The CEO of the Nasdaq-listed company Microstrategy has dispelled the rumor that his company has been quietly selling bitcoin. He explained that as a company regulated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), changes in bitcoin holdings must be disclosed to shareholders via SEC filings.
Microstrategy CEO Michael Saylor tweeted Friday dispelling the rumor. He explained that as a regulated company under the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Microstrategy is required to disclose any material changes in corporate strategy to shareholders via SEC filings.
In addition, the executive emphasized that SEC filings are public records that are “available to all.” He further noted that material changes include acquiring and holding bitcoin as well as making changes to crypto holdings.
While some people appreciate Saylor’s clarification, some are still skeptical, choosing to believe that the rumor of Microstrategy selling bitcoin is true.
Saylor has been an avid proponent of BTC. He has repeatedly said that he will not sell his coins anytime soon, noting that he will hold them for a hundred years.
