MicroStrategy will offer $500 million as convertible senior notes through a private offering to deserving institutional buyers. This is per Rule 144A, coming under the Securities Act of 1933. The company intends to provide the first lot of buyers of the notes the opportunity to buy within thirteen days, pertaining to when the notes were initially released. They will then receive an added $75 million as per the principal amount of the notes. This provision will depend on the prevailing market situation.

The offered notes will be unsecured, a senior commitment of MicroStrategy, and come with an interest payable every six months in the form of arrears on the 15th of March and the the 15th of September. The maturity of the notes will happen on the 22nd of March, 2028. It may be possible that MicroStrategy compensates for cash, either some or all of the notes. Holders of the notes will possess the authority to have MicroStrategy rebuy for cash in terms of the notes by the 15th of September, 2028.

The notes will be converted into cash shares of MicroStrategy’s class A common stock. The interest rate, along with the first conversion rate and added facts pertaining to the notes, will be decided when the pricing of the offering is fixed.

The company plans to utilize the net income from selling the notes to obtain added Bitcoin for ordinary company requirements.

The selling of the notes will be to deserving individuals as per Rule 144A, coming under the Securities Act. The notes and shares will not be listed under the Securities Act or any other law. The notes will be released through a private offering and not in the US or anywhere else where it is illegal.
