That’s the thing investors do not see Bitcoin they just see a stock going up. All Strategy has to do is produce shareholder value they have no allegiance to Bitcoin.
That just kicks the question down a level. Why is that stock going up?
On the margin, I'm speculating, there are investors who believe in bitcoin but aren't comfortable risking their capital holding it directly. They may also believe in Strategy's ability to beat bitcoin's appreciation.

It’s a convertible note so instead of just getting money back, investors can choose to turn the loan into company shares. That’s why it’s a win win in Strategy eyes it knows what Bitcoin is going to do.

Exactly I think they see this as derisking into another asset from insert whatever brokerage account they use. You are unable to do that if you invest directly into Bitcoin. Main reason why I am not for viewing Bitcoin as an investment anymore those days are gone post Bitcoin ETF. 1sat=1sat, I am not saying to spend all of your Bitcoin but I am saying to disregard everything but Bitcoin atp, it’s all a wash.
