MicroStrategy® Incorporated (Nasdaq: MSTR) (“MicroStrategy” or the “Company”), the largest corporate holder of bitcoin and the world’s first bitcoin development company, today announced financial results for the three-month period ended June 30, 2024 (the second quarter of its 2024 fiscal year).
“After yet another successful quarter for our bitcoin strategy, MicroStrategy today holds 226,500 bitcoins reflecting a current market value 70% higher than our cost basis. We remain laser focused on our Bitcoin development strategy and intend to continue to achieve positive “BTC Yield,” which is a new KPI that we are introducing, targeting 4-8% annually, over each of the next three years. On the adoption front, we are extremely optimistic with the improved understanding of bitcoin and the increasing support for the ecosystem from bipartisan politicians and institutions on display at the Bitcoin 2024 Conference in Nashville. We also continue to see increased global adoption of our cloud-powered BI and AI software, achieving another quarter of strong double-digit growth in both subscription revenue and subscription billings,” said Phong Le, President and Chief Executive Officer, MicroStrategy.
“In Q2, we successfully raised an additional $800 million through our offering of 2.25% convertible senior notes due 2032 and called for redemption our $650 million convertible senior notes due 2025. Since the beginning of Q2, we grew our bitcoin holdings by adding 12,222 bitcoins through proceeds from our capital markets activities and excess cash. Additionally, we announced a 10-for-1 stock split earlier this month. We continue to closely manage our equity capital, and are filing a registration statement for a new $2 billion at-the-market equity offering program. Through our use of intelligent leverage, we have again achieved a “BTC Yield” of 12.2% year-to-date, which we believe demonstrates significant bitcoin accretion to shareholders,” said Andrew Kang, Chief Financial Officer, MicroStrategy.
The Company previously announced that its board of directors had declared a 10-for-1 stock split of the Company’s class A common stock and class B common stock. The stock split will be effected by means of a stock dividend to the holders of record of the Company’s class A common stock and class B common stock as of the close of business on August 1, 2024, the record date for the dividend. The dividend is expected to be distributed after the close of trading on August 7, 2024. Trading is expected to commence on a split-adjusted basis at market open on August 8, 2024. All information contained herein is presented on a pre-split basis.
Second Quarter 2024 Financial Highlights
Bitcoin Yield KPI: BTC Yield is a key performance indicator (“KPI”) that represents the % change period-to-period of the ratio between the Company’s bitcoin holdings and its Assumed Diluted Shares Outstanding. Assumed Diluted Shares Outstanding refers to the aggregate of the Company’s actual shares of common stock outstanding as of the end of the applicable period plus all additional shares that would result from the assumed conversion of all outstanding convertible notes, exercise of all outstanding stock option awards, and settlement of all outstanding restricted stock units and performance stock units. The Company uses BTC Yield as a KPI to help assess the performance of its strategy of acquiring bitcoin in a manner the Company believes is accretive to shareholders. The Company believes this KPI can be used to supplement an investor’s understanding of the Company’s decision to fund the purchase of bitcoin by issuing additional shares of its common stock or instruments convertible to common stock. Year-to-date 2024, the Company’s BTC Yield is 12.2%. The Company is targeting to achieve an annual BTC Yield of 4-8% from 2025-2027.
Digital Assets: As of June 30, 2024, the carrying value of the Company’s digital assets (comprised of approximately 226,331 bitcoins) was $5.688 billion, which reflects cumulative impairment losses of $2.641 billion since acquisition and an average carrying amount per bitcoin of approximately $25,131. As of June 30, 2024, the original cost basis and market value of the Company’s bitcoin were $8.329 billion and $14.016 billion, respectively, which reflects an average cost per bitcoin of approximately $36,798 and a market price per bitcoin of $61,926.69, respectively.
Issuance of 2032 Convertible Notes: In June 2024, the Company issued $800.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2.250% Convertible Senior Notes due 2032 (the “2032 Convertible Notes”) with an initial conversion price of $2,043.32 per share of class A common stock.
