SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED JANUARY 29, 2025
PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS
Maximum Offering of $575,000,000
StratCap Digital Infrastructure REIT, Inc. (f/k/a Strategic Wireless Infrastructure Fund II, Inc.), or the Company, is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that intends to acquire and/or establish, operate, manage and lease digital infrastructure assets, with a primary focus on (1) data centers, (2) cell towers, (3) wireless easements and lease assignments, and (4) fiber networks. Data centers may include wholesale, enterprise, colocation, edge computing facilities, mobile and telecom switching exchanges, central offices, telecommunication hubs, telecommunication points of presences, or other data centers. To a lesser extent, we may invest in other real estate-related assets, including telecommunications infrastructure assets, such as small cells and distributed antenna systems (“DAS”), and other digital infrastructure real estate assets that our management believes provides an opportunity for income and/or growth. We are externally managed by our advisor, StratCap Digital Infrastructure Advisors II, LLC (our “advisor”), an affiliate of our sponsor, StratCap Investment Management, LLC (our “sponsor”), which is indirectly owned by HMC USA Holdings LLC (“HMC”), a subsidiary of HMC Capital Limited ABN 94 138 990 593 (“HMC Capital”), an Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) listed alternative asset manager with approximately AUD $19 billion in assets under management. We conduct our operations as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes and elected to be taxed as a REIT beginning with our taxable year ended December 31, 2021. We are not a mutual fund and do not intend to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the Investment Company Act.
We are offering on a continuous basis up to $575,000,000 in shares of common stock, consisting of up to $500,000,000 in shares in our primary offering and up to $75,000,000 in shares pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan, in any combination of Class D common stock (“Class D shares”), Class I common stock (“Class I shares”), Class S common stock (“Class S shares”) or Class T common stock (“Class T shares”). The share classes have different selling commissions, dealer manager fees and ongoing stockholder servicing fees. Each class of shares of our common stock will be sold at the “transaction price,” plus applicable upfront selling commissions and dealer manager fees. The transaction price generally will be equal to the net asset value (“NAV”) per share of our common stock most recently disclosed by us, however, we may offer shares at a price that we believe reflects the NAV per share of such stock more appropriately than the most recently disclosed NAV per share, including by updating a previously disclosed transaction price, in cases where we believe there has been a material change (positive or negative) to our NAV per share relative to the most recently disclosed NAV per share due to the impact of one or more factors, including as a result of significant market events or disruptions or force majeure events. Accordingly, the offering price per share for each class of our common stock will vary. You must initially invest at least $2,500 in Class D shares, Class I shares, Class S shares and Class T shares. This is a “best efforts” offering, which means that our affiliated dealer manager, StratCap Securities, LLC, or our dealer manager, will use its best efforts to sell our shares and is not obligated to purchase any specific number or dollar amount of our shares.
We are an “emerging growth company” under the federal securities laws and will be subject to reduced public company reporting requirements. Investing in shares of our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should purchase shares only if you can afford a complete loss of your investment. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 29. These risks include, among others: •
There is no public trading market for our common stock and repurchase of shares by us will likely be the only way to dispose of your shares. Our amended and restated share repurchase program (our “share repurchase program”) will provide you with the opportunity to request that we repurchase your shares on a monthly basis, but we are not obligated to repurchase any shares under our share repurchase program or provide any other kind of liquidity, and we may choose to repurchase only some, or even none, of the shares that have been requested to be repurchased. In addition, repurchases will be subject to available liquidity and other significant restrictions. Further, our board of directors may make exceptions to, modify or suspend or terminate our share repurchase program. As a result, our shares should be considered as having only limited liquidity and at times may be illiquid.
•
We cannot guarantee that we will make distributions, and if we do, the amount of distributions we may make is uncertain and we may fund such distributions from sources other than cash flow from operations, including, without limitation, from borrowings, the sale of or repayment under our assets, or proceeds of this offering, and we have no limits on the amounts we may pay from such sources. The use of these sources for distributions may decrease the amount of cash we have available for new investments, share repurchases and other corporate purposes, and could reduce your overall return.
•
This is a “blind pool” offering; you will not have the opportunity to evaluate all of the investments we will make before we make them.
•
This is a “best efforts” offering and if we are unable to raise substantial funds, then we will be more limited in our investments.
•
We may change our investment policies without stockholder notice or consent, which could result in investments that are different from those described in this prospectus.
•
The purchase and repurchase price for shares of our common stock are generally based on our prior month’s NAV (subject to material changes as described above) and are not based on any public trading market. While there will be independent annual appraisals of our properties, the appraisal of properties is inherently subjective, and our NAV may not accurately reflect the actual price at which our properties could be liquidated on any given day.
•
Some of our executive officers, directors and other key personnel are also officers, directors, managers, key personnel and/or holders of an ownership interest in our advisor, our dealer manager and/or other entities related to our sponsor. As a result, they face conflicts of interest, including but not limited to conflicts arising from time constraints, allocation of investment and leasing opportunities, and the fact that certain of the compensation our advisor will receive for services rendered to us is based on our NAV, the procedures for which our advisor assists our board of directors in developing, overseeing, implementing and coordinating. We may compete with certain vehicles sponsored or advised by affiliates of direct and indirect owners of our sponsor for investments and certain of those entities may be given priority with respect to certain investment opportunities.
•
We are dependent on the advisor to conduct our operations. The advisor will face conflicts of interest as a result of, among other things, the allocation of investment opportunities among us and other investment vehicles, the allocation of time of its investment professionals and the substantial fees that we will pay to the advisor.
•
There are limits on the ownership and transferability of our stock. See “Description of Capital Stock — Restrictions on Ownership and Transfer.”
•
If we fail to continue to qualify as a REIT and no relief provisions apply, our NAV and cash available for distribution to our stockholders could materially decrease.

Securities regulators have not passed upon whether this offering can be sold in compliance with existing or future suitability or conduct standards, including the “Regulation Best Interest” standard, to any or all purchasers. The use of forecasts in this offering is prohibited. Any oral or written predictions about the amount or certainty of any cash benefits or tax consequences that may result from an investment in our common stock is prohibited.

(1)
Shares of each class will be issued at a price per share generally equal to the prior month’s NAV per share for such class, plus applicable upfront selling commissions and dealer manager fees. The transaction price is the then-current offering price per share before applicable selling commissions and dealer manager fees and is generally the prior month’s NAV per share for such class.
(2)
For illustrative purposes only, the table assumes that $500,000,000 shares are sold in the primary offering, with 10% of the gross offering proceeds from the sale of Class D shares, 30% from the sale of Class I shares, 10% from the sale of Class S shares and 50% from the sale of Class T shares. The number of shares of each class of common stock sold and the relative proportions in which the classes of shares are sold are uncertain and may differ significantly from this assumption. In addition to upfront selling commissions and dealer manager fees presented in this table, subject to Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc., or FINRA, limitations on underwriting compensation, we will pay our dealer manager certain ongoing stockholder servicing fees. See “Plan of Distribution.”
(3)
Proceeds are calculated before deducting stockholder servicing fees or organization and offering expenses payable by us, which are paid over time.
(4)
We reserve the right to reallocate shares of common stock between our distribution reinvestment plan and our primary offering.
