Strategy’s Recent Lawsuit

Strategy also provided an update in its SEC filing about the class action lawsuit it’s facing under the jurisdiction of the US District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia. The case named Saylor, Phong Le (Strategy’s CEO and President), and Andrew Kang (Strategy’s Executive Vice President) as defendants. The complainants alleged that the parties made false and/or misleading information regarding the profitability of the company’s bitcoin-focused investment strategy and treasury operations. In addition, they accused the Strategy officials of withholding information relating to the issue as well as matters pertaining to BTC’s volatility.

The class suit sought unspecified damages, legal costs, and other reliefs from the defendants. However, Strategy claimed it would do everything in its power to defend itself and its executives against the charges.

Strategy admitted that it’s hard to predict the result of the litigation. Moreover, it pointed out that it couldn’t provide a reasonable estimate at the moment of the possible losses it may incur during the pendency and resolution of the case.

Furthermore, Strategy warned that the negative publicity arising from the event could affect market sentiment toward the company’s products and services. Nevertheless, it assured the regulator of its transparency about the developments of the case and the company’s performance going forward.