Redemption and Conversions of 2025 Convertible Notes: On June 13, 2024, the Company announced that it delivered a notice of redemption to the trustee of its 0.750% Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 (the “2025 Convertible Notes”) for redemption of all $650.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Convertible Notes then outstanding on July 15, 2024 (the “Redemption Date”). The holders of substantially all of the 2025 Convertible Notes converted such notes into shares of our class A common stock prior to the Redemption Date.
Revenues: Total revenues were $111.4 million, a 7.4% decrease, or a 6.9% decrease on a non-GAAP constant currency basis, compared to the second quarter of 2023. Subscription Services Revenues were $24.1 million, a 21.1% increase, or a 21.8% increase on a non-GAAP constant currency basis, compared to the second quarter of 2023. Product licenses and subscription services revenues were $33.4 million, a 5.7% decrease, or a 5.3% decrease on a non-GAAP constant currency basis, compared to the second quarter of 2023. Product support revenues were $61.7 million, a 6.6% decrease, or a 6.0% decrease on a non-GAAP constant currency basis, compared to the second quarter of 2023. Other services revenues were $16.3 million, a 13.7% decrease, or a 12.9% decrease on a non-GAAP constant currency basis, compared to the second quarter of 2023.
Gross Profit: Gross profit was $80.5 million, representing a 72.2% gross margin, compared to $93.3 million, representing a gross margin of 77.5%, for the second quarter of 2023.
Operating Expenses: Operating expenses were $280.8 million, a 134.0% increase compared to the second quarter of 2023. Operating expenses include impairment losses on the Company’s digital assets, which were $180.1 million during the second quarter of 2024, compared to $24.1 million in the second quarter of 2023.
Loss from Operations and Net (Loss) Income: Loss from operations was $200.3 million, compared to $26.7 million for the second quarter of 2023. Net loss was $102.6 million, or $5.74 per share on a diluted basis, as compared to a net income of $22.2 million, or $1.52 per share on a diluted basis, for the second quarter of 2023. Digital asset impairment losses of $180.1 million and $24.1 million for the second quarter of 2024 and 2023, respectively, were reflected in these amounts.
Cash and Cash Equivalents: As of June 30, 2024, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $66.9 million, as compared to $46.8 million as of December 31, 2023, an increase of $20.1 million.
The tables provided at the end of this press release include a reconciliation of the most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) to non-GAAP financial measures for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. An explanation of non-GAAP financial measures is also included under the heading “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below. Additional non-GAAP financial measures are included in MicroStrategy’s “Q2 2024 Earnings Presentation,” which will be available under the “Events and Presentations” section of MicroStrategy’s investor relations website at https://www.microstrategy.com/en/investor-relations.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
MicroStrategy is providing supplemental financial measures for (i) non-GAAP loss from operations that excludes the impact of share-based compensation expense, (ii) non-GAAP net (loss) income and non-GAAP diluted (loss) earnings per share that exclude the impacts of share-based compensation expense, interest expense arising from the amortization of debt issuance costs related to MicroStrategy’s long-term debt, gain on debt extinguishment, and related income tax effects, and (iii) non-GAAP constant currency revenues that exclude certain foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. These supplemental financial measures are not measurements of financial performance under GAAP and, as a result, these supplemental financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally to help understand, manage, and evaluate business performance and to help make operating decisions.
MicroStrategy believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are also useful to investors and analysts in comparing its performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis. The first supplemental financial measure excludes a significant non-cash expense that MicroStrategy believes is not reflective of its general business performance, and for which the accounting requires management judgment and the resulting share-based compensation expense could vary significantly in comparison to other companies. The second set of supplemental financial measures excludes the impacts of (i) share-based compensation expense, (ii) non-cash interest expense arising from the amortization of debt issuance costs related to MicroStrategy’s long-term debt, (iii) a gain on debt extinguishment, and (iv) related income tax effects. The third set of supplemental financial measures excludes changes resulting from certain fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates so that results may be compared to the same period in the prior year on a non-GAAP constant currency basis. MicroStrategy believes the use of these non-GAAP financial measures can also facilitate comparison of MicroStrategy’s operating results to those of its competitors.
