Self-described Bitcoin development company MicroStrategy (MSTR) is set to add to its 205,000 bitcoin stack after pricing a $525 million convertible debt offering.
The private placement was upsized from an originally planned $500 million and the purchasers were granted an option to buy up to an additional $78.5 million of the paper, meaning proceeds are likely to be in the $600 million area.
