Great callout,
@charlesodeiiii ! Agreed, showing a SPS decline is certainly a bummer and hopefully it's a very rare occurrence.
Ultimately, this is a timing issue, and we think it's important to look at SPS growth over the trailing 3M (we show 2M bc 3M would be like a bajillion % rn) and 12M rather than 1 day or even 1 week.
To dig deeper, the reason it happened was as you mentioned, some of the earlier convertible bond holders from April 7th decided to convert some. You can note the updated debt number on our website as a reference.
We unfortunately don't control when the note holders decide to convert, but this is something that's extremely beneficial to DFDV, because it eliminates the coupon payments (2.5%) and more importantly, eliminates the debt on the balance sheet.
The drop is also a function of not deploying 100% of our cash allocated to SOL buys in one day. This is to reduce our impact on the SOL market and ultimately get better execution prices. So, be on the lookout for more buys and increasing SPS.
Lastly, going forward, this should be less of an issue as the new convert was largely covered by the prepaid forward, which is effectively a share repurchase and thus keeps those shares (when converted) from entering the float.
