This marks the company’s largest Bitcoin acquisition to date and follows a series of significant capital-raising initiatives. 
On November 21, MicroStrategy completed a $3 billion debt offering, generating $2.97 billion in net proceeds. During the same period, it sold 5,597,849 company shares for $2.46 billion. 
The company has announced plans for a $42 billion capital raise over three years, including $21 billion in equity offerings and $21 billion in fixed-income securities, to fund future Bitcoin acquisitions.

As of November 24, the year-to-date Bitcoin Yield is 59.3%, signaling robust growth in holdings while managing share dilution.
