Yes bettors argue that onchain timestamps and Strategy’s 8-K, which reports 32 bitcoin sold between May 26 and May 31 and presents activity “as of May 31, 2026, 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time,” prove the sale occurred in time, while No bettors say the lack of public disclosure before June 1 means it should not qualify. The contested May 31, June 30 and Dec. 31 contracts have drawn about $24.7 million in volume, and UMA’s optimistic oracle will make the final determination, even as later-dated markets now price Strategy bitcoin sales as a near-certainty. Strategy s (formerly MicroStrategy) first publicized bitcoin sale has triggered a $15 million resolution dispute on Polymarket.
