Item 5.  Other Events.

     On June 19, 2002, the maturity date of the Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock (the "Series A Preferred Shares") of MicroStrategy Incorporated (the
"Company"), all 650 outstanding Series A Preferred Shares were converted into an
aggregate of 4,948,805 shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock. The number
of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of each Series A
Preferred Share was determined by dividing the sum of $10,000 plus accrued and
unpaid dividends by the applicable conversion price. The applicable conversion
price was equal to 95% of the average of the dollar-volume weighted average
price of the Class A Common Stock on each trading day during the 30 consecutive
trading days immediately preceding June 19, 2002, or $1.3336. Dividends on the
Series A Preferred Shares accrued at a rate of 7% per annum and were unpaid for
the period beginning from April 1, 2002 through the maturity date of June 19,
2002.

     A detailed description of the rights, preferences and terms of the Series A
Preferred Shares is contained in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed
with the SEC on June 19, 2000 and the exhibits to such report.
