MicroStrategy to Raise $700 Million for Bitcoin Acquisition and Note Redemption
MicroStrategy is set to raise $700 million by offering convertible senior notes to institutional investors.

The company also plans to redeem its $500 million in senior secured notes maturing in 2028 at a premium on September 26, 2024, using part of the proceeds.
