MicroStrategy’s Bold Move: Doubling Down on Bitcoin Like It’s Going Out of Style!

by

So, here we are, folks! MicroStrategy Inc (NASDAQ: MSTR), the company that’s basically the Beyoncé of Bitcoin, has decided to strut its stuff and raise a whopping $584 million. Yes, you heard that right! 💰 They’re selling 7.3 million shares of their Perpetual Strike Preferred Stock at a price that’s just as shocking as my last Tinder date—$80 per share. 😱

Now, let’s talk numbers. MicroStrategy is aiming to sell 8% of the Series A Perpetual Strike Preferred Stock to rake in around $563.4 million. Just a casual $250 million was the original plan, but who doesn’t love a good plot twist? 📈

Apparently, shareholders are clamoring for more of that sweet, sweet Bitcoin exposure. I mean, who wouldn’t want to ride the rollercoaster of Bitcoin’s volatility? 🎢 The sale of this fancy stock is set to wrap up on February 5, 2025, which gives us all plenty of time to prepare for the Bitcoin bonanza. 🥳

For those brave enough to invest in MicroStrategy’s STRK, there’s a liquidation preference of $100 per share, plus a fixed rate of 8% dividends per annum. It’s like a savings account, but with a lot more drama! 💃

MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin Bonanza

Since going all-in on Bitcoin, MicroStrategy has had a glow-up that would make any influencer jealous. Their Bitcoin stash of about 471,107 BTCs now represents a staggering 57.32% of their market cap. Talk about commitment! 💖

Year-to-date, they’ve reported a BTC Yield of about 2.9%. That’s right, folks, they’re not just sitting on their Bitcoin; they’re making it work for them like a personal trainer at a gym! 🏋️‍♀️

With heavyweights like Capital Group and Norges Bank backing them, MicroStrategy is poised to grow its Bitcoin holdings to a million. Yes, a million! It’s like they’re trying to collect Pokémon, but instead of Pikachu, it’s all about that Bitcoin! ⚡

And let’s not forget, more investors are now seeing Bitcoin as a better store of value than Gold. Who knew that shiny metal would be so last season? 💎

Market Mayhem

MicroStrategy’s unwavering support for Bitcoin has turned it into a magnet for institutional investors. Demand for Bitcoin is skyrocketing, and with only 21 million to go around, it’s like a Black Friday sale, but for cryptocurrency! 🛒

According to a peer-reviewed paper (yes, real science, people!) co-authored by Murray Rudd, Bitcoin is on track to surpass $1 million by 2027. By 2030, it could be a multi-millionaire! 💸 The anticipated adoption by nation-states, especially the U.S., is just the cherry on top of this crypto sundae. 🍒
