MicroStrategy, a prominent enterprise analytics and Bitcoin investment firm, has revealed plans to issue $700 million in convertible senior notes due in 2028 through a private placement.
This move is designed to attract institutional investors under Rule 144A of the Securities Act.
An additional $105 million in notes may be purchased by initial buyers within 13 days of the primary offering.
These unsecured senior notes will offer semiannual interest payments starting March 2025 and will mature in September 2028, with options for early redemption, repurchase, or conversion.
The notes can be converted into cash, shares of MicroStrategy’s Class A common stock, or a combination of both, based on market conditions. Redemption options will be available starting in late 2027.
The proceeds from this offering will be used to redeem $500 million of existing senior secured notes and to acquire additional Bitcoin or support other corporate initiatives.
Bitcoin may be entering a typical summer correction phase, according to a July 25 report by crypto financial services firm Matrixport.
Bitcoin has dropped sharply to test its local range low near $115,000, with analysts pointing to renewed whale activity and long-dormant supply movements as key contributors to the decline.
Bitcoin has reached a critical milestone in its programmed supply timeline—only 5.25% of the total BTC that will ever exist remains to be mined.
The classic four-year crypto market cycle—long driven by Bitcoin halvings and boom-bust investor behavior—is losing relevance, according to Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan.
