MicroStrategy says holders of the notes will have the right to require the company to repurchase all or a portion of their notes for cash on Sep. 15, 2028, adding that the notes will be convertible into cash, shares of MicroStrategy’s class A common stock, or a combination of both at the company’s discretion.
This move isn’t new for MicroStrategy, as it previously issued convertible notes in <a href="https://crypto.news/microstrategy-raise-600m-bitcoin/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">2021</a> and <a href="https://crypto.news/microstrategy-400-million-bonds-buy-bitcoin/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">2020</a> to bolster its Bitcoin holdings. As of press time, MicroStrategy and its subsidiaries hold approximately 193,000 BTC, valued at around $13 billion at current market rates.
MicroStrategy’s plan to increase its Bitcoin holdings coincides with the nearing of the largest crypto’s all-time high, currently standing at approximately $67,125, as per CoinGecko data. After the news broke, MicroStrategy’s shares soared by 23%, according to data from Google Finance.
In a mid-February <a href="https://crypto.news/microstrategy-ceo-michael-saylor-abandons-plans-to-sell-bitcoin/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">interview</a> with Bloomberg, MicroStrategy founder Michael Saylor emphasized that the company has no intention of selling any Bitcoin from its balance sheet. Saylor particularly highlighted the significant capital movement from traditional analog systems to the digital economy, amounting to “hundreds of millions of dollars.”
