Micro Strategy Plan to raise $42 billion over the next three years to purchase more Bitcoin
MicroStrategy, the publicly traded company with the largest holdings of Bitcoin worldwide, announced its third quarter financial report on Wednesday, highlighting a 5.1% increase in its BTC yield and a new plan to raise $42 billion in capital.
Micro Strategy has announced its "21/21 Plan" with the goal of raising $42 billion over the next three years, of which $21 billion will be raised through equity and the remaining $21 billion will be raised through fixed income securities. The plan aims to support further purchases of Bitcoin as part of its financial reserve strategy.
Financial report status
As of September 30th, Micro Strategy holds approximately 252220 bitcoins with a market value of approximately $16 billion. The company reported a BTC yield of 17.8% year to date, which is a metric used by the company to evaluate the performance of its Bitcoin strategy.
In the third quarter, Micro Strategy raised $2.1 billion through equity and debt financing, increased Bitcoin holdings by 11%, and reduced annual interest expenses by $24 million. The company's total revenue for this quarter was $116 million, lower than market estimates by approximately $8 million, a decrease of 10.3% compared to the same period last year, mainly due to a decline in product licensing and support revenue.
The operating expenses for the third quarter reached $514.3 million, mainly due to a $412 million impairment loss on digital assets, resulting in an operating loss of $432.6 million. The quarterly net loss was $340.2 million, or a diluted loss of $1.72 per share. According to Yahoo Finance, the total market value of micro strategies before the deadline is $50.1 billion.
21/21 Plan
Looking ahead, Micro Strategy has adjusted its BTC yield target for 2025-2027 to between 6% and 10%, reflecting a more cautious outlook amidst market volatility. The company has announced a new mark to market stock issuance plan, with a maximum amount of $21 billion, which will be used to acquire more Bitcoin and enhance shareholder value.
President and CEO Phong Le said, "The third quarter is another critical quarter for us. Our focus remains on leveraging digital assets to drive shareholder value, and our 21/21 plan sets a clear path for future growth
