To sate his multibillion dollar rampant appetite for Bitcoin, Michael Saylor has
tapped demand from retail investors transfixed by MicroStrategy Inc.’s more than
500% rally this year. He’s also benefited from hedge funds who care far less
where the stock trades.

Calamos Advisors LLC co-Chief Investment Officer Eli Pars has been among the
buyers for more than $6 billion of convertible notes sold by MicroStrategy this
year to finance the purchase of his ever-expanding cryptocurrency hoard. Like
many other managers, Pars uses the notes in market-neutral arbitrage bets that
exploit the surging volatility of the underlying asset.