Important Information about BTC Yield KPI
BTC Yield is a key performance indicator (“KPI”) that represents the % change period-to-period of the ratio between the Company’s bitcoin holdings and its Assumed Diluted Shares Outstanding. Assumed Diluted Shares Outstanding refers to the aggregate of the Company’s actual shares of common stock outstanding as of the end of each period plus all additional shares that would result from the assumed conversion of all outstanding convertible notes, exercise of all outstanding stock option awards, and settlement of all outstanding restricted stock units and performance stock units. Assumed Diluted Shares Outstanding is not calculated using the treasury method and does not take into account any vesting conditions (in the case of equity awards), the exercise price of any stock option awards or any contractual conditions limiting convertibility of convertible debt instruments.
The Company uses BTC Yield as a KPI to help assess the performance of its strategy of acquiring bitcoin in a manner the Company believes is accretive to shareholders. The Company believes this KPI can be used to supplement an investor’s understanding of its decision to fund the purchase of bitcoin by issuing additional shares of its common stock or instruments convertible to common stock. When the Company uses this KPI, management also takes into account the various limitations of this metric, including that it does not take into account debt and other liabilities and claims on company assets that would be senior to common equity and that it assumes that all indebtedness will be refinanced or, in the case of the Company’s senior convertible debt instruments, converted into shares of common stock in accordance with their respective terms.
Additionally, this KPI is not, and should not be understood as, an operating performance measure or a financial or liquidity measure. In particular, BTC Yield is not equivalent to “yield” in the traditional financial context. It is not a measure of the return on investment the Company’s shareholders may have achieved historically or can achieve in the future by purchasing stock of the Company, or a measure of income generated by the Company’s operations or its bitcoin holdings, return on investment on its bitcoin holdings, or any other similar financial measure of the performance of its business or assets.
The trading price of the Company’s class A common stock is informed by numerous factors in addition to the amount of bitcoins the Company holds and number of actual or potential shares of its stock outstanding, and as a result, the market value of the Company’s shares may trade at a discount or a premium relative to the market value of the bitcoin the Company holds, and BTC Yield is not indicative nor predictive of the trading price of the Company’s shares of class A common stock.
As noted above, this KPI is narrow in its purpose and is used by management to assist it in assessing whether the Company is using equity capital in a manner accretive to shareholders solely as it pertains to its bitcoin holdings.
In calculating this KPI, the Company does not take into account the source of capital used for the acquisition of its bitcoin. The Company notes in particular, it has acquired bitcoin using proceeds from the offerings of its 6.125% Senior Secured Notes due 2028 (the “Senior Secured Notes”) as well as convertible senior notes, which currently are not exercisable or have conversion prices above the current trading prices of the Class A common stock, each of which would have the effect of increasing the BTC Yield without taking into account the corresponding debt. Conversely, if any of the Company’s convertible senior notes mature or are redeemed without being converted into common stock or the Company needs cash to repay the Senior Secured Notes, the Company may be required to sell shares in quantities greater than the shares such notes are convertible into or generate cash proceeds from the sale of bitcoin, either of which would have the effect of decreasing the BTC Yield due to changes in the Company’s bitcoin holdings and shares in ways that were not contemplated by the assumptions in calculating BTC Yield. Accordingly, this metric might overstate or understate the accretive nature of the Company’s use of equity capital to buy bitcoin because not all bitcoin may be acquired using proceeds of equity offerings and not all issuances of equity may involve the acquisition of bitcoin.
The Company determines its KPI targets based on its history and future goals. The Company’s ability to achieve positive BTC Yield may depend on a variety of factors, including its ability to generate cash from operations in excess of its fixed charges and other expenses, as well as factors outside of its control, such as the availability of debt and equity financing on favorable terms. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
The Company has historically not paid any dividends on its shares of common stock, and by presenting this KPI the Company makes no suggestion that it intends to do so in the future. Ownership of common stock does not represent an ownership interest in the bitcoin the Company holds.
Investors should rely on the financial statements and other disclosures contained in the Company’s SEC filings. This KPI is merely a supplement, not a substitute. It should be used only by sophisticated investors who understand its limited purpose and many limitations.
