See Note 18, Subsequent Events , to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information. (9) Prior to the respective dates, the Convertible Notes are convertible only under the following circumstances: (a) during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on March 31, 2021 for the 2025 Convertible Notes (of which all then outstanding notes were redeemed on July 15, 2024 ), on June 30, 2021 for the 2027 Convertible Notes, on June 30, 2024 for the 2030 Convertible Notes and 2031 Convertible Notes, on September 30, 2024 for the 2032 Convertible Notes, on December 31, 2024 for the 2028 Convertible Notes, o r on March 31, 2025 for the 2029 Convertible Notes (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of the Company’s class A common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130 % of the conversion price of the respective Convertible Notes on each applicable trading day; (b) during the five business day period after any five consecutive trading day period (the “measurement period”) in which the “trading price” (as defined under each applicable indenture governing the respective Convertible Notes) per $ 1,000 principal amount of the respective Convertible Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98 % of the product of the last reported sale price of the Company’s class A common stock and the applicable conversion rate on each such trading day; (c) if the Company calls any or all of the respective Convertible Notes for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the redemption date; and (d) upon occurrence of specified corporate events as described in each applicable indenture governing the respective Convertible Notes. (10) The Company may redeem for cash all or a portion of the Convertible Notes at its option, on or after the stated dates, if the last reported sale price of the Company’s class A common stock has been at least 130 % of the conversion price of the respective Convertible Notes then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive), including the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides a notice of redemption, during any 30 consecutive trading day period ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides notice of redemption. The redemption price will be equal to 100 % of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. See below “Conversions and Redemption of 2025 Convertible Notes” subsection for information regarding the Company’s notice of redemption of the 2025 Convertible Notes. (11) “Redemption Date” for the 2025 Convertible Notes is the date on which the Company redeemed all outstanding 2025 Convertible Notes. See discussion further below under “Conversions and Redemption of 2025 Convertible Notes” pertaining to redemption of the 2025 Convertible Notes. “Redemption Date” for the 2027 Convertible Notes is the date on which the Company will redeem all outstanding 2027 Convertible Notes, as discussed under Note 18, Subsequent Events , to the Consolidated Financial Statements. If the Company undergoes a “fundamental change,” as defined in the respective indentures governing the Convertible Notes prior to maturity, subject to certain conditions, holders may require the Company to repurchase for cash all or any portion of their respective Convertible Notes at a fundamental change repurchase price equal to 100 % of the principal amount of the respective Convertible Notes to be repurchased, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date. The respective indentures governing the Convertible Notes contain customary terms and covenants, including that upon certain events of default occurring and continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of at least 25 % in principal amount outstanding of the respective Convertible Notes may declare 100 % of the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, all the respective Convertible Notes to be due and payable. Although the Convertible Notes contain embedded conversion features, the Company accounts for the Convertible Notes in their entirety as a liability because the conversion features are indexed to the Company’s class A common stock and meet the criteria for classification in stockholders’ equity and therefore do not qualify for separate derivative accounting. Conversions and Redemption of 2025 Convertible Notes On June 13, 2024, the Company announced that it delivered a notice of redemption (the “Redemption Notice”) to the trustee of 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”). Due to the Company’s issuance of the Redemption Notice, the 2025 Convertible Notes became convertible at the option of the holders of such notes from the delivery of the Redemption Notice until 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on July 11, 2024. The Company elected to satisfy its conversion obligation with respect to the 2025 Convertible Notes by delivering solely shares of its class A common stock, together with cash in lieu of any fractional shares. Holders of the 2025 Convertible Notes requested to convert $ 649.7 million in principal amount of the 2025 Convertible Notes prior to the Redemption Date, for which the Company issued 16,323,050 shares of the Company’s class A common stock and paid a nominal amount of cash in lieu of fraction shares upon settlement of such conversion requests, in accordance with the terms and provisions of the indenture governing the 2025 Convertible Notes. On the Redemption Date, the Company redeemed $ 0.3 million aggregate principal amount of 2025 Convertible Notes, constituting all of the 2025 Convertible Notes then outstanding, at an aggregate redemption price of $ 0.3 million in cash, equal to 100 % of the principal amount of the 2025 Convertible Notes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, to but excluding the Redemption Date. Collective Convertible Notes Disclosures As of December 31, 2024 , the maximum number of shares into which the Convertible Notes could have been potentially converted if the conversion features were triggered at the conversion rates then in effect based on the Convertible Notes then outstanding on such date was 7,330,050 shares, 5,513,489 share s, 4,461,600 shares, 5,341,600 shares, 2,594,314 shares, and 3,915,200 shares for the 2027 Convertible Notes, 2028 Convertible Notes, 2029 Convertible Notes, 2030 Co nvertible Notes, 2031 Convertible Notes, and 2032 Convertible Notes, respectively. Other than the 2025 Convertible Notes (which were convertible during the first quarter of 2022, the first and second quarters of 2024, and upon the Company’s issuance of the Redemption Notice in June 2024 as discussed above under the “Conversions and Redemption of 2025 Convertible Notes” subsection), the Convertible Notes were not convertible at the option of the holders during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022. The Convertible Notes may be convertible in future periods if one or more of the conversion conditions is satisfied during future measurement periods. As of December 31, 2024 , the last reported sale price of the Company’s class A common stock for at least 20 trading days during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, December 31, 2024 was greater than or equal to 130 % of the conversion price of each of the 2027 Convertible Notes, 2028 Convertible Notes, 2030 Convertible Notes, 2031 Convertible Notes, and 2032 Convertible Notes on each applicable trading day. Therefore, the 2027 Convertible Notes, 2028 Convertible Notes, 2030 Convertible Notes, 2031 Convertible Notes, and 2032 Convertible Notes are convertible at the option of the holders of the respective Convertible Notes during the first quarter of 2025. As a result of the notice of redemption delivered January 24, 2025 to holders of the 2027 Convertible Notes, the 2027 Convertible Notes are convertible at any time thereafter until 5:00pm New York City time, on February 20, 2025.

