MicroStrategy, known for its significant Bitcoin investments, plans a $42 billion fundraising through an at-the-market (ATM) equity offering and new debt securities to purchase more Bitcoin. This move, reminiscent of its past excesses during the dotcom bubble, aims to capitalize on Bitcoin's resurgence, despite potential risks if Bitcoin's value declines. The strategy involves leveraging its stock's premium to Bitcoin holdings and issuing convertible bonds, betting on Bitcoin's appreciation. CEO Michael Saylor's bold Bitcoin predictions further highlight the company's commitment to this strategy.
