The dispute centered on whether Strategy’s sale of 32 bitcoin between May 26 and May 31 should count toward the May deadline, with UMA voters deciding that only the June 1 public disclosure date mattered. A small group of large UMA holders, including wallets linked to Risk Labs and prominent ecosystem participants, overwhelmingly swung the vote toward No, causing May bettors to lose despite the sale occurring in late May. Strategy’s recent bitcoin sale, the first in more than three years, sparked a major dispute on Polymarket, with the dispute settlement body led by UMA token holders ultimately ruling against bettors who wagered the sale would occur by May 31.
