MicroStrategy (NASDAQ:MSTR) stock climbed 4.1% in Monday premarket trading after its chairman, Michael Saylor, agreed to pay $40M to settle a civil complaint over his alleged failure to pay personal income taxes over a number of years.
The company had also been named in the suit on allegations that it conspired to assist Saylor in his alleged failure to pay income taxes. The lawsuit was filed on Aug. 31, 2022, by the Washington, DC's attorney general.
Under the consent order, the company and Saylor agreed to pay $40M to resolve the case. However, in a separate agreement between the company and Saylor, Saylor will pay the settlement amount in full, "and the company will not be obligated to make any contribution to the settlement payment," MicroStrategy (MSTR) said.
In resolving the issue, the company and Saylor did not admit to the allegations or any violation of law or regulation.
To be sure, MicroStrategy (MSTR) stock can also be moving in response to bitcoin (BTC-USD) as it holds billions of dollars of bitcoin on its balance sheet. Bitcoin rose 2.4% in the past 24 hours to ~$69.5K.
