MSTR Uses Convertible Notes to Fuel the Massive Purchase
To fund the purchase, Strategy raised $2 billion through a zero-interest convertible note offering last week. The offering allowed the company to secure capital without immediate dilution of shares, a move that aligns with Saylor’s long-term Bitcoin strategy.
Strategy now holds Bitcoin worth $47.7 billion at current prices, with an average purchase price of $66,357 per BTC. Despite a recent stock dip below $300, MSTR shares ticked up slightly in premarket trading. This signals investor confidence in the company’s aggressive Bitcoin strategy.
