Strategy is a registered US government contractor, though Kash Patel claimed that “no current conflict exists” with his $100,001 and $250,000 worth of the company’s stock that he reported late. Kash Patel, director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) , reportedly omitted reporting exposure to Bitcoin treasury company Strategy, in violation of federal law.

Pandl added that this scenario “probably does not help market confidence.” Read more
