MicroStrategy Inc. (NASDAQ: MSTR), the $96 billion company renowned for its bold Bitcoin (BTC) strategy, has done it again. The tech giant has raised an astounding $3 billion to fund another major Bitcoin purchase.

What’s behind this aggressive bet on Bitcoin? Read on as we break down the numbers, the strategy, and the effects of this record-breaking move.

Details of the $3 Billion Fundraising

Earlier this week, MicroStrategy launched a private offering of $2.6 billion in 0% convertible senior notes due in 2029. The offering exceeded expectations, raising an additional $400 million for a total of $3 billion. These funds will be used to purchase more Bitcoin, with the transaction expected to close by the end of this week.

This follows a major acquisition earlier in the week when MicroStrategy bought 51,780 BTC, valued at approximately $4.6 billion. The company now holds 331,200 Bitcoins, making it one of the largest institutional Bitcoin investors globally.

Bitcoin’s Rally Boosts MSTR

Bitcoin’s price recently soared to an all-time high (ATH) of $99,000, fueled by increasing institutional interest. This surge also lifted MicroStrategy’s stock (MSTR), which gained over 21% in just five days, closing at around $408 on Friday, November 22.

MicroStrategy’s aggressive strategy has influenced other major firms to follow suit. For instance, MARA Holdings recently announced the closure of a $1 billion convertible debt offering at 0% interest, the largest ever for a Bitcoin mining company.

Institutional and National Adoption on the Rise

Beyond corporations, nation-states are showing increasing interest in Bitcoin, potentially marking a new era of adoption. At the same time, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs, led by BlackRock’s IBIT, have been a significant success.

Data shows that U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs now manage approximately $103.3 billion in assets, an impressive milestone within just one year of their introduction.
