Strategy Announces $1.5 Billion Note Repurchase: What Do Prediction Markets Say About Saylor Selling Bitc
The company expects to pay $1.38 billion in cash for the notes and may also use bitcoin sales to fund the deal.
- On Friday, Strategy agreed to repurchase approximately $1.5 billion of its outstanding 0% Convertible Senior Notes due 2029 for an estimated $1.38 billion in privately negotiated transactions, with settlement expected around May 19.
- Funding for the buyback will come from cash reserves, equity program proceeds, and potentially 'and/or proceeds from the sale of bitcoin,' marking the first time the company has written Bitcoin sales into a specific transaction filing.
- Speculation regarding a potential Bitcoin sale has intensified, with The Polymarket contract odds jumping from 72% to 79% for a sale by June 30th, after Saylor said on May 5 the company would 'probably sell some bitcoin to pay a dividend.'
- Peter Schiff, a Bitcoin critic, has spent the past two weeks calling STRC a 'classic centralized Ponzi,' arguing the dividend model depends on continuous capital inflows and rising Bitcoin prices.
- MSTR stock traded down roughly 2% on Friday as Bitcoin prices hovered below $80,000, while the repurchase will leave approximately $1.5 billion in principal of the 2029 Convertible Senior Notes outstanding after settlement.
