Cloud-of-strings (CS) geometries provide an effective description of one-dimensional string distributions. However, their central singularity cannot be removed through the standard regular black holes (RBH) mechanism based on an effective mass function, since the string sector contributes independently to the ultraviolet structure of the spacetime. Motivated by this observation, we investigate whether string-supported black holes can be consistently regularized while preserving the CS asymptotics and admitting a physically meaningful string-fluid interpretation. Using the gravitational decoupling method, we construct a RBH supported by an effective anisotropic string fluid. We show that the string sector deforms the de Sitter core, modifies the local topology of the spacelike slices, and introduces a longer-range correction dominating the usual Hayward/LQG term. The geometry admits non-extremal and extremal RBH, as well as a regular horizonless compact object. Moreover, the string parameter qualitatively modifies the thermodynamic evolution by shifting the Davies phase transition and the size of the black-hole remnant. Finally, the scalar quasinormal-mode spectrum exhibits systematic changes in both the oscillation frequencies and damping rates. These results show that regularizing string supported black holes is a physically distinct problem, with the matter sector governing the ultraviolet structure, thermodynamics, and dynamical response of the spacetime.
