Polymarket lawsuit challenges the resolution of a Strategy Bitcoin prediction market. Plaintiffs cite Strategy’s SEC filing reporting a sale of 32 Bitcoin. Burwick Law seeks damages and great
The Polymarket lawsuit has placed the prediction market platform under legal scrutiny after two users alleged that a winning market was resolved incorrectly. Filed in the New York Supreme Court on July 3, the Polymarket lawsuit centres on a market asking whether Strategy, formerly MicroStrategy, would sell any Bitcoin before May 31, 2026. The plaintiffs argue the company’s SEC filing confirmed a qualifying Bitcoin sale, making the market’s outcome clear.
According to the complaint, plaintiffs William Wood and Thomas Bush claim Strategy’s Form 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission disclosed the sale of 32 Bitcoin during the reporting period ending May 31, 2026.

The Polymarket lawsuit argues this filing served as the market’s primary resolution source and should have resulted in a “Yes” outcome.
Instead, the platform allegedly resolved the market as “No” after introducing additional language that the plaintiffs claim changed the original resolution criteria. The lawsuit names Adventure One QSS Inc., Blockratize Inc., Polymarket founder Shayne Coplan, Chief Marketing Officer Matthew Modabber, and unnamed defendants.
Filed by Burwick Law, the Polymarket lawsuit includes claims for breach of contract, breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, deceptive business practices, false advertising, and unjust enrichment.
The plaintiffs are seeking damages, restitution, injunctive relief, attorneys’ fees, and statutory remedies where applicable. Burwick Law described the case as one of the first major legal disputes focused on prediction market accountability and user rights.
The case could become an important legal test for how decentralized prediction markets resolve disputes when publicly available regulatory filings appear to conflict with platform decisions.
