The Trend of 0% Convertible Note Offerings by MSTR and MARA
MARA holdings purchased additional Bitcoins with its 0% convertible senior note offerings worth $1 billion. The firm also purchased a portion of its 2026 notes for $200 million and overall $160 million is available for future Bitcoin dip purchases.
Offering 0% convertible notes is a new fundraising plan started with Microstrategy. While Microstrategy is only a mobile software company that acquires Bitcoins, MARA Holdings is directly linked with BTC, being the largest Bitcoin mining company that mines around 23 BTC per day. Thus, the current fundraising with the zero-coupan notes and BTC purchases could benefit MARA stock more than MSTR.

Microstrategy recently purchased 55,500 BTC at an average price of $97,862 per BTC. With this purchase, the firm holds a total of 386,700 Bitcoins as of November, 2024.
Despite the major corporate companies buying Bitcoins with debt financing, analysts say it is risky and unsustainable. In case the bull market ends and Bitcoin goes down, these companies face a huge risk.
Nonetheless, Microstrategy offered convertible notes due 2029 and MARA’s note offerings due 2030. That gives ample time for these companies to cover any short-term risks in case Bitcoin’s price declines.
