Lead plaintiffs and an investor have voluntarily dropped their lawsuit against Bitcoin treasury firm Strategy, conclusively ending the case, according to a court document acquired by Cointelegraph. This action could signify a win for crypto treasury firms, with Strategy being the largest in the industry.
A Thursday court record notes that lead plaintiffs Michelle Clarity and Mehmet Cihan Unlusoy, along with an investor representing additional shareholders, filed the stipulation for dismissal.
“The dismissal regarding Co-Lead Plaintiffs’ claims and Anas Hamza’s claims, excluding absent class members’ claims, is with prejudice,” reads the court filing. Furthermore, “the Action has not been certified as a class action.”
The dismissal with prejudice indicates that “the plaintiff cannot refile the suit or amend the complaint. The matter is closed and cannot be re-filed in the same or any other court on the same issue,” explained Brandon Ferrick, general counsel for Duoro Labs, to Cointelegraph.
The Hamza lawsuit against Strategy was filed in May 2025. Within weeks, multiple law firms sought to represent dissatisfied investors.
The allegations against Strategy were consistent across the lawsuits, claiming that the company and defendants made deceptive statements regarding the profitability and risks associated with its digital asset investments in Bitcoin (BTC).
Strategy began acquiring Bitcoin in August 2020 and holds 632,457 BTC valued at $68.4 billion as of now, based on BitcoinTreasuries.NET.

Crypto treasury firms are diversifying beyond Bitcoin
Since the initiation of BTC purchases, numerous crypto treasury firms have emerged across various sectors, amassing a diverse array of digital assets. Major cryptocurrencies now appearing on corporate balance sheets include Ether (ETH), Solana (SOL), BNB (BNB), and Tron (TRX).
Crypto attorney Tyler Yagman, an associate at The Ferraro Law Firm, previously stated to Cointelegraph that transparency is vital for crypto treasury companies.
“We are witnessing the rise of crypto-based treasury firms that function similarly to actively managed ETFs, albeit in a corporate structure… the management team must be as transparent and direct as possible due to the volatile nature of the market segment,” he remarked.
As per Google Finance, Strategy’s stock price has remained relatively stable on Friday, experiencing a slight decline of -0.8%, consistent with the Nasdaq Index.
