And, generally, preferred shares have been very easy to sell because, at least in the Swedish market, preferred shares are quite common. And we offer a very high dividend, like 10% per year. It's very high for an investor who can see that we have a huge stack of Bitcoin that's protecting them from problems. So it's been very easy to convince traditional financial investors to buy the preferred share, because some are still hesitant. For example, they don't like the volatility in Bitcoin.

So it's been good to collect interest for the round that's been quite positive, I would say.","length":698,"tagName":"p"},{"type":"text","content":"M.
