In a surprising twist revealed through intricate SEC filings, MicroStrategy’s audacious $500 million debt offering in 2021 was backed by none other than 69,080 Bitcoins—tucked away behind the smokescreen of a shell company, MacroStrategy LLC. But hold onto your seats, because it gets even murkier.
Fast forward to June 30, 2024, where Tether, the heavyweight stablecoin issuer, was sitting on a massive pile of Bitcoin—valued at a staggering $4.734 billion. With each Bitcoin priced at $63.5K, that equates to roughly 75,000 BTC. That’s not all. Alongside their Bitcoin stash, Tether also had “other investments” totaling $3.5 billion. Curious, isn’t it? Especially when you learn that MicroStrategy had conveniently raised $3.8 billion during the same period.
Now, here’s the burning question: Could Tether be snapping up the bulk of MicroStrategy’s debt? Are these two titans of the crypto world weaving a web that ties them closer than anyone realizes? The numbers align eerily well, hinting at a financial maneuver that’s as bold as it is secretive.
