MicroStrategy, under the leadership of Michael Saylor, made a significant move by purchasing an additional 9,245 Bitcoins this week, totaling $623 million. This brings their total Bitcoin holdings to 214,246, with an average purchase price of $35,160 per Bitcoin and a cumulative spending of $7.5 billion.
The investment by MicroStrategy represents over 1% of the entire Bitcoin market, resulting in an unrealized profit margin of approximately $6 billion. The funding for this acquisition came from a recent convertible debt offering, where $592.3 million was secured, and the remaining $30.7 million was taken from surplus cash reserves.
Following this strategic move, MicroStrategy experienced a 13% decline in stock value on Tuesday, coinciding with a decrease in Bitcoin’s value. This decline followed the completion of a $603.7 million convertible debt offering, which was preceded by another offering of $800 million the week before.
MicroStrategy plans to pay back the borrowed money in a unique way by allowing investors to swap the cash lent for the company’s shares before September 15, 2030. For every $1,000 lent, investors receive 0.43 of a MicroStrategy share, giving them the option to receive shares valued at approximately $2,327.21 instead of cash under specific conditions.
