MicroStrategy Inc. (NASDAQ: MSTR), a major long-term Bitcoin (BTC) investor, has announced the pricing of its convertible senior notes due in 2028. While the company had announced plans to raise $700 million, the firm has since raised the target to $875 million and an additional $135 million, which is meant for the initial purchasers.
The company expects to close the offering by Thursday, September 19, 2024. Net proceeds are projected at approximately $864.1 million, or up to $997.4 million if initial buyers opt for the extra purchase.
“MicroStrategy intends to use the net proceeds from the offering to redeem all $500.0 million outstanding aggregate principal amount of MicroStrategy’s 6.125 percent Senior Secured Notes due 2028 and to use any balance of the net proceeds to acquire additional bitcoin and for general corporate purposes,”

Additionally, the company said that it had acquired 18,300 BTCs, for $1.11 billion, between August 6 and September 12. As a result, MicroStrategy holds a total of 244.8k Bitcoins, worth more than $14 billion.
