Leverage levels set forth above are provided for illustrative purposes only and do not reflect any current plans of the Company. Percentage amounts above refer to the mathematical outputs only based solely on the underlying assumptions and are not a projection or prediction of future bitcoin prices or underlying bitcoin net asset values. Scenarios in which the bitcoin forward price is less than $43,000 would result in a proportionate decrease in bitcoin net asset value. Bitcoin Net Asset Value = Bitcoin Holdings Market Value less Total Outstanding Debt. No change to MSTR share count, no conversion of outstanding convertible debt, ignores interest on debt for simplification of mathematical exercise, no indication on the time frame for the forward bitcoin price or debt maturity, excludes software business. Incremental leverage scenarios assume that MSTR is able to issue the additional debt and invest the proceeds in bitcoin at market prices as of February 5, 2024. 19 ו#20Strategy & Bitcoin Michael Saylor, Executive Chairman Copyright © 2024 MicroStrategy Incorporated.
