Rumors that Jeff Bezos unloaded Amazon stock for crypto 

On Feb. 21, Bloomberg broke the news that everyone’s favorite retail mogul Jeff Bezos offloaded 20 million Amazon shares worth an estimated $8.5 billion dollars. Sitting on that much cash may be smart for some, but with interest rates low and the US dollar still causing widespread global inflation, speculation started churning online that Bezos had eyed this moment as an entree to Bitcoin.

The source of the rumour? An X post by Apollo co-founder Thomas Fahrer, who conjures several spurious and one unsubstantiated rumour: Bezos was spotted dining with Michael Saylor, a rumour that was later dispelled.

Is Jeff Bezos piling into #Bitcoin right now?

Mingling with Michael Saylor?

Just liquidated $8.5 billion in Amazon stock?

Sitting on cash? Unlikely, he's sharper than that.

Bitcoin's price pump, hinting at billionaire FOMO?

Something's up.
