MicroStrategy Incorporated (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) on Wednesday announced an increase in its convertible senior notes offering to $2.6 billion from its initial $1.75 billion, signaling its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42079799/microstrategys-michael-saylor-to-advocate-for-bitcoin-investment-at-microsoft-board-meeting-offers-to-educate-rumble-ceo-with-the-strategy">continued aggressive stance</a> on Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) accumulation.
The company plans to use the net proceeds to acquire additional Bitcoin and for general corporate purposes.
What Happened: This <a href="https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20241120130094/en/MicroStrategy-Announces-Pricing-of-Offering-of-0-Convertible-Senior-Notes">announcement </a>comes as Bitcoin's price surges past $94,000, propelling MicroStrategy's market capitalization to $96.73 billion, surpassing the combined value of Newmont Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NEM#NYSE">NEM</a>) and Barrick Gold (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOLD#NYSE">GOLD</a>), the world's two largest gold mining companies.
The 0% convertible senior notes, due 2029, will be offered to qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A of the Securities Act and certain non-U.S. persons in compliance with Regulation S. 
With an initial conversion price set at $672.40 per share—a 55% premium over the November 19 closing price—the offering highlights strong institutional demand.
MicroStrategy expects to raise $2.58 billion in net proceeds, potentially reaching $2.97 billion if initial purchasers exercise their option to acquire additional notes. 
The offering is set to close on Nov. 21, pending customary conditions.
The upsized offering underscores MicroStrategy's commitment to Bitcoin as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/41878981/microstrategy-acquires-another-27200-bitcoin-worth-2-billion">a treasury reserve asset</a>, a strategy that has significantly boosted its market value.

"MicroStrategy's market cap exceeding these gold giants demonstrates the transformative potential of Bitcoin," said Peter Schiff, who questioned whether MicroStrategy could soon surpass the entire gold mining industry's capitalization.
MicroStrategy's stock has surged 3.36% in pre-market trading, driven by Bitcoin's rally to over $94,000.
The company recently acquired 51,780 bitcoin between Nov. 11 and 17 for $4.6 billion, further consolidating its position as the largest corporate holder of the cryptocurrency.
Its Bitcoin holdings now exceed 331,000 BTC, with a cumulative acquisition cost of over $16 billion.
Executive chairman Michael Saylor has positioned Bitcoin as a hedge against inflation, a strategy initiated in 2020 that has paid off amid surging cryptocurrency prices.
While MicroStrategy doubles down on Bitcoin, other major players like Goldman Sachs (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>) continue to focus on traditional assets. 
Goldman <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/commodities/24/11/42036300/go-for-gold-says-goldman-sachs-precious-yellow-metal-price-would-rise-in-2025-amid-central-bank-buying-fed-rate-cuts">recently projected gold prices</a> to reach $3,000 per ounce by the end of 2025, emphasizing its role as a leading commodity trade.

Renowned economist Peter Schiff advised investors to buy gold dips amid concerns over potential inflation following Donald Trump&#8216;s presidential election victory over Kamala Harris.
What Happened: &#8220;The best Trump trade now is buying the dip in gold and gold mining stocks,&#8221; Schiff posted on X. &#8220;Cutting taxes is easy. We know from experience that substantive spending cuts are impossible. Even Reagan couldn&#8217;t do it, despite making greater promises to do so. Trump will make inflation great again.&#8221;
Trump secured 277 electoral votes and 51% of the popular vote against Harris, according to Associated Press figures. 
Major gold mining stocks, including Barrick Gold (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOLD#NYSE">GOLD</a>), Newmont (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NEM#NYSE">NEM</a>), and Royal Gold (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RGLD#NASDAQ">RGLD</a>), declined over 2% on Wednesday, while gold spot prices traded at $2,656, down 0.09%.

The company is expected to produce roughly 5.5 million ounces of gold in 2024 from its core mines and 6.8 million in total.

