YEREVAN (CoinChapter.com) — MicroStrategy has raised its note sale target from $1.75 billion to $2.6 billion, aiming to fund additional Bitcoin purchases. The company shared the update in a Nov. 20 statement. This senior convertible note sale comes with a 0% interest rate and targets institutional buyers.
The offering is expected to close on Nov. 21, subject to customary closing conditions. MicroStrategy estimates that the sale will generate approximately $2.58 billion, with the possibility of reaching $2.97 billion if purchasers fully exercise the option for additional notes. Notably, the funds will primarily be used to acquire more Bitcoin, with some allocation for corporate purposes.
Bitcoin Price Surges as MicroStrategy Leads Institutional Investment

In addition, the company remains the largest corporate Bitcoin holder, reinforcing its commitment to cryptocurrency adoption. Analysts have noted that the rise in Bitcoin’s price could support the company’s strategic goals. For instance, Ryan Lee, chief analyst at Bitget Research, said,
“A 14.7% increase from the current price level will push Bitcoin above the $100,000 target for the month.”
