The company also suggested further sale proceeds may be used to pay down debt.
Michael Seller's Micro Development Strategy (MicroStrategy) revealed that it has raised $46.6 million through individual stock market sales since it reached an agreement with lead underwriter Cowen And Company in September to sell $500m of preferred shares.
In a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Friday morning, the company also upgraded its "profit app" statement, saying that raising funds could also be used to pay off debts, including on-time loans with Silvergate Bank. The $205 million loan, which was lent in March 2022, is volatile, so the cost of the loan is getting higher as short-term interest rates rise at the Fed meeting.
The Silvergate loan is due to expire in March 2025, and there is indeed a penalty for early repayment, but the penalty in March 2023 was halved to only 0.25% of the principal balance.
MicroStrategy previously used most of the proceeds from the share sale to enhance BTC (BTC).
