Since people tend to think Bismarck wanted to enlarge Prussian possession by any means:

Prussia and Russia are close buddies in 1867 when the latter looks for a buyer for Russian America. Prussia and the US are on relatively good terms at that time as well.
Alaska was technically covered by the Monroe Doctrine, but not particularly coveted by most Americans, and the Prussia of 1867 not one of the usual colonial adventurist powers.

So, Bismarck offers enough money and assures the US government that die Alaska-Kolonie will never be militarized.

What then?

:D
