MicroStrategy, the largest Bitcoin-holder company, plans to redeem all its outstanding 0% convertible senior notes due in 2027.
As per the announcement, MicroStrategy will redeem these notes, worth around $1.05 billion, on February 24, 2025. The company will pay back the full value of the notes, including the principal and any unpaid interest, unless they are converted into stock before the date.
Investors holding these notes can choose to convert them into MicroStrategy’s Class A common stock before February 20, 2025, at a conversion price of $142.38 per share.
To convert, holders must follow the process outlined in the notes’ agreement, which includes electronically submitting their notes for conversion.
This move is significant as MicroStrategy has heavily invested in Bitcoin. On January 21, 2025, the company purchased an additional 11,000 Bitcoin, bringing its total holdings to approximately 461,000 BTC.
Since August 2020, the company, led by Michael Saylor, has made Bitcoin its main treasury asset, citing concerns about diminishing cash returns and a weakening dollar.
Convertible senior notes are debt instruments that investors can exchange for shares in the company. By redeeming these notes, MicroStrategy hopes to better manage its debt, save on interest costs, and avoid giving away too many shares to new investors.
The company issued its fifth convertible bond of the year, raising $3 billion with a zero-interest rate and a conversion price 55% above its current share price. This aggressive strategy has transformed MicroStrategy into the largest corporate holder of bitcoins, owning nearly 2% of the total supply.
