VanEck Clarifies Misinterpretation in New York Times Report

According to PANews, Matthew Sigel, Head of Digital Asset Research at VanEck, addressed a misinterpretation in a New York Times article on the X platform. The article allegedly misrepresented VanEck CEO Jan van Eck's comments regarding Bitcoin treasury company Strategy. The report suggested that VanEck was distancing itself from Strategy, but Sigel clarified that Jan van Eck merely indicated that VanEck would not adopt a DAT strategy at this time. This statement was not a critique of Strategy or its stock price, nor was it a bearish outlook on the company. Currently, VanEck holds 284,000 shares of Strategy, ranking among the top 75 shareholders, and has increased its holdings in recent weeks.
