Microstrategy has been relatively quiet during Q2 and Q3 of 2022. Over a period of 6 months, they “only” bought 781 Bitcoin for a total of $16 million. Activity picked up in Q4 2022.
The current quarter is almost over and Saylor managed to get two deals done:
- Buy another batch of Bitcoin for $150 million
- Get a great deal for repaying a loan from Silvergate early
Silvergate Deal
Per Form 8-K disclosure, the company managed to take advantage of Silvergate’s current troubles and repay a loan early while also securing a discount of $44 million on a loan of $205 million.
Quotes from the filing:
Silvergate issued a $205.0 million term loan (the “Loan”) to MacroStrategy. The Loan had a scheduled maturity date of March 23, 2025, and bore interest at a floating rate equal to the SOFR 30 Day Average as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York’s website plus 3.70%, with a floor of 3.75%. As of March 24, 2023, the floating rate equaled 8.27%.
and
On March 24, 2023, MacroStrategy and Silvergate entered into a Prepayment, Waiver and Payoff to Credit and Security Agreement, pursuant to which MacroStrategy voluntarily prepaid Silvergate approximately $161.0 million (the “Payoff Amount”), in full repayment, satisfaction, and discharge of the Loan and all other obligations under the Credit Agreement.
