Strategy (MSTR) Name Misused in Fake Bitcoin Platform Scam

The name Strategy, known for its Bitcoin reserve, began circulating in Turkish-language forex warning channels at the end of October 2026 alongside news of the company's earnings. A brand this familiar in the crypto world works as a ready-made front for fake platforms built on promises such as "early entry into Strategy shares" or a "Strategy Bitcoin fund".
🏢 The Difference Between the Real Strategy and the Fake Platform
Strategy Inc. (formerly MicroStrategy) is a US-based company traded on Nasdaq under the code MSTR. It has no legal entity in Türkiye and has nothing to do with the fake schemes described here. The company's name has been abused before: in February 2024 its official X account was taken over and a link to a fake "MSTR" token distribution was posted, and the assets of those who connected their wallets to it were drained.
🎭 In Which Schemes Is the Strategy Name Used?
- "Double your Bitcoin" adverts using AI-generated videos of company executives
- Cloned investment websites offering MSTR shares or "preferred shares"
- Deposited money being moved through a crypto exchangeTR and withdrawals being blocked
SPK Decision No. 5/173 is a warning against unauthorised investment guidance through social media.

We have covered similar schemes before in which a well-known company or person was used as a front:
- Xai Investment: crypto with an Elon Musk promise
- Crytix FX: a Tesla shares and Dogecoin planTR
- NewRockwood: fake interview adverts
🧭 How Does the Legal Process Work?
- The authorisation of the website invested in and its SPK recordTR are checked.
- The flow of money is documented and the criminal complaint process is started.
- Routes towards a refund are assessed in parallel.
