MicroStrategy to rake in up to $592 million from selling debt

Quick Take

  • Microstrategy expects to take in more than half a billion dollars in proceeds from its debt sale, its second such sale in March. 

MicroStrategy is poised to bring in as much as $592 million from its latest debt sale.

The company said Friday its sale of up to $600 million worth of senior convertible notes could bring in between $515 to $592.3 million. The sale, announced earlier this week, comes on the heels of a similar private debt offering launched a few days before. 

MicroStrategy's latest stack of convertible senior notes offers an interest rate of 0.875% per annum, payable twice per year in arrears. The notes will mature in 2030.
