What is it: This shows bitcoin's ROI vs other potential inflation hedge assets.

Why it matters: As with the historical bitcoin price table, we see bitcoin's extreme outperformance vs other assets here as well. Bitcoin's relatively small size, plus fundamental properties, yield extreme outperformance when even relatively small funds-flows find their way to BTC.

MicroStrategy Plans to Sell $400mm in Bonds to Buy Bitcoin


Business Wire   -  4 years ago

 

MicroStrategy - having already purchased close to $500mm in BTC (which has since appreciated substantially) - announced today that it plans to issue $400mm in senior unsecured convertible notes, and use the proceeds to buy more bitcoin:

The notes will be unsecured, senior obligations of MicroStrategy and will bear interest payable semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning on June 15, 2021. The notes will mature on December 15, 2025 MicroStrategy intends to invest the net proceeds from the sale of the notes in bitcoin in accordance with its Treasury Reserve Policy pending the identification of working capital needs and other general corporate purposes.

tldr

  • Microstrategy made headlines in recent months for converting nearly all of its treasury to BTC, in two major tranches of roughly $250mm and $175mm.
  • Additionally MicroStrategy purchased another $50mm in BTC last week
  • This latest move appears to go beyond 'treasury policy', and will no doubt raise questions about whether MicroStrategy is becoming a de-facto publicly-traded Bitcoin fund of sorts.
