BTCS CEO: Naked Short Selling Must Be Stopped, Aiming to Increase Market Cap Through Stock Price Appreciation Rather Than Share Dilution

BlockBeats News, August 12th, BTCS CEO Charles Allen of the U.S. listed company BTCS stated, "Naked short selling is a predatory behavior that manipulates the market by artificially increasing market supply, driving down prices, and diluting the legitimate rights of shareholders. This behavior harms true long-term retail investors and must be stopped."

"Today, we believe that short sellers are betting on a decline in the BTCS stock price, expecting us to irresponsibly sell billions of dollars of stock through an At-The-Market (ATM) offering, allowing them to buy back at a lower price. As I have said before, my goal is to increase market value through stock price appreciation, not reckless share dilution."

BTCS Inc. (BTCS) currently holds 70,000 ETH, valued at approximately $299.4 million, with a 30-day holding increase of 379.64%.
