Cointelegraph Denies Sale Report, Says It Is Not for Sale and Demands a Correction

Cointelegraph has pushed back hard on a CoinDesk report claiming the crypto media company is looking for a buyer. The story, which cited an anonymous source and gave no asking price, also pointed to an 80% drop in organic traffic after a Google manual penalty in October 2025. Cointelegraph’s answer was blunt: it says it is not for sale, and that the report rests on false information with several factual errors.

Cointelegraph Accuses Rival Outlet of Presenting Speculation as Fact

The company said it welcomes scrutiny but will not stay quiet when guesswork is passed off as established fact. It suggested the story was built to stir controversy and drive clicks, event sales or business revenue, and argued that commercial pressure is no excuse for misleading readers.

Cointelegraph Calls on the Publisher to Correct the Record

Cointelegraph addressed the publisher directly, asking whether the goal is a credible source of information or simply whatever earns the most sensational headline. It wants the errors clearly acknowledged, with the correction getting the same prominence as the original claims, and not a quiet wording change that pretends the reporting was sound. In its view, credibility comes from accuracy and accountability.
