On Aug. 15, Bitdeer said that the notes would be senior, unsecured obligations of the company, which will mature on Aug. 15, 2029, unless converted, redeemed or repurchased earlier. 


A senior convertible note is a type of debt security that can later be converted into equity. It’s a form of debt for the company that can also accrue interest payments for the investor over time. A senior convertible note has priority over all other debt securities issued by a company.


Bitdeer said holders may convert their notes on the second scheduled trading day immediately after maturity. Bitdeer offers Class A ordinary shares on maturity


When the notes are converted, Bitdeer will pay holders with Class A ordinary shares or a combination of cash and Class A ordinary shares. On Aug. 16, the crypto mining company announced that the notes would accrue an 8.5% interest rate annually. 


Bitdeer said it would use the funds raised from the offering to expand and develop its business further. “The company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering for data center expansion, ASIC-based mining rig development as well as working capital and other general corporate purposes,” Bitdeer wrote. List of mining companies by market capitalization.
