StratCap Digital REIT Sponsor Invests $5.3M, Cancels Portion of Shares to Increase NAV

StratCap Digital Infrastructure REIT Inc., a non-listed, publicly registered perpetual-life real estate investment trust, has announced a series of financial moves by its sponsor, StratCap Investment Management LLC, aimed at increasing shareholder value and signaling confidence in the company’s digital infrastructure portfolio.

First, the sponsor purchased nearly 525,283 Class I shares at $10.0898 per share, resulting in an investment of approximately $5.3 million. Further, in a move designed to directly enhance the value of outstanding shares, the sponsor cancelled a significant block of its own common stock. In late September, the REIT’s board formally accepted the cancellation of a total of 180,000 Class I shares held by the sponsor, along with a corresponding number of Class I units in its operating partnership, for no consideration.

This cancellation effectively reduced the total number of shares outstanding by approximately 1.5% (based on second quarter, 2025 figures), resulting in a direct increase in the REIT’s net asset value per share. The action was taken under a newly approved program allowing the sponsor to periodically cancel certain shares held for no consideration over the next 12 months.

These activities brought the sponsor’s total investment in the REIT to over $20 million. Its current holdings, after the cancellation, total approximately 2.1 million shares (Class I and Class IX), representing about 16% of total outstanding shares.

Prior, the REIT reported a series of stock purchases:

  • In August 2025, the board approved an additional $5 million investment from StratCap Investment Management.
  • In July, the sponsor invested another $5 million.
  • In May and June 2025, the sponsor made purchases of approximately $2.6 million and $2.4 million, respectively.

In connection with this activity, the REIT’s board approved an amended ownership limit for the sponsor, raising it from 9.9% to 50% of the outstanding common stock and reflecting the increased strategic commitment.

In staffing updates, the company added Michael Weidner as chief financial officer, treasurer, and secretary for the REIT, its external adviser, and sponsor. Weidner stepped in following the resignation of Abarna Meecham as interim CFO.

Weidner’s appointment was notable, as he joined HMC Capital Limited as head of finance – United States in June 2025. HMC Capital acquired StratCap in March 2024, providing a clear line to the REIT’s parent company and strategic direction.

Earlier this year, AltsWire reported that the company, which focuses on wireless infrastructure, had converted from being a private REIT formerly known as Strategic Wireless Infrastructure Fund II.

The company acquires and establishes, operates, manages, and leases digital infrastructure assets, with a primary focus on data centers, cell towers, wireless easements and lease assignments, and fiber networks. It reported total assets of $116.6 million at the end of Q2 2025.
