In a June 20 press release, the company announced the completion of the senior notes, which exceeded the $800M mark, including $100M worth of notes issued with purchase options.
It didn’t take a week for the company to complete the round, as on June 18, all buyers exercised the purchase agreement in full.
Diamond Hands Since 2020
MicroStrategy is one of the largest institutional holders of Bitcoin, led by BTC advocate Michael Saylor.
As Bitcoin soared in price in the first quarter of 2024 following the approval of spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs), the company’s stock, MSTR, skyrocketed to new heights on the Nasdaq exchange.
The company recently settled a $40M tax evasion lawsuit with the District of Columbia, making it the largest income tax fraud recovery in the district’s history.