Senior Secured Notes On June 14, 2021, the Company issued $ 500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2028 Secured Notes. The 2028 Secured Notes were sold under a purchase agreement, dated as of June 8, 2021, entered into by and among the Company, MicroStrategy Services Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Guarantor”), and Jefferies LLC, for resale to qualified institutional buyers. The terms of the 2028 Secured Notes were governed by an indenture, dated as of June 14, 2021 (the “2028 Secured Notes Indenture”), among the Company, the Guarantor, and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee and collateral agent. The 2028 Secured Notes were unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior secured basis by the Guarantor and certain subsidiaries of the Company (excluding MacroStrategy) (collectively, the “Subsidiary Guarantors”). The 2028 Secured Notes bore interest at a fixed rate of 6.125 % per annum, payable semiannually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning on December 15, 2021 . The 2028 Secured Notes had a stated maturity date of June 15, 2028, unless earlier redeemed or repurchased in accordance with their terms and subject to a springing maturity date of September 15, 2025 or November 16, 2026 under certain conditions outlined in the 2028 Secured Notes Indenture. The springing maturity feature was not triggered while the 2028 Secured Notes were outstanding. The Company redeemed all of the 2028 Secured Notes on September 26, 2024 at a redemption price equal to 103.063 % of the principal amount of the 2028 Secured Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, September 26, 2024 (the “Redemption Price”). The Redemption Price consisted of a $ 515.3 million payment to redeem the full $ 500.0 million outstanding principal amount of the 2028 Secured Notes as of September 26, 2024 and an $ 8.6 million payment for accrued unpaid interest on the 2028 Secured Notes to but excluding September 26, 2024. The Company also incurred $ 0.1 million in third party fees in connection with the redemption of the 2028 Secured Notes. The net carrying value of the 2028 Secured Notes as of September 26, 2024, immediately prior to their redemption, was $ 492.5 million, which resulted in a $ 22.9 million loss on debt extinguishment recognized in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations in the third quarter of 2024. While outstanding, the 2028 Secured Notes were secured, on a senior secured basis with the Company’s existing and future senior indebtedness, by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the Company’s and the Subsidiary Guarantors’ assets (the “Collateral”). The Collateral included any bitcoins or other digital assets acquired by the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor on or after June 14, 2021. As of December 31, 2023, approximately 16,081 of the bitcoins held by the Company served as part of the Collateral.

The Company incurred approximately $ 12.8 million in customary offering expenses associated with the 2028 Secured Notes. The Company accounted for these issuance costs as a reduction to the principal amount of the 2028 Secured Notes and amortized the issuance costs to interest expense over the contractual term of the 2028 Secured Notes at an effective interest rate of 6.58 %. As of December 31, 2023, the net carrying value of the 2028 Secured Notes was classified as a long-term liability in the “Long-term debt, net” line item in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Secured Term Loan On March 23, 2022, MacroStrategy, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Credit and Security Agreement (the “Credit and Security Agreement”) with Silvergate pursuant to which Silvergate issued the $ 205.0 million 2025 Secured Term Loan to MacroStrategy. 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 2025 Secured Term Loan and all other obligations under the Credit and Security Agreement. Upon Silvergate’s receipt of the Payoff Amount on March 24, 2023, the Credit and Security Agreement was terminated and Silvergate released its security interest in all of MacroStrategy’s assets collateralizing the 2025 Secured Term Loan, including the bitcoin that was serving as collateral. The Payoff Amount consisted of a $ 159.9 million payment to repay the full $ 205.0 million outstanding principal amount of the 2025 Secured Term Loan as of March 24, 2023 and a $ 1.1 million payment for accrued unpaid interest on the 2025 Secured Term Loan as of March 24, 2023. The Company also incurred $ 0.1 million in third party fees in connection with the repayment of the 2025 Secured Term Loan. The net carrying value of the 2025 Secured Term Loan as of March 24, 2023, immediately prior to the loan’s repayment, was $ 204.7 million, which resulted in a $ 44.7 million gain on debt extinguishment recognized in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations in the first quarter of 2023. Prior to the prepayment, the 2025 Secured Term Loan was a senior secured obligation of MacroStrategy that bore 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, plus 3.70 %, with a floor of 3.75 %, with interest payable monthly in arrears beginning May 2022 .

The Company’s ability to obtain equity and debt financing is subject to market conditions and other factors outside of its control, and the Company may not be able to secure equity or debt financing in a timely manner, on favorable terms, or at all. If the Company is unable to obtain equity or debt financing, the Company could seek to use proceeds from the sale of its bitcoin to meet its obligations. Historically, the bitcoin market has been characterized by significant volatility in price, limited liquidity and trading volumes compared to sovereign currencies markets, relative anonymity, a developing regulatory landscape, potential susceptibility to market abuse and manipulation, compliance and internal control failures at exchanges, and various other risks inherent in its entirely electronic, virtual form and decentralized network.
