Legal Proceedings Against Strategy and Its Executives
As detailed in Strategy’s SEC filing, a class action lawsuit was initiated on May 16 against the firm, its co-founder Michael Saylor, CEO Phong Le, and Executive Vice President Andrew Kang. The lawsuit claims that Strategy and its leadership violated the Securities Exchange Act.
Anas Hamza, representing the class of investors, alleges that between April 30, 2024, and April 4, 2025, the defendants issued false and misleading statements regarding Strategy’s Bitcoin Treasury. The lawsuit further contends that Strategy and its executives did not adequately disclose the expected profitability of their Bitcoin-centric investment strategy and treasury operations. Additionally, Saylor and the company are accused of failing to reveal the risks associated with Bitcoin’s volatility and the potential magnitude of losses.
Strategy and its executives intend to contest these allegations rather than pursue a settlement. The plaintiffs seek unspecified damages, encompassing fees, costs, and other reliefs.
Strategy’s Continued Bitcoin Acquisition Amid Legal Battles
Amidst these legal proceedings, Strategy announced another significant Bitcoin acquisition. Formerly known as MicroStrategy, the company disclosed that it had purchased 7,390 Bitcoin for $764.9 million, at an average price of $103,498 per BTC. The firm reports a year-to-date Bitcoin yield of 16.3%.
To date, Saylor’s firm has amassed 576,230 BTC for $40.8 billion, averaging $69,726 per BTC, solidifying its position as the largest corporate Bitcoin holder.
Bitcoin and MSTR Stock Performance Amid Legal Challenges
Despite the ongoing lawsuit, Bitcoin prices and MSTR stock experienced rallies. Bitcoin rose from an intraday low near $102,000 and closed above $105,000 on May 19. Similarly, MSTR stock gained 3%, surpassing the critical $400 mark.
Market analysts are optimistic, forecasting a potential new all-time high for Bitcoin, which could further benefit MSTR stock. Renowned crypto analyst Titan of Crypto noted that Bitcoin has broken out from a bullish pennant pattern on the daily chart. If this trend continues, new record highs might be imminent. His analysis suggests that Bitcoin could ascend to as much as $112,000 if the breakout holds.
At the time of this report, Bitcoin is trading at approximately $105,500, reflecting a 3% increase over the past 24 hours, according to CoinMarketCap data.
