MicroStrategy said it has increased its upcoming note sale to $2.6 billion, signaling bullish expectations for Bitcoin’s potential to surpass the $100,000 mark.
MicroStrategy, the largest corporate Bitcoin (BTC) holder, is set to raise $2.6 billion from senior convertible notes at a 0% interest rate to buy more BTC.
The note sale was upsized from a previously announced offering of $1.75 billion aggregate principal amount of notes, the firm shared in a Nov. 20 statement.
The $2.6 billion offering targets “qualified institutional buyers” and is expected to close on Nov. 21, subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

MicroStrategy’s note sale could help push Bitcoin’s price above the $100,000 mark for the first time in history. The announcement comes as Bitcoin is trading above $93,970 as of 1:30 pm UTC, up over 37% during the past month, Cointelegraph data shows.

MicroStrategy’s $2.5 billion note sale and ETFs could push Bitcoin price to $100,000 in November
MicroStrategy estimates that the sale will raise about $2.58 billion or up to $2.97 billion if the initial purchasers buy the maximum amount of additional notes.
The firm said it intends to use the funds to “acquire additional Bitcoin and for general corporate purposes.”
Some analysts expect Bitcoin to reach $100,000 before the end of the month, including Ryan Lee, chief analyst at Bitget Research, who told Cointelegraph:
“If history repeats itself and Bitcoin prices grow as projected, a 14.7% from the current price level will push the coin well above the $100,000 target for the month. The post-halving cycle trend is also very positive when projecting the future of Bitcoin.”
