Microstrategy Triples Down on Its Bitcoin Plan, Files to Boost Its BTC Acquisition Strategy

Yesterday we reported that Microstrategy bought over half a billion dollars in BTC when the currency traded near its all-time highest. Only a day later, the company run by Michael Saylor is tripling down over its Bitcoin plan, making it clear that they have no intention of halting its recurring BTC purchases any time soon.

MicroStrategy (NASDAQ:MSTR) is tripling down on its Bitcoin (CRYPTO:BTC) plan.A day after we reported that Microstrategy bought over half a billion dollars in BTC when the currency traded near its all-time highest, new filings with the SEC show the company is looking to expand its 21/21 Plan even further.The 21/21 Plan, which was announced in December, aims to have the company own $42 billion in Bitcoin over the next three years. To do this, the company planned on raising half of the total intended amount via equity sales, while the other half would be raised by fixed-income securities.In filings with the SEC on Friday, the company stated that it planned on seeking approval from its shareholders to boost its Bitcoin acquisition plan further. The company will now ask shareholders to approve an increase in the company’s limit of authorized shares for Class A stock options from 330 million shares to 10.33 billion shares.The company will also look to expand preferred stock limits from 5 million shares to upwards of 1 billion.This move is directly significant to the firm’s BTC ambitions as the 21/21 Plan involves raising half of the total intended amount via equity sales, while the other half by fixed-income securities. In simpler terms, this means Microstrategy needs to sell more shares to raise money. By increasing the number of shares they can sell, they can potentially reach their fundraising target quicker.
