Bitcoin Rally Triggers MicroStrategy's Bond Dilemma, Skyrockets Stock Value
Portfolio Pulse from Anusuya Lahiri
MicroStrategy Inc (NASDAQ:MSTR) faces a dilemma due to Bitcoin's surge, which has significantly increased the value of its shares and convertible bonds, making refinancing costly. The company's $650 million convertible bonds, due in 2025, are trading at nearly 3.8 times their par value, with the stock soaring approximately 390% since late 2020. This situation forces MicroStrategy to decide whether to repurchase the bonds at a high price or convert them into shares, potentially diluting stock value. Analysts see an upside for MicroStrategy, projecting Bitcoin's price could reach $150,000 by 2025 and increase the company's Bitcoin holdings.
