Michael Saylor, the founder and executive chairman of MicroStrategy, has published a tweet to announce his company’s intention to raise additional funds to buy Bitcoin this year.
MSTR to raise $2 billion to expand Bitcoin holdings
Vocal Bitcoin evangelist Saylor shared a link to a press release that states that MicroStrategy targets a new fundraising goal for the first quarter this year in order to obtain additional $2 billion to accumulate another big Bitcoin batch.

That stock will be senior to the company’s A class common stock, the press release stresses.
