Bitcoin’s price saw a slight uptick on Tuesday following a major announcement after the U.S. stock market closed.
Key Highlights:
- Strategy (MSTR), formerly MicroStrategy, has unveiled plans to raise an additional $2 billion through 0% convertible notes.
- The offering includes an underwriter greenshoe option for up to $300 million in additional issuance, as per the company’s press release.
- The primary use of the funds will be further Bitcoin acquisitions, reinforcing the company’s aggressive BTC accumulation strategy.
- Led by Executive Chairman Michael Saylor, Strategy remains the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin, currently holding 478,740 BTC—valued at over $45 billion at today’s prices.
- Following the announcement, Bitcoin trimmed earlier losses, rising 1% to $95,000, though still down 1.2% over the past 24 hours.
