MicroStrategy is continuing to feed its bitcoin buying binge with even more cash than originally planned.
The software technology company has increased the size of its convertible debt offering, first announced on Tuesday, to about $1 billion from $600 million.
According to an SEC filing, MicroStrategy's debt offering is now $900 million, with an option for the offering to be upsized by an additional $150 million if demand from investors materializes.
The company intends to use all of the proceeds to add more bitcoin to its balance sheet. MicroStrategy is the first corporation to invest in bitcoin, as its CEO, Michael Saylor, sought to hedge against a potential devaluation in the US dollar.
Heavy hitters like Square and Tesla have followed its lead in recent months.
Shares of MicroStrategy fell as much as 6% in Wednesday trades.
