In the latest development, MicroStrategy has disclosed that it has upsized and priced its previously announced private offering of convertible senior notes. Initially set at $1.75 billion, the offering has now been increased to $2.6 billion in 0% convertible senior notes due in 2029. Additionally, the company has granted initial purchasers an option to buy up to $400 million more in notes within three days of issuance. The offering is expected to close on November 21, 2024, subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

The company, which purchased $4.6 billion worth of BTC last week, plans to use a major portion of the funds from the new bond issuance to buy more BTC. Notably, this news has further fortified Bitcoin, potentially breaching the 100,000 level in the upcoming days. 

Notably, the $2.6 billion offer is meant for qualified institutional buyers and is expected to close on November 21, 2024, with net proceeds estimated at approximately $2.58 billion, or $2.97 billion if the option for additional notes is exercised in full. MicroStrategy plans to use the proceeds to purchase more Bitcoin and for general corporate purposes.
