Smart Money Is Betting Big In GOLD Options

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.

Barrick Gold Unusual Options Activity For November 15

Mali's military government is demanding a $162 million tax settlement from Australia's Resolute Mining (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RMGGY#OTC">RMGGY</a>) following the detention of its CEO, Terry Holohan, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/management/24/11/41876770/resolute-mining-ceo-detained-in-mali-shares-crater" rel="noreferrer noopener">during a visit to the country.</a>
Holohan was detained in Bamako, Mali's capital, along with two colleagues after attending meetings with tax and mining authorities.
This action has escalated tensions between the country's military junta and foreign mining companies, a crucial source of tax revenue.
After shares fell more than 40%, the Australian Securities Exchange halted trading, pending further news from the company, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-11-14/resolute-shares-suspended-after-mali-demands-160-million" rel="noreferrer noopener">per</a> Bloomberg.
Mali, Africa's third-largest gold producer, significantly contributes to the global gold supply, attracting several prominent international mining companies. Alongside Resolute, which operates the Syama mine, other notable miners active in Mali include Barrick Gold (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOLD#NYSE">GOLD</a>), operator of the Loulo-Gounkoto complex, as well as Allied Gold Corp. and B2Gold Corp., which manage the Sadiola and Fekola mines.
Resolute reported producing approximately 331,000 ounces of gold across its African sites in 2023, with Syama as its flagship Malian project. Still, the company's fiscal position at the end of the last quarter included a net cash reserve of $146 million – which is less than what the junta demands.
Resolute's contract for the Syama, set to run through 2029, previously granted favorable operational terms. However, the junta, which has governed Mali since 2020, recently began pressuring mining companies to renegotiate economic terms in a bid to increase national revenue from resources.
This trend coincides with a surge in the global gold market, with prices rising by 28% year-to-date. In a recent<a target="_blank" href="https://www.rml.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/11-11-24-ASX-RSG-Company-Statement.pdf" rel="noreferrer noopener"> statement</a>, Resolute called the Malian government's tax claims "unsubstantiated" and expressed its intention to work with authorities toward a resolution.
The junta's demands on Resolute are not isolated. Barrick Gold has also come under scrutiny, with the government seeking $500 million in funds that it claims are owed.
Despite the tensions, Barrick CEO Mark Bristow <a target="_blank" href="https://www.barrick.com/English/news/news-details/2024/barrick-responds-to-mali-government-claims-of-breaching-its-commitments/default.aspx" rel="noreferrer noopener">indicated</a> that his company is engaged in discussions with Malian authorities to achieve a "mutually acceptable outcome." He noted that the firm paid out $85 million in the context of ongoing negotiations.
Barrick's Loulo-Gounkoto complex remains one of its most productive assets, yielding 683,000 ounces in 2023 from its total production of 4.05 million ounces. A disruption of such Tier 1 operation would have a notable impact on the company and the broader market.

Shares of precious metals stocks are trading lower as gold and silver drop amid a rise in the US dollar.

Resolute Mining (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RMGGY#OTC">RMGGY</a>) CEO Terry Holohan, along with two other company executives have been detained by the military-led government in <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/africa" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mali</a>.
What Happened: The executives traveled to Bamako, Mali's capital, for meetings with local mining and tax authorities to address concerns over the company's in-country practices.
Resolute asserts that these claims are unfounded and that all official processes have been followed, yet Holohan and the other executives were "unexpectedly detained" on November 8. The company <a target="_blank" href="https://www.rml.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/11-11-24-ASX-RSG-Company-Statement.pdf" rel="noreferrer noopener">confirmed</a> the detention, stating that the executives are receiving support from U.K. and international consulates.
Why it Matters: The Malian military junta has been escalating its efforts to tighten control over foreign mining operations, as mining is a critical part of the economy.
The junta, which seized power in a 2020 coup, has been renegotiating existing contracts under a mining code introduced in 2023 that allows for an increase in state ownership in mining projects from 20% to 35%.
The government's approach has already led to similar incidents, such as the detention of four Barrick Gold (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOLD#NYSE">GOLD</a>) employees in September. The detention was tied to allegations of financial misconduct amid discussions over environmental and regulatory commitments at Barrick's Loulo-Gounkoto mines. The junta has warned it might let the Loulo mine concession<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/commodities/24/10/41571989/mali-government-threatens-barricks-loulo-mine-permit-over-disputes-on-economic-benefit-sharin" rel="noreferrer noopener"> expire in 2026</a>.
Resolute's Syama gold mine in Mali is one of the company's two primary assets, contributing nearly 60% of its total gold output in 2023.
The mine, in which the government holds a 20% stake, is a long-term project vital to Resolute's operations, with a second phase scheduled for 2025.
Despite adhering to all regulatory procedures, Resolute's commitment to maintaining favorable contract terms for Syama appears to have clashed with Mali's new policies.
"Resolute's utmost priority remains the safety and well-being of its employees," the company said, affirming its intention to continue discussions with authorities.
Resolute's situation points at escalating risks of operating in Mali. Other companies such as B2Gold, Allied Gold, and AngloGold Ashanti will now be on high alert.
Market Watch: Resolute's shares dropped 32.84% following the news, closing the day on the Australian Securities Exchange at A$0.45.
