Well… if you were to steelman their rational - it’s that the investor gets the upside of bitcoin / mstr growth, but the downside protection that if it doesn’t grow (or goes down) they get their money back (plus a little interest)
The details of that are in the press release. The convertible note either pays back the loan w/ .0625% interest or converts to equity at 0.667. Someone can confirm my napkin math but this roughly means if if the price is over $1500/share (largely due to being a proxy for bitcoin growth), you might be better off taking the equity, and less than that and you could just take the loan back.
I’m oversimplifying, but this is the general idea why someone would consider it.
