Strategy is facing multiple lawsuits over $6B in unrealized Bitcoin losses and alleged investor deception
The post Strategy is facing multiple lawsuits over $6B in unrealized Bitcoin losses and alleged investor deception appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Strategy, formerly MicroStrategy, is facing mounting legal pressure with at least five class-action suits accusing the company of security fraud. The accusations are based on its unrealized losses of $6 billion in its Bitcoin portfolio and accuse the corporation of not sufficiently disclosing risks to investors. According to the plaintiffs, the company issued untrue and misleading statements for 11 months, beginning in April 2024 and lasting until April 2025. The lawsuits allege that Strategy presented the Bitcoin volatility and the effects of the new accounting alteration in a weak manner. Investors contend that the failure to submit these risks led to a significant decline in share price. In the first case to be led by an investor, Abhey Parmar, he claims that the executives of Strategy Inc. had breached fiduciary duties and exaggerated the firm’s financial prospects. One of the main allegations is that CEO Phong Le and CFO Andrew Kang sold 31.5 million worth of the company before publicly announcing the changes in Bitcoin accounting. According to legal experts, this is common in large-scale class actions where law firms will bid to be appointed lead counsel.

The firm now has 592,345 BTC worth more than $63 billion. Strategy has an average purchase price of $70,702 per coin, and Bitcoin is trading at $106,824, an unrealized gain of $21.3 billion, roughly a 51% gain.

He owns close to 20 million shares as of the last SEC filing, which translates to approximately $7.8 billion using the current stock price of $389.50 per share. Other significant shareholders are Vanguard (8.55%), BlackRock (5.80%), Capital International…
