The move comes just a few days after MacroStrategy received a $205 million loan from Silvergate Bank to buy additional bitcoins. The company said the deal was secured by "certain bitcoin" held in MacroStrategy's collateral account. MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor added that with the capital from the loan, the company has turned its bitcoin into "productive collateral."
Meanwhile, Saylor does not believe the financial market is ready for bitcoin-backed bonds. In a recent interview with Bloomberg, the MicroStrategy CEO said that besides a loan from Silvergate Bank, the next best idea was a "term loan from a major bank."
