$300M market. 32 BTC. One SEC filing.

@Strategy told the world they sold by May 31.

@Polymarket knows what they're doing. I trust they'll do right by their own rules.

6/ The cleanest way out?

Refund YES positions or 50/50 split.

The question was ambiguous, but the 8-K proves the intent.

Pretending this market doesn't exist is no longer an option.

The world is watching. Your own rules in the balance.

@Polymarket, ball's in your court.

[16Capital @16Capitalism]

4/ This isn't just about 300M. It's about the future of the platform.

This story is everywhere. 11K likes on @willo2_Poly 's post. Thousands of replies. Crypto Twitter is watching.

Ignoring this is simply not +EV.

5/ UMA WILL vote No — that's fine. But UMA isn't the final word.

@Polymarket has overturned an UMA resolution before. 2024.

"Was Barron Trump involved in $DJT?" UMA voted No. Polymarket overruled it when the truth came out.

3/ But here's the real problem — PM is in a deadlock:

If they rule NO:
- Destroys their credibility
- Lose future customers
- Regulators worldwide take notice
- Lose prediction market to competitors

If they rule YES:
- Lose whales and their backing
- Admit fraud

[16Capital @16Capitalism]

3/ PM's own docs:

"Clarifications cannot change the fundamental intent of the question."

Not my rule. Theirs. https://t.co/cWyAdunjOe

The question: "Did they sell by May 31?" The answer: Yes. The SEC filing proves it.

[16Capital @16Capitalism]

2/ The market resolution source says:

"information from MSTR and on-chain data"

The 8-K is literally MSTR's own information. That's in the rules.

[16Capital @16Capitalism]

1/ Let's get straight to it.

Strategy sold 32 BTC. Filed an 8-K with the SEC.

The filing states:
• Sale period: May 26 — May 31
• Holdings as of May 31, 4:00 PM ET: 843,706 The sale was already done 8 hours before the 11:59 PM deadline.

[16Capital @16Capitalism]

@0xNapalm Also;

1. The initial market end date is 1st July 2026
2. In their own docs they said "The clarification can not change the fundamental intent of the question"
3. Question in place is "MicroStrategy sells any Bitcoin by 31st May"

Only way is to refund YES or 50/50 odds

[16Capital @16Capitalism]

@0xNapalm PM would be stupid to not say/do something here since it got so much traction. It's practically a deadlock for them; either lose future prediction market or lose the whales.

If NO; ruin their reputation and lose the prediction market race & stricter enforcement from Countries

[Napalm @0xNapalm]

BUT Polymarket has already overturned an UMA resolution before

back in 2024

the market "Was Barron Trump involved in $DJT?" was resolved to "No" by UMA. but after the resolution, it became clear that Barron was in fact involved in some capacity

instead of hiding behind the oracle result, Polymarket publicly stated that the market had not resolved to the truth.

they refunded YES holders and paid them out despite UMA's official outcome

reasoning was simple: as prediction markets become an important source of information, getting to the truth matters more than blindly following a flawed oracle resolution.

point isn't whether that decision was right or wrong.

point is that there is already a precedent where Polymarket stepped in after an UMA resolution because they believed the outcome did not reflect reality.

so when people say "UMA decides and that's the end of it," it's worth remembering that Polymarket itself has taken a different view in the past

but this situation is a bit different, since we're already seeing the team's view reflected in the market comments

so 10 hours and we will see the result

[willo2 @willo2_Poly]

I was just scammed for $500K by Polymarket.

I am "willo2", the top holder of YES on "MicroStrategy sells Bitcoin by May 31st".

Here's what happened:

[16Capital @16Capitalism]

$BTC
This is not looking good in any possible way.
- Doubletop with double CHOCH
- Daily previous low below

Chances are we go to the downside first before anything

Only 22% of S&P 500 stocks beat the index over the last 30 days. That is the 3rd lowest reading since 1996. The rally is not shared. It is concentrated. When 80% of stocks underperform, you are not in a bull market. You are in a bubble.

Two space stocks. One shared thesis. AST SpaceMobile at $73 and Firefly Aerospace at $39. Here is why this risk-reward is the most compelling setup in the sector.👇
