Strategy Accelerates Bitcoin Fundraising With $216M Share Sale
Michael Saylor's Strategy has sharply increased the pace of its bitcoin acquisition fundraising, pulling in $216 million through equity sales.

Conversely, it concentrates enormous balance-sheet risk in a single volatile asset, a trade-off that regulators and traditional finance analysts have flagged as a structural vulnerability worth monitoring closely.
