CrowdStrike reported more than 88,000 organizations, including end customers and customers served through managed security service providers, as of January 31, 2026 (high).
Annual recurring revenue (ARR), the annualized value of subscription contracts, was $5,841,421,000 (July 31, 2026, high); this is a contract-value measure, not revenue received during that quarter.
The dollar-based net retention rate, which tracks subscription renewals, expansion, reductions and cancellations among existing customers, was 115% (January 31, 2026, high). The latest quarterly report says this rate improved sequentially but does not give a newer figure in the supplied text.

What it stands on, and what could break it

What the business leans on

1CrowdStrike relies on its cloud service and data-center facilities to host Falcon. The company identifies Amazon Web Services and other third-party data centers, as well as its own colocation facilities, among its hosting resources.
2The company sells through resellers, distributors, managed service providers and other partners, so its ability to reach customers depends in part on those relationships and partners’ performance.
3Most revenue comes from subscriptions, making customer renewals and decisions to add or continue using Falcon functions important to the business.
4Operating its global data centers depends on a limited number of suppliers for some equipment components.

What could go wrong

1A software update to the Falcon sensor caused some Windows systems to crash. CrowdStrike says the incident has led to lawsuits, claims and inquiries, additional legal and professional expenses, delayed purchasing decisions and longer sales cycles; it says some effects may continue.
2If Falcon fails, has defects or vulnerabilities, or does not detect or prevent attacks as customers expect, customers may lose confidence and the company’s reputation and business could be harmed. CrowdStrike also says it is a target of cyberattacks.
3Customers may delay buying, choose not to renew or buy fewer functions, devices or subscription periods. The company says sales cycles have lengthened and some customer commitment packages have included discounts, extra services or longer subscription periods that can reduce expansion.

About CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc.

Customers install a small piece of monitoring software on their systems; it sends relevant information to CrowdStrike’s cloud service, where artificial intelligence (AI) helps analyze it. Customers pay subscriptions for different security functions, and can also hire CrowdStrike’s specialists to monitor systems, respond to incidents and help recover after a breach.
