TYSONS CORNER, Va. - MicroStrategy Incorporated (NASDAQ:MSTR), known for its significant Bitcoin investments and remarkable 727% return over the past year, has issued a notice for the full redemption of its 0.0% Convertible Senior Notes due 2025. According to InvestingPro data, analysts maintain a strong buy consensus with a potential upside to $650 per share. The company informed the trustee that it plans to redeem the outstanding notes, which have an aggregate principal amount of approximately $1.05 billion, on February 24, 2025.

Holders of the notes have the option to convert their investments into shares of MicroStrategy's class A common stock until 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on February 20, 2025. The conversion rate is set at 7.0234 shares per $1,000 principal amount, which is equivalent to a conversion price of $142.38 per share. In accordance with the company's decision, conversions will be settled in shares, with cash paid for any fractional shares.

To initiate the conversion, note holders must follow the procedures outlined in the indenture governing the notes, including the surrender of their notes through DTC's electronic system. The redemption will be conducted at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus any accrued and unpaid special interest up to, but not including, the redemption date.
