[Blockchain Today Correspondent Han Ji-hye] Recently, Nasdaq listed company MicroStrategy, which suffered a huge loss due to the recent plunge in cryptocurrency, has decided to purchase additional bitcoins by raising funds.

However, it seems that the company has not abandoned its faith in Bitcoin despite the considerable losses. In a press release on the same day, the company announced that it would issue additional senior corporate bonds worth a total of $400 million (about 446.2 billion won) to institutional investors. The plan is to invest the cash secured by the issuance of bonds in Bitcoin. In other words, they want to increase their Bitcoin holdings by taking out debt.
The company seems to have judged the current bitcoin decline as a low-priced buying opportunity.
