Concerning the MicroStrategy news . . . I have questions. I had Chatgpt read an article about MS' intent to issue notes to buy bitcoin and then asked 2 questions.

I'd like the humans out there to take a shot. I am really trying to figure out how fast this can get done. MS made the announcement today and the "maturity" date is in less than 2 weeks? If anyone has some insight as to the mechanism by which this works, I am all ears.

Me: What does "maturity" mean in this context? Were these notes already issued?

Chat GPT: In this context, "maturity" refers to the date on which the senior convertible notes issued by MicroStrategy are due to be repaid. The notes are set to mature on March 15, 2030, meaning that by this date, the notes must be either repaid, redeemed, or converted according to their terms.

Based on the information provided, these notes were planned for issuance as part of MicroStrategy's strategy to raise funds for purchasing more Bitcoin. The statement was made on March 4, indicating the company's intent to issue these notes, but it does not specify whether the notes had already been issued by that date. The announcement is about the plan to raise funds through the issuance of these notes, suggesting that the actual issuance would follow the announcement.
