On September 16, 2024, MicroStrategy Incorporated announced its intention to offer $700 milliona of convertible senior notes due 2028 in a private offering to qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A, with an option for initial purchasers to buy up to an additional $105 million.

The offering is expected to close on September 19, 2024. Net proceeds are estimated at approximately $864.1 million, or about $997.4 million if the option is exercised in full.

The company intends to use the net proceeds to redeem in full its $500.0 millionc outstanding 6.125% Senior Secured Notes due 2028, with any remaining proceeds used to acquire additional bitcoin and for general corporate purposes.
