MicroStrategy CFO Andrew Kang also highlighted how the company has grown its BTC stash over the years, while also touching on the year-to-date BTC yield.
“Q3 2024 was another transformational quarter for MicroStrategy, as we raised $2.1 billion in equity and debt. Our proven track record of using intelligent leverage serves as the foundation to execute our strategic three-year 21/21 Plan.
Through our treasury strategy, we increased our bitcoin holdings by 11% in the quarter, increased our year-to-date BTC Yield to 17.8%, and reduced our total annualized interest expense by $24 million,” said Andrew Kang, Chief Financial Officer, MicroStrategy.
