MicroStrategy Announces Big New Debt Offering to Increase Its Bitcoin (BTC) Bet

As an experienced financial analyst, I’ve closely followed MicroStrategy’s strategic bet on Bitcoin and Michael Saylor’s leadership. The latest announcement of a $500 million convertible senior notes offering to buy more Bitcoin is not surprising, given the company’s previous move in March 2024, where they raised $525 million for the same purpose.


Michael Saylor, the founder and CEO of MicroStrategy, a prominent business intelligence company, has unveiled plans for a new debt issuance aimed at securing $500 million from investors through the sale of MSTR bonds.

Based on the company’s Bitcoin-centric strategy, the community anticipates that they will invest another half a billion US dollars in purchasing more Bitcoins soon. The official announcement supports this assumption by explicitly stating that the revenue generated from selling these notes will be allocated towards Bitcoin acquisitions.

Another MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin bet

Today, Michael Saylor revealed the publication of X’s announcement concerning their latest funding round via the sale of convertible senior notes.

The company plans to issue $500 million worth of convertible senior notes maturing in 2032 for the exclusive purchase of institutional investors, in accordance with the Securities Act of 1933.

Within two weeks of making a purchase, buyers have the ability to opt for purchasing these notes. The announcement also specifies that the first issuance date for these notes will be indicated. Yearly interest payments are scheduled for June 15 and December 15. As stated in the press release, MicroStrategy retains the right to redeem all or any portion of these senior notes in exchange for cash.

I’m an expert in cryptocurrencies. In simpler terms, the document reveals that out of the $500 million we recently raised, a portion will be allocated for buying more Bitcoin, while the rest will serve various corporate needs. As of May 1st, our company already holds 214,400 Bitcoins, currently valued at an impressive $7.538 billion.

Another public company follows suit

In March 2021, MicroStrategy announced a plan to issue securities and raise approximately $525 million to acquire more Bitcoin.

According to U.Today’s latest report, another publicly traded company announced its intention this week to acquire and hold Bitcoins, using the term “stacking Sats.” This crypto community jargon refers to purchasing and saving 0.00000001 Bitcoin units, named after Bitcoin’s creator Satoshi.

DeFi Technologies, akin to MicroStrategy, has initiated its Bitcoin acquisition with a purchase of 110 Bitcoins. The monetary worth of this bit of the premier cryptocurrency is estimated to be approximately $7.7 million.

As a crypto investor, I’m observing that Bitcoin is currently being traded at a price of around $67,811. However, it’s important to note that there has been a slight decrease of approximately 3% in its value over the past 24 hours.
