MicroStrategy <a href="https://www.microstrategy.com/press/microstrategy-announces-proposed-private-offering-of-500m-of-convertible-senior-notes_06-13-2024" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">announced</a> plans to raise $500 million through a private offering of convertible senior notes due in 2032, with an option for an additional $75 million. 
The notes, expected to be issued, will be unsecured and senior obligations of MicroStrategy, bearing interest semi-annually starting December 15, 2024. The convertible senior notes issued by MicroStrategy will mature on June 15, 2032, unless they are repurchased, redeemed, or converted earlier as per their terms.&nbsp; 
MicroStrategy intends to use the funds raised from this offering “to acquire additional bitcoin and for general corporate purposes.”

From June 20, 2029, MicroStrategy has the option to redeem all or part of the notes for cash, subject to specific conditions. 
If not all notes are redeemed, at least $75 million in principal amount must remain outstanding and unredeemed. Holders of the notes can demand MicroStrategy repurchase their notes for cash on June 15, 2029.&nbsp; 
The notes can be converted into cash, shares of MicroStrategy’s class A common stock, or a combination, at MicroStrategy’s discretion. Before December 15, 2031, conversion is only possible upon specified events and during certain periods; thereafter, conversion is allowed until shortly before the maturity date. 
The interest rate, initial conversion rate, and other terms will be determined at the time of the offering’s pricing. MicroStrategy expects to use the U.S. composite volume weighted average price of its class A common stock from 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM EDT on the pricing date as the reference price for calculating the initial conversion price of the notes. 
Proceeds from the offering are earmarked for additional Bitcoin purchases and general corporate needs. The notes are restricted to qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A and are not registered under the Securities Act or any other jurisdiction’s securities laws.&nbsp; 
Therefore, they cannot be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption. The offering will adhere strictly to a private offering memorandum. 
In summary, MicroStrategy’s move to issue convertible senior notes seeks to raise substantial capital from qualified institutional investors. The company aims to bolster its holdings of bitcoin and support general corporate operations through this financing.&nbsp; 
The terms of the notes provide flexibility with redemption and conversion, structured to align with market dynamics and investor interests, subject to regulatory compliance in the offering process.
