Compound founder Robert Leshner announced that he is giving up the battle for control of LQR, stating that the company's continuous issuance of new shares has diluted shareholder equity, resulting in his shares no longer having effective control. Leshner stated he would not initiate an proxy or legal battle, and plans to recommend community experts to LQR to help it establish a cryptocurrency treasury. He emphasized that this highlights the lack of transparency in traditional markets regarding share tracking, and believes this is precisely the issue that cryptocurrency technology can solve.
