Convertible Debt

Definition

Convertible debt is a debt instrument allowing lenders to exchange their debt for equity or digital assets at a specified future date or under particular conditions. It offers a structured way for companies to obtain financing while postponing equity valuation. This financial tool provides lenders with the security of a debt instrument combined with the possibility of upside participation if the company performs well. It is a frequent funding mechanism for early-stage companies and projects.
