Fact-check findings
What an automated fact-checker found when it re-read Satsuma Technology plc against the sources the page cites. Only the most recent review is shown.
Read this first
These findings are produced by an automated reviewer, and its results vary between runs: the same page, checked three times on the same day, came back with 15%, 20% and 34% of its claims disputed, mostly because each run extracted a different number of claims. Treat what follows as leads, not rulings.
“Disputed” means the reviewer could not reconcile the claim with the evidence it cited. It does not mean the claim is false. “Unverifiable” means no reachable source settled it either way.
Nothing here changes the page on its own. A proposed correction is applied only after a human moderator approves it; until then the page reads as it did when reviewed.
unverifiable
3 claimsNo source the reviewer could reach confirms or contradicts the claim.

- #5[partially supported][awaiting moderator]in section: Capital Loss Summary
“total Bitcoin sale proceeds amounted to approximately £71.9 million gross”
reviewerTotal Bitcoin sale proceeds amounted to approximately GBP 71.9m gross (GBP 40m + GBP 31.9m).The figure is the page's own sum of two press-reported numbers and differs from the audited cash-flow disposal proceeds (GBP 59.0m). Not a verified figure; the audited accounts (which cover only the year to 28 Feb 2026, so exclude the July sale) are not directly comparable, so treat as unreconciled rather than wrong. - #7[partially supported][awaiting moderator]in section: Capital Loss Summary
“Satsuma Technology raised approximately £163.6 million from shareholders in August 2025 to fund its Bitcoin treasury strategy.”
reviewerThe GBP 163.6m was raised 'from shareholders'. It was a convertible loan note round from noteholders/investors, partly paid in kind with BTC.The page's own fundraising section describes a CLN round; calling the funders 'shareholders' is imprecise. The same wording appears in the summary. - #8[partially supported][awaiting moderator]in the summary

Earlier review runs are not shown here; only the latest reflects the page as it stands.
