• With holdings worth $13 billion, MicroStrategy remains the top corporate Bitcoin holder.

MicroStrategy, a leading corporate investor in Bitcoin (BTC), is gearing up to raise $600 million through a private offering to bolster its Bitcoin holdings.

MicroStrategy Convertible Notes Offered for Bitcoin Acquisition

The move follows the announcement of a convertible senior note offering aimed at financing further Bitcoin purchases, causing the company’s shares to dip during extended trading on Monday.

The funds from the offering, detailed in a March 4 statement, will be issued in the form of senior convertible notes and directed towards acquiring more Bitcoin. This strategic maneuver aligns with MicroStrategy‘s ongoing efforts to fortify its position in the cryptocurrency market, notably amidst the recent surge in demand for spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds and heightened activity in the crypto derivatives market.

The MicroStrategy convertible notes, set to mature in 2030, will be offered to qualified institutional buyers, with an option for initial purchasers to acquire an additional $90 million aggregate principal amount of notes within a specified timeframe.

Interest on the MicroStrategy convertible notes will be payable semi-annually, with maturity scheduled for March 15, 2030, unless redeemed or converted earlier.

Investor Confidence Soars as MicroStrategy Shares Surge

MicroStrategy’s aggressive stance in accumulating Bitcoin, led by its co-founder Michael Saylor, has propelled the company’s shares, which have surged by 111% year-to-date. The firm’s Bitcoin holdings, now valued at around $13 billion, reflect its strategic approach to hedge against inflation and leverage the cryptocurrency’s potential.

As Coincu reported, MicroStrategy revealed the acquisition of approximately 3,000 Bitcoins for $155.4 million, reinforcing its commitment to Bitcoin investment. As of February 25, the company held about 193,000 Bitcoins, acquired at an average price of $31,544 each.

With Bitcoin edging closer to its all-time high of $69,000, MicroStrategy’s latest funding initiative underscores its bullish outlook on the digital asset and its dedication to expanding its cryptocurrency portfolio.
