It would appear from the latest Form 8-K to emerge from Tysons Corner, along with the accompanying press release, that Micro/MacroStrategy have got their hands on some fresh moola.
Is this kind of tortuous financial agreement common, or does it suggest that Michael et al are beginning to struggle with borrowing money in a more conventional manner?
On March 23, 2022 (the “Closing Date”), MacroStrategy LLC (the “Borrower” or “MacroStrategy”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of MicroStrategy Incorporated (the “Company” or “MicroStrategy”), entered into a Credit and Security Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Silvergate Bank (the “Lender”) pursuant to which the Lender issued a $205.0 million term loan (the “Loan”) to the Borrower.
The net proceeds from the Loan were approximately $204.7 million after deducting closing fees and expenses payable by MacroStrategy. Under the terms of the Agreement, MacroStrategy will use the Loan proceeds (i) to purchase bitcoins, (ii) to pay fees, interest, and expenses related to the Loan transaction, or (iii) for MacroStrategy’s or the Company’s general corporate purposes. The Loan matures on March 23, 2025, and bears interest at a floating rate equal to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate 30 Day Average as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York’s website (0.099% as of the Closing Date) plus 3.70%, with a floor of 3.75%. The Borrower is required to pay interest on the Loan monthly in arrears, with the full principal balance due at maturity. The Loan may be prepaid at any time, subject to prepayment
premiums of 0.50% and 0.25% of the Loan amount prepaid for prepayments during years one and two of the Loan term, respectively.
In accordance with the terms of the Agreement, the Loan was collateralized at closing by bitcoin with a value of approximately $820.0 million placed in a collateral account with a custodian mutually authorized by the Lender and the Borrower (the “Bitcoin Account”). While the Loan is outstanding, the Borrower is required to maintain a Loan to collateral value ratio (“LTV Ratio”) of 50% or less, which would amount to at least $410.0 million worth of bitcoin being required to be held in such account assuming the full $205.0 million of Loan principal remains outstanding. If the price of bitcoin drops such that the LTV Ratio exceeds 50%, the Borrower is required to either deposit additional bitcoin in the Bitcoin Account or prepay a portion of the Loan such that the LTV Ratio is reduced to 25% or less (or 35% or less, provided that in such case the interest rate on the Loan will be increased by 25 basis points until such time as the LTV Ratio is reduced to 25% or less). If at any time the LTV Ratio is less than 25% as a result of excess collateral in the Bitcoin Account, the Borrower is entitled to a return of such excess collateral so long as the LTV Ratio would not exceed 25% after giving effect to such return. Separate and apart from the requirements associated with the LTV Ratio, the Borrower established a $5.0 million cash reserve account (the “Reserve Account”) with the Lender to serve as additional collateral for the Loan. The Borrower is required to maintain at least $5.0 million in the Reserve Account until the last six months of the Loan term, at which time funds in the Reserve Account may be used to make interest payments on the Loan at the Borrower’s request, with the amount required to be held in the Reserve Account correspondingly reduced to the extent such payments are made. The collateral for the Loan does not extend beyond assets in the Bitcoin Account and the Reserve Account.
Good work Raffe!

I have yet to properly understand what the point of a stable coin is apart from easing transactions on exchanges and giving exchanges the ability to print their own money.
What would the point of a UK government issue stable coin pegged to the GBP - isn't that what a GBP already is?
It’ll never catch on, this crypto nonsense…
There is no other point if you are serious about the stable coin. Unless you are creating a funny unbacked asset in order to defraud the lemmings, but who would do that?
Uncertain, but not complete nonsense as long as it's backed by real GBPs in escrow - which would make it a real stablecoin rather than, well you know what.

By my calculations the 4,167 BTC that he/MicroStrategy announced the purchase of earlier in the week are currently standing $3K+ down apiece, whilst the monthly interest being paid for the cash to fund them has already increased. Early (short term) days I know, however hardly a dream start. I can feel a chart coming on.

Which one(s) do you display?
I see plenty of conspiracy and fomo in this thread.
Apparently bitcoin fixes this.

I see all of the above on this thread, this forum in general, and life
Market cant make its mind up!! Still....waayyy down from this time last year!!
I transferred a fairly significant amount of Bitcoin to another wallet a few days ago, in two separate transactions. Time taken: 4 minutes. Cost: $1.60
No external parties or permissions required. This technology still leaves me astounded to be honest

Yeah but my wallet is with me the other one could be anywhere in the world. Also, if either your bank or the recipient bank had decided for any reason not to carry out your instructions the transfer would not have completed
You are completely at their mercy. I had no such worries
Whilst I accept your views on the value of Bitcoin, the value in the technology is astounding
