CEO SEC Filing
• Negative Sentiment: Major shareholder trimming: Capital V LLC (a >10% owner) disposed of 37,500 shares across Jan. 20–22 for aggregate proceeds of roughly $459k, cutting its position substantially (reported 40% then ~65% reductions) — this increases available float and could add selling pressure.
