MicroStrategy Completes $3B Convertible Notes Offering to Buy More Bitcoin

MicroStrategy Michael Saylor said it has completed an offering of 0% convertible senior notes due in 2029, raising $3 billion which will be used to purchase more Bitcoin.

The offering includes an initial $2.6 billion, with an additional $400 million issued under an option exercised by initial purchasers. The purchase was finalized on Thursday.

“$MSTR has completed a $3 billion offering of convertible notes at 0% coupon and 55% premium, with an implied strike price of $672,” posted Saylor on the social media platform X.

MicroStrategy said earlier this week it will increase its recently announced sale of $1.75 billion worth of convertible notes to $2.6 billion to upsize its already substantial Bitcoin holdings.

The software firm said it will offer convertible notes with zero per cent interest to interested buyers under rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933 as well as to non-U.S. buyers under Regulation S of the Securities Act.
