In the third quarter, MicroStrategy raised $2.1 billion in capital, increasing its bitcoin holdings by 11% and reducing its annual interest expense by $24 million.

The company reported revenue of $116.1 million, but this was about 5% below market expectations of $122.66 million. The 10.3% annual decline in revenue was attributed primarily to lower product license and support revenues. Third-quarter operating expenses rose to $514.3 million due to a $412.1 million write-down on digital assets, while operating losses totaled $432.6 million. Net losses were reported as $340.2 million.
