This private offering included an option exercised by initial purchasers for an additional $135 million in notes, bringing the net proceeds to approximately $997.4 million.
The software company, known for its significant investments in bitcoin, plans to use $523.8 million of the proceeds to redeem all $500 million of its outstanding 6.125% Senior Secured Notes due 2028. The redemption notice, issued on September 16, 2024, is expected to be completed by September 26, 2024, at a price of 103.063% of the principal plus accrued interest.
Upon completion of this redemption, the collateral securing these notes, including roughly 69,080 bitcoins valued at about $4.4 billion as of September 19, 2024, will be released.
As of June 30, 2024, MicroStrategy's total debt stood at $3.909 billion. Following the conversion and redemption of various notes, the company's annual interest expense is projected to decrease from $58.9 million to $34.6 million.
In addition, between September 13 and September 19, 2024, MicroStrategy acquired approximately 7,420 bitcoins for $458.2 million in cash, using proceeds from the offering. As a result, the company's total bitcoin holdings reached approximately 252,220 bitcoins, acquired at an average price of about $39,266 per bitcoin, including fees and expenses.
MicroStrategy also reported a BTC Yield, a key performance indicator, of 5.1% for the period from July 1 to September 19, 2024, and 17.8% from January 1 to September 19, 2024. This measure reflects the percentage change in the ratio of the company's bitcoin holdings to its assumed diluted shares outstanding.
