MicroStrategy CEO says the Company Cannot Secretly Sell Its Bitcoin Holdings

Michael Saylor, the founder and CEO of Microstrategy has recently debunked the rumor that says the company has been secretly selling its Bitcoin holdings.

MicroStrategy CEO added that shareholders have to be informed of any Bitcoin (BTC) sale. And it should be noted that Saylor has been reiterating the fact that the company is not ready to sell its Bitcoin holdings but to keep accumulating.

Michael Saylor tweeted, “Not sure who needs to know this, but when $MSTR makes any material change to its corporate strategy (to acquire & #hodl bitcoin) or to its #bitcoin holdings, we disclose this to our shareholders via SEC filings, available to all.”

Rumors regarding the sales of Bitcoin by MicroStrategy surfaced after an address identified as “1P5ZED” was involved in moving a huge amount of BTC.

Following the mammoth transaction, a number of crypto analysts and enthusiasts insinuated that the Bitcoin whale was MicroStrategy or a crypto exchange.
