Now billing itself as a Bitcoin Development Company, MicroStrategy (MSTR) Wednesday afternoon filed to raise $500 million in a convertible debt offering, with intentions to use the proceeds to purchase more bitcoin , according to a press release.
The company only days ago closed on an $800 convertible debt raise (upsized from an originally planned $600 million), with those proceeds plus some dollars already in the bank used to acquire another 12,000 bitcoin for $821.7 million.

Following that buy, MicroStrategy's stack stood at 205,000 bitcoins, now worth just shy of $15 billion. Assuming bitcoin remains around its current $73,000 level, the company would be able to purchase somewhere in area of 6,800 addition tokens with proceeds from this latest offering.
MSTR shares are down marginally in after hours trading after gaining 10.85% during the regular session to an all-time high close of $1,766. The stock's now up 158% year-to-date alongside bitcoin's rise to a record high above $73,000.

Telegram Ring Ran Pump-and-Dump Network That Netted $800K in a Month: Solidus Labs
A Solidus Labs investigation details how an invite-only Telegram group used bots, fake narratives and rapid token deployments across Solana and BNB Chain to manipulate markets.
What to know:
- PumpCell orchestrated synchronized token launches, sniper-bot buys and meme-driven hype campaigns to inflate micro-cap tokens to seven-figure valuations within minutes, according to a new forensic investigation by Solidus Labs.
- The group generated an estimated $800,000 in October 2025, moving funds through centralized exchanges and an OTC cash broker to allegedly evade compliance controls.
- Solidus says crypto’s AMM-driven markets, bot execution and cross-chain pseudonymity make such schemes difficult for legacy monitoring tools to detect — and warns PumpCell reflects a broader, evolving pattern of digital-asset abuse.
