"Strategy is the largest convertible bond issuer again in 2025. Year to date, we represent 30% of the U.S. convertible market, powered by Bitcoin".
Year-to-date, the company has issued $2 billion in convertible bonds. For context, the total U.S. convertible debt market currently stands at approximately $280 billion, according to an X post by btc_overflow.
In Strategy's post, it shows their six convertible debt offerings outstanding with a total notional value of $8.2 billion. These convertible bonds have an average weighted maturity of 5.1 years and a coupon rate of 0.421%.
Strategy's shares has been even more volatile than bitcoin's (BTC) price of late. The stock has rebounded approximately 30% from its Feb. 28 lows but had previously declined as much as 58% from its highs.
Since adopting its bitcoin (BTC) treasury strategy back in August 2020, the company has experienced eight drawdowns of over 30%, with the most recent being the fifth largest.
Strategy is still aiming for potential inclusion in the S&P 500, with a bitcoin price of at least $96,000 needed by the end of Q1 to have a chance for eligibility.
