Official Statement Regarding the Polymarket MicroStrategy Market
I have contacted multiple legal advisors, partners, and people familiar with crypto and prediction market disputes regarding the Polymarket market โMicroStrategy sells any Bitcoin by May 31, 2026?โ
I accept that I took risk. My position was aggressive, and maybe I was greedy. But risk-taking does not change the facts, and it does not allow a platform to apply an unclear or unwritten rule after real money has already been placed.
The written rule said the market resolves YES if MicroStrategy sells any of its Bitcoin by the date in the title. It did not clearly say the sale had to be publicly disclosed by May 31, filed in an 8-K by May 31, or confirmed before the deadline. A sale date and a disclosure date are not the same thing.
If Polymarket intended this to be a disclosure-based market, the rule should have said so clearly. Ordinary users read โsells any Bitcoin by May 31โ as an event-based condition, not a disclosure-timing condition. Any ambiguity was created by the market wording itself.
I purchased 49,695.76 YES shares for approximately 35,000 USDC. This is real money, and this issue deserves serious review. I will continue improving my legal materials, collecting evidence, and contacting relevant legal support. I will pursue this matter to the end through every available lawful channel.
I am not asking for special treatment. I am asking for the written rules to be respected, the facts to be addressed directly, and this market to be reviewed fairly.
Prediction markets only work when users can trust that words mean what they say.
