This opinion is being furnished in connection with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act, and no opinion is expressed herein as to any matter pertaining to the contents of the Registration Statement or the STRK Prospectus, other than as expressly stated herein with respect to the issue of the Shares and the issue of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Shares.

As such counsel, we have examined such matters of fact and questions of law as we have considered appropriate for purposes of this letter. With your consent, we have relied upon oral and written statements and representations of officers and other representatives of the Company and others as to factual matters without having independently verified such factual matters. We have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, including any endorsements, the legal capacity and competency of all natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as facsimile, electronic, certified or photostatic copies and the authenticity of the originals of such copies.

We are opining herein as to the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”), and we express no opinion with respect to the applicability to the opinions expressed herein, or the effect thereon, of any other laws or as to any matters of municipal law or the laws of any local agencies within any state.

Subject to the foregoing and the other matters set forth herein, it is our opinion that, as of the date hereof:

1. When the Shares have been duly registered on the books of the transfer agent and registrar therefor in the name or on behalf of the purchasers thereof and have been issued by the Company against payment therefor in an amount not less than the par value thereof in the circumstances contemplated by the Sales Agreement, the issue and sale of the Shares will have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of the Company and the Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. In rendering the foregoing opinion, we have assumed that (a) the issuance, sale and delivery of the Shares will be made in the manner set

forth in, and in accordance with the terms of, the Sales Agreement; (b) the issuance and sale of the Shares will be in accordance with the express authority and approval (including, without limitation, with respect to the price, quantity and timing of sale of the Shares) theretofore established by the Board of Directors of the Company (or one or more duly authorized committees of such Board of Directors) in accordance with the DGCL and the Second Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter”) and Second Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company; (c) the Company will comply with all applicable notice requirements regarding uncertificated shares provided in the DGCL; and (d) upon the issuance of any Shares, the total number of shares of Perpetual Strike Preferred Stock that are issued and outstanding will not exceed the total number of shares of Perpetual Strike Preferred Stock that the Company is then authorized to issue under the Certificate of Designations.

2. The shares of Common Stock initially issuable upon conversion of the Perpetual Strike Preferred Stock (the “Conversion Shares”) have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of the Company and reserved for issuance upon conversion of the Perpetual Strike Preferred Stock and, assuming issuance of the Conversion Shares upon conversion of the Perpetual Strike Preferred Stock on the date hereof in accordance with the terms of the Certificate of Designations, would be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. In rendering the foregoing opinion, we have assumed that (a) the Company will comply with all applicable notice requirements regarding uncertificated shares provided in the DGCL; (b) upon the issuance of any Conversion Shares, the total number of shares of Common Stock that are issued and outstanding will not exceed the total number of shares of Common Stock that the Company is then authorized to issue under the Charter; and (c) that the Perpetual Strike Preferred Stock is held and converted by a single holder thereof.

This opinion is for your benefit in connection with the Registration Statement and may be relied upon by you and by persons entitled to rely upon it pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Securities Act. We consent to your filing this opinion as an exhibit to a Form 8-K and to the reference to our firm contained in the STRK Prospectus Supplement Annex under the heading “Legal Matters.” In giving such consent, we do not thereby admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.
