In a strategic move that highlights the increasing confidence in cryptocurrencies, {MicroStrategy} revealed plans on June 13 to raise $500 million for a new purchase of Bitcoin (BTC).
The amount would come through an offering of convertible senior notes, which also includes an option for an additional $75 million. {MicroStrategy} is a business intelligence company that is a corporate holder of bitcoin tokens.
In their official release, the company emphasized that the convertible senior notes, subject to market conditions and other factors, will mature in the year 2032. According to {MicroStrategy}, the issuance of these notes will be in a private offering to qualified institutional investors.
“MicroStrategy Incorporated announced today that it intends to offer, subject to market conditions and other factors, an aggregate principal amount of $500 million in convertible senior notes maturing in 2032 in a private offering to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers based on Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933.
