MicroStrategy’s latest note offering features an annual interest rate of 0.625% and will be payable semi-annually from September 2024 onwards. Notably, the notes are convertible to cash, MicroStrategy stocks, or a blend of both.

This move underscores MicroStrategy’s unwavering commitment to Bitcoin, dating back to August 2020 when the company made headlines by allocating a significant portion of its capital to the cryptocurrency. Spearheaded by Saylor, the decision reflects MicroStrategy’s belief in Bitcoin’s potential as a dependable store of value and investment asset, surpassing the long-term appreciation potential of traditional cash holdings.

Since its initial $250 million investment for 21,454 BTC, MicroStrategy has consistently expanded its Bitcoin portfolio, with holdings surpassing $12.9 billion by March 2024. Saylor’s conviction in Bitcoin’s superiority over fiat currency remains steadfast, positioning the cryptocurrency as the cornerstone of the company’s treasury reserve strategy.
