Pomerantz LLP’s Lawsuit Highlights Strategy’s $5.9 Billion Loss

Pomerantz LLP has initiated legal proceedings against the Strategy Company, led by Michael Saylor, for allegedly misleading investors regarding the profitability of its Bitcoin investments. The lawsuit asserts that the company overstated the potential profits while downplaying the inherent risk associated with Bitcoin, in violation of federal securities laws. Filed in the Eastern District of Virginia, the case affects investors involved between April 2024 and April 2025.

Strategy’s financial disclosures indicate a $5.9 billion unrealized loss on digital assets in the first quarter of 2025, dramatically affecting its stock price with an over 8% decrease. The adoption of the new accounting standard (ASU 2023-08) was a significant factor in this loss, highlighting potential weaknesses in the company’s financial reporting.

Michael Saylor has not commented on the lawsuit publicly. “There are no recent statements from Saylor directly addressing the lawsuit on his official social media channels.” Reactions within the cryptocurrency community are mixed, with some viewing the situation as a necessary call for greater financial transparency and others as an unfortunate consequence of market volatility.
