MicroStrategy: Wall Street's Bitcoin Bet and Hedge Fund Darling

TL;DR
MicroStrategy's stock has surged over 500% this year, driven by CEO Michael Saylor's aggressive Bitcoin acquisitions funded through convertible bond sales. Hedge funds, including Calamos Advisors, are capitalizing on this by engaging in market-neutral arbitrage strategies that leverage the volatility of these bonds. This has made MicroStrategy a hot trade on Wall Street.
