Cipher Mining (CIFR) has announced the pricing of a $1.08 billion private offering of 0.00% convertible senior notes due 2031, increased from an initial $800 million. The notes are convertible at $16.03 per share, representing a 37.5% premium over CIFR's closing price of $11.66 on Thursday. The proceeds will be used for capped call transactions, the development of the Barber Lake data center, and the expansion of its 2.4 GW high-performance computing pipeline. This financing move comes on the heels of a $3 billion AI hosting agreement with Google and Fluidstack. Despite these developments, CIFR shares fell 17% on Thursday and continued to decline in premarket trading, likely influenced by delta hedging activities related to the convertible note issuance.
