Bellamy, 64, signed a five-year contract with the Storm in 2022 that allows him to decide each year whether he will continue in the head coach position or transition into a coaching director role.
With Melbourne currently in second spot on the NRL ladder, he announced on Friday he had decided to stay on next year.
He took on the senior coaching role with the Storm in 2003, leading the team to a semi-final in his first year.
Since then the Storm have played in 20 finals series, winning the grand final on five occasions and the minor premiership seven times.
