Summary of the 8-K filed September 20, 2024. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.

On September 19, 2024, MicroStrategy Incorporated completed a private offering of 0.625% convertible senior notes due 2028, upsized to a total of $1.01 billiona in aggregate principal amount including $135.0 million from the exercise of the initial purchasers' option.

Net proceeds to the company totaled approximately $997.4 millionb. The company intends to use about $523.8 million of those proceeds to redeem in full its $500.0 million of 6.125% Senior Secured Notes due 2028 on September 26, 2024, at 103.063% of principal plus accrued interest. Upon redemption, the collateral securing those notes, including approximately 69,080 bitcoins, will be released.

The filing states that as of June 30, 2024, the company had $3.909 billionc of aggregate indebtedness, and that after the conversion and redemption of the 2025 Convertible Notes it had $3.764 billion remaining, with annual interest expense on the remaining convertible and senior secured notes of $58.9 million. After giving effect to the 2028 offering and the redemption, the company will have $4.274 billion of aggregate indebtedness, with annual interest expense of $34.6 million on the remaining convertible notes and the 2028 Convertible Notes. Between September 13 and September 19, 2024, the company acquired approximately 7,420 bitcoins for about $458.2 million in cash, funded from offering proceeds, at an average price of about $61,750 per bitcoin.
