Twitter to raise $1.25 billion via convertible notes offering
Is Twitter pulling off a “MicroStrategy stunt” as it announced today that it is planning to raise more than $1 billion through convertible notes offering?
The unsecured notes, due in 2026, will be offered to qualified institutional investors.
Twitter expects to grant the buyers of the notes a 13-day option to purchase an additional $187.5 million of the notes.
Use of net proceeds
The company expects to use a portion of the net proceeds to cover the cost of the convertible hedge transactions and to pay “any amounts due upon conversion or at maturity of its 1%” notes due 2021, and for general corporate purposes such as capital expenditures, potential acquisitions, and capital expenditures.Last month, MicroStrategy, a business intelligence firm, announced that it would raise $600 million in a similar fashion: senior convertible notes offering.
The business firm revised the figure to $900 million and declared that it would use the net proceeds to buy additional bitcoins.
In a week’s time, the company announced that it had made a $1.026 billion investment in bitcoin.
This was the second-largest known purchase of bitcoin by a publicly-traded U.S. company, with Tesla’s $1.5 billion investment taking the pole position.
This raises the question that apart from its general corporate purposes, will Twitter use the money to invest in bitcoin.
Will Twitter invest in bitcoin
The past few months have shown that what seemed impossible a year ago is now possible, at least in terms of companies investing in the leading digital asset.Last month, Twitter’s Chief Financial Officer Ned Segal said the company is considering whether it should buy bitcoin or not. The company also said that it is looking into paying employees in bitcoin should they ask for it.
While this may not be in black and white yet, Twitter’s CEO Jack Dorsey is a long-time bitcoin advocate. Twitter’s sister company, Square Inc., recently announced that it had made an investment of $170 million in bitcoin. This is in addition to the $50 million it spent last year in buying the asset.
Though Square has invested significantly in Bitcoin, Twitter’s foray could have a major influence on bitcoin’s price because of the large global audience Twitter has.
Twitter’s share price is 42% up in year-to-date performance.
MicroStrategy share price performance
MicroStrategy has become a major player in the crypto industry due to CEO Michael Saylor’s appetite for bitcoin.The firm's stock price has gone up 93.15% since the turning of the year, nearly twice as high as that of Twitter.
Since investing in bitcoin in August last year, MicroStrategy's stock price surged from $130+ to $750.
MicroStrategy’s impressive share price performance since investing in bitcoin could potentially lure players such as Twitter to follow suit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
How does the 3X Value Guarantee work?
We stand behind the value of our research. If the documented upside from our published research during your 12-month membership does not exceed three times (3X) the annual subscription cost, you can request a full refund. Historical context: In every completed market cycle since 2017, cumulative documented upside has exceeded 10X this threshold.
