A vital move that stands out is MicroStrategy’s launch of a $600 million notes offering, reported by CryptoSlate on March 4. This strategic undertaking was designed to fuel further Bitcoin acquisition as the company’s stock surged. Currently, MicroStrategy holds roughly 193,000 Bitcoin. To achieve 1% of the total Bitcoin supply, the company needs to acquire an additional 17,000 Bitcoins.
