Strategy Inc board director Jarrod Patten offloads another 700 shares as MSTR stock price falls more than 20% YTD. He continues to sell shares, with 2,100 shares sold in a week.

MicroStrategy Class A stock is facing selling pressure amid share dilution, lower analyst forecasts, and a massive correction in the US stock market amid the US-Iran war.

Strategy Director Jarrod Patten Sells More Class A Common Shares

According to the latest SEC filing, Strategy director Jarrod Patten sold another 700 MSTR Class A common stock worth $87,248. The latest selloff comes following recent insider sales by CEO Phong Le, CFO Andrew Kang, and former executive vice president Wei-Ming Shao.

In a week, he has sold 2,100 MSTR stocks. While Strategy paused Bitcoin buying, recent stock dilutions weighed on investor sentiment as the stock market fell nearly 10% amid Middle East tensions.
