New York Firm Sues Strategy Over Bitcoin Disclosures

Bitcoin Investment Lawsuit Against Strategy

Pomerantz LLP, a New York law firm, has initiated a class action lawsuit against Strategy’s executives in the US District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, alleging misleading disclosures about its Bitcoin investment.

The lawsuit highlights the crucial role of accurate risk disclosure as Bitcoin remains a major component of corporate treasuries and an influential market force.

Pomerantz LLP has filed a lawsuit against Strategy, led by Michael Saylor, Phong Le, and Andrew Kang, focusing on alleged misleading disclosures about Bitcoin investments. The class action targets disclosures between April 2024 and April 2025.

The lawsuit claims unrealized losses of $5.9 billion due to Bitcoin’s volatile nature, impacting investor perception. Some industry experts, including Craig Coben, see this as a potential threat if Bitcoin values drop further.

“A purported class-action lawsuit was filed in the US District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia against the company’s executives […] [alleging] false and/or misleading statements with respect to […] the anticipated profitability of our Bitcoin-focused investment strategy and treasury operations, and the various risks associated with bitcoin’s volatility.” – Michael Saylor, Chairman, Strategy

As Bitcoin underpins Strategy’s treasury, the lawsuit challenges corporate confidence in digital assets. No new SEC or CFTC statements have been issued, but industry voices debate fair disclosure standards.

Potential outcomes of this lawsuit include shifts in corporate Bitcoin strategy, regulatory scrutiny, and share market fluctuations. The lawsuit underscores risks inherent in managing substantial Bitcoin assets.