Newmont Unusual Options Activity For November 05

Leading gold miner Newmont (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NEM#NYSE">NEM</a>) has applied to extend the permit for its Cadia operation, Australia's <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/mining" rel="noreferrer noopener">largest underground mine</a>, until 2050.
Located near Orange in New South Wales (NSW), Cadia plays a significant role in Newmont's portfolio and the Australian mining sector. It produces nearly 600,000 ounces of gold and a large share of the country's copper.
Per <a target="_blank" href="https://www.centralwesterndaily.com.au/story/8806996/newmonts-cadia-mine-expansion-plans-to-2050/" rel="noreferrer noopener">Central Western Daily</a>, extending Cadia's operations would generate significant regional benefits, providing over 2,100 full-time jobs and helping hundreds of regional suppliers. The mine's economic contribution is substantial, as the company spends around $135 million annually on employee salaries.
"The extension of Cadia's operations would be a tangible boost for responsible mining that contributes to global net zero goals, local jobs, and economic growth," said Suzy Retallack, Newmont's Chief Sustainability Officer.

The NSW Department of Planning, Housing, and Infrastructure will assess the application submitted under the federal Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act on behalf of the federal government.
Already deemed a state-significant project, Cadia's extension aligns with state and federal priorities for regional economic stability.
The mine recently earned recognition for sustainable production, receiving the Copper Mark and the Molybdenum Mark.
"Our global customers can now choose to source copper concentrate from an independently evaluated mine that meets the highest standards in environmental, social, and governance practices, responding to the increasing demand for sustainable supply chains," Retallack <a target="_blank" href="https://newmont.com/investors/news-release/news-details/2024/Newmont-Cadia-Awarded-The-Copper-Mark-and-The-Molybdenum-Mark/default.aspx" rel="noreferrer noopener">said</a> in an announcement.
Cadia is currently Australia's only operating source of molybdenum, a critical mineral used to strengthen steel without adding excessive weight. The $85 million processing plant can produce around 4.1 million pounds annually.
Newmont's commitment to Cadia reflects its strategic focus on Tier 1 assets. After the industry-shaking merger with Newcrest (whose flagship asset was Cadia), CEO Tom Palmer announced the company would <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/24/02/37287732/gold-miner-newmont-looks-to-sell-assets-reduce-8b-debt-load" rel="noreferrer noopener">divest from non-strategic operations</a>.
A recent sale of the Akyem operation in Ghana to Zijin Mining is expected to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41246715/newmont-strikes-1b-deal-for-akyem-sale-focus-sharpens-on-tier-1-assets" rel="noreferrer noopener">generate approximately $1 billion</a>, helping reduce debt and support core asset capital expenditures.
Newmont's stock is 14.74% up year-to-date, significantly lagging gold &#8211; one of the best assets of the year. SPDR Gold Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLD#NYSE">GLD</a>) is up 34% year-to-date.

Price Target

UBS Downgrades Newmont to Neutral, Lowers Price Target to $54

Renowned economist Peter Schiff questioned the soaring market capitalization of Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) proxy company MicroStrategy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) compared to gold mining companies.
What Happened: In a recent X post, Schiff pointed out that MicroStrategy, despite not earning or producing much, has a market valuation exceeding all gold mining companies except for Newmont Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NEM#NYSE">NEM</a>), the largest in the sector. 
Schiff even initiated an X poll, asking his followers if MicroStrategy&#8217;s market cap will eventually surpass Newmont&#8217;s. As things turned out, more than 83% voted in favor of such an outcome.

As of this writing, MicroStrategy has a market cap of $47.764 billion, narrowly trailing Newmont, which was valued at $54.42 billion. Since the beginning of the year, shares of MicroStrategy have popped an impressive 276.9%, while the gold-mining company has grown by 16.84% year-to-date.
The short-term performance also favors the Bitcoin development company, which jumped 53% over the month compared to Newmont, which fell 10.57% during the same period.
Comparing the technical indicators of the two stocks, all of MicroStrategy&#8217;s moving averages flashed a &#8216;Buy&#8217; signal, while the momentum indicator Moving Average Convergence Divergence, which compares an asset&#8217;s long-term performance versus short-term, was also bullish, <a href="https://in.tradingview.com/symbols/NASDAQ-MSTR/technicals/">according</a> to TradingView. 
On the other hand, Newmont&#8217;s moving averages all <a href="https://in.tradingview.com/symbols/NYSE-NEM/technicals/">indicated </a>a &#8216;Sell&#8217; signal, implying a bearish condition.

Why It Matters: This wasn&#8217;t the first time Schiff has expressed skepticism towards MicroStrategy.

With year-to-date gains of 272%, it netted <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/10/41567772/ahead-of-mag-7-earnings-season-michael-saylor-celebrates-bitcoin-proxy-microstrategys-reco">higher returns this year</a> than the &#8220;Magnificent 7&#8221; companies
