Ah, the illustrious firm of Strategy, once known as MicroStrategy, now seeks to raise a staggering $2 billion through the enchanting allure of 0% senior convertible notes, all in the name of acquiring more Bitcoin. One must wonder, is this a financial strategy or merely a whimsical dalliance with digital currency?
Those fortunate enough to be the first buyers of these notes may indulge in the option to procure an additional $300 million worth of notes, to be utilized within a mere five business days post-issuance. How delightfully convenient! Strategy, in a statement dated February 18, has declared its noble intention to use the net proceeds for the acquisition of more Bitcoin (BTC) and, of course, working capital—because who doesn’t need a little extra cash on hand? 💸
Now, let us ponder the nature of these senior convertible notes. They are, in essence, a debt security that can be transformed into equity at a later date. They hold a “senior” status over common stock, granting their holders a delightful priority in the unfortunate event of bankruptcy or liquidation. How charmingly morbid! 🥳
These notes have been the primary instruments in Strategy’s grand 21/21 Plan, which ambitiously targets a capital of $42 billion over the next three years, split between equity and fixed-income securities, all to procure more Bitcoin. One can only admire the audacity of such a plan, orchestrated by the ever-visionary Michael Saylor, the executive chairman and co-founder of this financial opera.
Since the announcement on October 30, the company has already completed over half of its $42 billion capital plan, acquiring nearly 200,000 Bitcoin, thus amassing a total of 478,740 Bitcoin. This makes them the world’s largest corporate Bitcoin holder, as per the illustrious BitBo’s Bitcoin Treasuries data. Bravo! 🎉
The proposed notes are set to mature on March 1, 2030, unless they are repurchased, redeemed, or converted earlier—subject, of course, to the whims of the market and other conditions. How delightfully vague! Strategy has noted this with a flourish.
In a rather anticlimactic twist, the shares of Strategy (MSTR) did not experience a significant movement upon this news. They closed down just over 1% on February 18 and remained flat in after-hours trading, according to Google Finance data. Yet, let us not forget that Strategy shares have soared by 372% over the past 12 months, making it one of the most splendid performers in the US stock market. A true phoenix rising from the ashes! 🔥
Despite the grand Bitcoin purchases, which coincided with a rise in Bitcoin prices, Strategy has reported a rather disheartening net loss of $670.8 million in Q4. Ah, the irony of fortune! 😅
