  • “We see this as a strategic move to strengthen our balance sheet with Bitcoin,” said MicroStrategy’s CEO.

MicroStrategy has unveiled a significant expansion of its Bitcoin acquisition strategy by planning to issue $700 million in convertible notes due in 2032.

Increased Target for Note Issuance

MicroStrategy announced today that it is increasing its previously announced $500 million note issuance plan to $700 million, subject to market conditions. These notes will carry an annual interest rate of 2.25%, payable semiannually on June 15 and December 15. The issuance is expected to be completed by June 17, 2024.

Terms and Conditions of the Notes

The notes are set to transform in 2032, but MicroStrategy retains the option to redeem all or part of the notes in cash starting June 20, 2029. These notes can also be converted into cash or MicroStrategy’s common stock.

Funding Bitcoin Purchases

The company plans to utilize a significant portion of the proceeds from the sale to purchase more Bitcoin. MicroStrategy expects to net approximately $687.8 million from this issuance.

Long-Term Bitcoin Reserves Strategy

Since adopting Bitcoin as a reserve asset in August 2020, MicroStrategy has continuously increased its holdings. The company currently holds 214,400 Bitcoins, acquired at an average price of $35,180 per Bitcoin.

Investor Options and Market Potential

MicroStrategy’s new issuance plan includes an option to issue an additional $100 million in notes within a 13-day period. These notes will be exclusively sold to qualified institutional buyers and will not be offered to the public.

Conclusion

MicroStrategy’s aggressive strategy to acquire more Bitcoin showcases its commitment to leveraging cryptocurrency to fortify its financial position. As the company strategically increases its Bitcoin reserves, it continues to provide a blueprint for integrating digital assets into traditional corporate finance.
