Author: Murtuza Merchant | June 13, 2024 10:14am

MicroStrategy (NASDAQ:MSTR) on Thursday announced plans to issue $500 million in convertible senior notes due in 2032.

What Happened: The proceeds from this offering will be used to acquire more Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) and fund other corporate activities, the company stated.

The proposed notes will be unsecured and senior obligations of MicroStrategy, with interest payments made semi-annually on June 15 and Dec. 15 each year, starting Dec. 15, 2024.

The offering’s completion is contingent on market conditions, and there is no certainty regarding the timing or terms.

Additionally, MicroStrategy retains the option to redeem all or part of the notes for cash beginning June 20, 2029, subject to certain conditions.

The company began its Bitcoin accumulation strategy in 2020, adopting the cryptocurrency as a reserve asset.

This announcement aligns with MicroStrategy’s ongoing commitment to expanding its Bitcoin holdings, reinforcing its position as a leader in cryptocurrency investments among publicly traded companies.
