Business intelligence firm Strategy has expanded its Bitcoin holdings with yet another purchase that was announced earlier today.
This time, the largest corporate holder of the leading cryptocurrency purchased an additional $765 million worth of BTC.
A magnet for short-sellers
In the meantime, the list of detractors of Strategy co-founder Michael Saylor continues to grow. As reported by U.Today, famous short-seller Jim Chanos, who is mostly known for warning about Enron on the verge of the company's implosion in the early 2000s, recently placed a bet against Strategy while simultaneously buying Bitcoin as a hedge.
In turn, Saylor took to social media to warn short-sellers not to bet against him on Sunday.
"Never short a man who buys orange ink by the barrel," he said, referencing an old Wall Street adage with a Bitcoin spin.
A class action lawsuit
The company's most recent regulatory filing also reveals that it is facing a class action lawsuit over allegedly misleading statements on the Bitcoin strategy.
Investors claim that the company chose to downplay the risks associated with the leading cryptocurrency.
The shares of Strategy are down 2% in pre-market trading on the news.
