MicroStrategy has announced plans to raise $700 million through new senior convertible bonds maturing in 2028 to purchase additional Bitcoin.
Fundraising Plan
According to MicroStrategy, the company plans to issue senior convertible bonds worth $700 million to acquire Bitcoin. As part of this strategy, the company intends to redeem $500 million of existing debt and allocate the remaining funds to further invest in Bitcoin.
MicroStrategy's Bitcoin Investments
Since 2020, MicroStrategy has invested nearly $9.5 billion in acquiring over 244,000 BTC, making it the largest corporate holder of cryptocurrency. The average purchase price of Bitcoin was $38,585 per BTC. The current market value of the company's Bitcoin holdings exceeds $14 billion, indicating the success of MicroStrategy's strategy in the cryptocurrency market.
Impact on Other Companies
MicroStrategy's aggressive Bitcoin accumulation is influencing other crypto mining companies. For instance, Cathedra Bitcoin announced a shift in strategy, deciding to cease mining operations to focus on purchasing Bitcoin on the open market. This move reflects a trend among miners who are facing reduced profitability due to halved rewards and increased network difficulty.
MicroStrategy's fundraising plans and continued Bitcoin accumulation confirm its strategic commitment to cryptocurrencies and significantly impact the digital asset market.
