Strategy entered into “privately negotiated transactions” with a portion of its 0% senior convertible note holders on Thursday, agreeing to repurchase the debt for an estimated $1.38 billion, according to the company’s Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filing. The transaction is set to settle on Tuesday of the week following the publication of this article, the company said, adding that the final repurchase amount could “vary” from the estimated amount based on market conditions. The company added: “Strategy expects to fund the repurchases with available cash reserves, proceeds from sales of securities under its at-the-market offering program, and/or proceeds from the sale of bitcoin.” _Strategy's SEC filing documenting the 2029 convertible note repurchase. Source:_ Strategy The move follows comments made by Strategy co-founder Michael Saylor in May 2026, signaling that the company could sell a portion of its Bitcoin holdings to fund dividend payments, and earlier comments in February that the company plans to equitize its debt in the coming years. **Strategy plans to swap its convertible debt for equity over the next 3-6 years** Strategy plans on equitizing its convertible debt over the next 3-6 years, gradually turning holders of its credit instruments into equity holders. This would reduce the debt burden on the company, but would also dilute existing stockholder value by adding new equity shares. _Source:_ Michael Saylor Strategy has about $8.2 billion in total outstanding debt at the time of publication, according to data from the company, and has funded its BTC buys in 2026 primarily through its Stretch Perpetual Preferred Stock (STRC). On Thursday, STRC hit $1.5 billion in daily trading volume, setting a new record for the equity instrument, and signaling strong investor interest. The company’s most recent Bitcoin purchase occurred on Monday, when it bought 535 Bitcoin for $43 million, bringing its total Bitcoin holdings to 818,869 coins, valued at about $64 billion, using BTC’s spot market price at the time of publication. ### Related Stocks - [STRD.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/STRD.US.md) - [GBTC.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/GBTC.US.md) - [MSTR.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MSTR.US.md) - [COIN.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/COIN.US.md) - [IBIT.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/IBIT.US.md) - [BITO.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BITO.US.md) - [BRRR.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BRRR.US.md) - [ARKB.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/ARKB.US.md) - [HODL.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/HODL.US.md) - [BTCO.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BTCO.US.md) - [BTCW.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BTCW.US.md) - [EZBC.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/EZBC.US.md) - [FBTC.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/FBTC.US.md) - [BITB.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BITB.US.md) - [BTCHKD.VAHK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BTCHKD.VAHK.md) - [BTCUSD.VAHK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BTCUSD.VAHK.md) - [STRC.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/STRC.US.md) - [STRF.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/STRF.US.md) - [STRK.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/STRK.US.md) ## Related News & Research - [The financial boundaries of Strategies' increased BTC holdings: Can STRC continue to drive growth?](https://longbridge.com/en/news/286196820.md) - [Michael Saylor’s latest tax strategy echoes Strategy’s 2022 bitcoin sale](https://longbridge.com/en/news/285929367.md) - [Pundi X to Host Meetup in Tokyo on May 20th](https://longbridge.com/en/news/286673831.md) - [Cathedra Bitcoin Announces Securityholder Approval of Plan of Arrangement | CBTTF Stock News](https://longbridge.com/en/news/286618425.md) - [THORChain Price Outlook: Panic or Opportunity After RUNE Crashes 30%?](https://longbridge.com/en/news/286643134.md)
