announcement<\/a><\/strong> reinforces the company\u2019s position as the most aggressive corporate holder of the digital asset, even as pressure mounts on multiple fronts.<\/p>\nDespite the bold purchase, Strategy is now facing growing skepticism from the market \u2014 and from seasoned critics. Notably, renowned short-seller Jim Chanos, known for his early warnings on Enron, has reportedly taken a bearish position against the firm. In a curious twist, he\u2019s also hedged his bet by buying Bitcoin itself, suggesting that his doubts lie more with Strategy\u2019s execution than with the cryptocurrency it champions.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Strategy co-founder Michael Saylor has responded to the criticism in typical fashion \u2014 publicly and with confidence. Over the weekend, he fired back at short-sellers via social media, playfully referencing an old investing proverb with a Bitcoin twist: \u201cNever short a man who buys orange ink by the barrel.\u201d<\/p>\n
