VanEck's Head of Digital Asset Research, Matthew Sigel, clarified that a New York Times article misrepresented VanEck CEO Jan van Eck's statements regarding Bitcoin treasury company Strategy. Contrary to the report, VanEck is not distancing itself from Strategy but simply choosing not to adopt a direct asset trust (DAT) strategy for now. VanEck remains one of Strategy's top shareholders, having increased its holdings recently.
