The Tysons Corner, Virginia-based company’s MacroStrategy unit received a $205 million three-year term loan from a unit of Silvergate Bank, the firms said in a statement Tuesday. The loan is backed by collateral roughly equal to four times its size or $820 million, according to company filings. The MicroStrategy unit held about $2.5 billion in Bitcoin at the end of December, according to corporate filings. Saylor, the founder and chief executive of MicroStrategy, has been the most vocal corporate advocate of holding the cryptocurrency instead of cash in corporate treasuries. The company started buying Bitcoin for its balance sheet in August 2020, with Saylor citing the Federal Reserve’s relaxing of its inflation policy for helping to convince him to get out of cash. The loan pays 3.7 percentage points over SOFR, or the secured overnight financing rate. Assuming the full loan is outstanding, MacroStrategy is required to maintain a loan to collateral value ratio of 50% or less or at least $410 million of Bitcoin. That means if the price of Bitcoin drops far enough, MacroStrategy will have to deposit additional coins into the account or prepay a portion of the loan so that the ratio declines to 25% or less, according to company documents. MicroStrategy has returned to capital markets multiple times since the company’s foray into crypto, selling $500 million in junk bonds and tapping the convertible debt market. The company also last year filed to sell as much as $1 billion in common shares for general purposes, including the purchase of more Bitcoin. MicroStrategy hasn’t announced any Bitcoin purchase through a corporate filing since Feb. 1. Shares of MicroStrategy were little changed, while those of Silvergate parent Silvergate Capital Corp. increased 2.4%.
Yea, I don't think it's a good idea. Anyone who owns Bitcoins can do the same thing, borrow against it to buy more Bitcoins using BlockFi, Nexo, Ledn, Celsius, and others This is not the first time that Microstrategy has borrowed (and even sold stocks) to buy more Bitcoins There's a pattern which is interesting that companies are using cheap money to buy more Bitcoins Microstrategy borrowing to buy more Bitcoins Publicly listed companies not selling the Bitcoins they mine and issuing debt to buy more Terra printing crypto to buy Bitcoins for use as treasury Their message is clear, they think Bitcoin is highly undervalued which I agree with
He is so confident in his speculation that he has to pump bitcoin all the time in the media. Stubborn ego and single leveraged bet, what can go wrong?
There is Saylor tanking like a boss. Some people swear he must wipe his ass with $100 bills. Toilet paper is cheap-shit that only the rest of us use.
I'm hoping the price of MSTR stays cheap for the next 2-3 weeks. I' want to get some Call options LEAPS on MSTR after settling our tax bill from last year
