The move signals the company’s continued commitment to its aggressive Bitcoin accumulation strategy, which it has pursued since 2020.
In a recent press release, MicroStrategy revealed that it intends to utilize the proceeds from the offering to acquire more Bitcoin, aligning with its long-standing strategy. The offering comprises 0.875% convertible senior notes due 2031, priced in a private offering to qualified institutional buyers. These notes will be sold at 100% of the principal amount with an annual interest rate of 0.875%, payable semiannually.

Notably, holders of the notes will have the option to require MicroStrategy to repurchase them at 100% of the principal amount plus interest on September 15, 2028, or upon certain events constituting a fundamental change. Additionally, after March 2028, the company can redeem the notes in cash at 100% of the principal plus accrued interest if specific conditions are met.
The notes will be convertible into cash, shares of MS’s class A common stock, or a combination of both, at the company’s discretion. MicroStrategy estimates that the net proceeds of the offering will be approximately $515 million after fees and expenses.
CEO Michael Saylor’s aggressive Bitcoin accumulation strategy has positioned the company as a major player in the cryptocurrency space. With holdings exceeding 200,000 bitcoins valued at over $13 billion, MicroStrategy aims to solidify its position as the world’s first “Bitcoin development company,” according to Saylor. The company’s actions reflect a broader trend of growing corporate interest in Bitcoin as an emerging asset class and treasury asset, offering potential hedging opportunities against debasement and inflation.
