MicroStrategy Inc. filed a “shelf” registration with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to sell as much as $1 billion in common shares for general purposes, including the purchase of more Bitcoin.

The enterprise software maker announced earlier Monday that it had completed the sale of $500 million in senior secured notes that will be used to acquire the digital currency.
