~$1.50 billion remains outstanding after the transaction, consistent with the original $3 billion issuance noted by CoinDesk. The minor residual uncertainty (0.02) reflects only the fact that the 8-K notes the final price is subject to adjustment based on a Measurement Period VWAP, meaning the exact $1.38 billion figure could shift slightly at settlement.
