The 21/21 Plan: MicroStrategy’s $42 Billion Bitcoin Strategy
On October 30, Michael Saylor, the visionary founder and executive chairman of MicroStrategy, unveiled a transformative capital strategy set to redefine its role in the digital asset market.

MicroStrategy disclosed in an official blog post that this substantial capital will be equally divided between At The Market (ATM) equity offerings and Fixed-Income securities.
