Retiring convertible notes is SUPER BULLISH.
New debt as % of EV
$6.754B ÷ $82.235B = 8.21%
So debt would fall from:
10.04% of EV → 8.21% of EV
That is a drop of 1.82 percentage points, or about an 18% reduction in debt as a share of EV.
New net leverage ratio
Before:
($8.254B - $2.250B) ÷ $64.888B = 9.25%
After:
($6.754B - $2.250B) ÷ $64.888B = 6.94%
So net leverage drops from roughly:
9.25% → 6.94%
That is a drop of 2.31 percentage points, or about a 25% reduction in net leverage.
That is extremely clean capital stack alchemy: replace convertible debt with perpetual preferred, reduce maturity pressure, lower debt leverage, and keep the Bitcoin machine alive.
