Bitcoin Shenanigans: A Lawsuit That Will Make You Giggle! 😂

by

On a rather peculiar day, May 16 to be precise, a class action lawsuit was flung like a banana peel at Michael Saylor’s Strategy (formerly known as MicroStrategy) and its merry band of executives, including the ever-dashing President and CEO Phong Le and the Chief Financial Officer, Andrew Kang. 🍌

Our brave plaintiff, Anas Hamza, claims that this Bitcoin (BTC) proxy firm has been spinning tales taller than a giraffe on stilts, misrepresenting vital bits of its Bitcoin investment strategy, and possibly breaking a few federal securities laws along the way. Oh dear! 😱

Plaintiff Anas Hamza Sues Strategy

The lawsuit, which sounds like a plot twist from a Dahl story, alleges that Strategy’s disclosures were as clear as mud, misleading investors about the juicy details of its Bitcoin holdings and corporate strategy. Hamza, the knight in shining armor, is fighting this battle on behalf of other shareholders who might have lost their shiny coins due to the company’s alleged fibs. 🏰

Specifically, the case points fingers at violations of the Securities Exchange Act, which is supposed to keep the truth as bright as a new penny. Hamza is on a quest for damages for these alleged misdeeds. ⚔️

Some skeptics, like the ever-cautious Bank of America analyst Craig Coben, are wringing their hands, worried that the firm’s wild Bitcoin accumulation could lead to a rollercoaster of volatility for stockholders. 🎢

Coben has previously warned that this relentless accumulation could spiral into a “vicious cycle” if the Bitcoin price takes a nosedive. But fear not! He also mentioned that as long as Strategy can sell its assets for a pretty penny, shareholders might just be in for a treat. 🍬

Michael Saylor, the fearless leader, has promised investors that the company would be just fine, even if the cryptocurrency’s value plummeted by 90% and stayed there for four or five years. Talk about confidence! 💪

Saylor Reveals New Bitcoin Purchases

Despite the legal hullabaloo, Michael Saylor has kept mum about the lawsuit. However, he did spill the beans on Monday about more Bitcoin purchases on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), showing that the company is still all in on its aggressive acquisition strategy. 📈

Through a US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filing, the Bitcoin proxy firm revealed it had snatched up an additional 7,390 Bitcoin for a whopping $764.9 million, buying these shiny coins at an average price of $103,498 each. Cha-ching! 💰

This brings the company’s total Bitcoin stash to a staggering 576,230 BTC, valued at around $40.18 billion. Saylor also noted that the firm achieved a Bitcoin yield of 16.3% year-to-date (YTD) for 2025. Not too shabby! 🥳

Since hitting a yearly low of $232 in April, the firm’s stock, MSTR, has soared like a kite in a windstorm, now trading at $410, reflecting a 76% increase that mirrors Bitcoin’s price recovery above the magical $100,000 mark. It seems the market is back in the game after a rocky start to the year! 🎉

As of this very moment, BTC is trading at $104,860, marking a 23% surge over the month, and only 3.6% shy of its all-time high of $109,000 reached last January. Year-to-date, the leading cryptocurrency is up 57%, according to CoinGecko data. What a wild ride! 🚀
