MicroStrategy Seeks to Sell $500M of Stock to Finance Bitcoin Purchases

Microstategy BTC
MicroStrategy (MSTR), a business software developer, has filed with the SEC for an IPO with a maximum value of $500 million, stating that some of the funds raised will be used to purchase further Bitcoin. The prospectus stated that the company plans to use the net proceeds from the sale “for general corporate activities,” which includes the purchase of Bitcoin.
MicroStrategy founder Michael Saylor, who just stepped down as CEO to become executive chairman and focus on Bitcoin purchases, is not backing off his grandiose aim to transform the company into a crypto proxy. Since 2020, he has spent over $2 billion on over 130,000 bitcoin that he bought with money from stock and bond deals.

A Bitcoin maximalist, Saylor, has pointed out that the corporation has thousands of Bitcoin it may pledge as security if necessary, even though the business software firm acquired a $205 million term loan from Silvergate in March to purchase further bitcoin possibly.
During an earnings call, MicroStrategy’s chief financial officer Andrew Kang indicated that the business has about 85,000 bitcoin that have not been pledged as collateral, providing more than enough to cover the ongoing needs of its Silvergate term loan through “any expected market volatility.”

MicroStrategy’s founder and former CEO Michael Saylor amassed a Bitcoin fortune worth billions of dollars over the course of a few years, and the company’s stock has since come to stand in for Bitcoin itself as a proxy of sorts. MicroStrategy has acquired more Bitcoin in the past using both equity and debt financing.

“We intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of any class A common stock offered under this prospectus for general corporate purposes, including the acquisition of bitcoin, unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement.”

According to MicroStrategy’s Q2 results call, the company possessed 129,699 BTC as of June 30, valued at about $2.99 billion at current pricing. The coins were purchased at an average of $30,664, indicating that the company’s Bitcoin investment was currently losing money. As a result, MicroStrategy’s stock has become linked to the value of bitcoin, and the company has lost $1.2 billion due to the cryptocurrency’s precipitous decline this year.
