After this final update, he hasn't reported to anyone whether he is still holding the shares, and likely will not inform anyone if/when he does sell considering the backlash he took when he was still an unknown redditor posting his gains. Since gaining stardom from this, he would likely face more serious repercussions for market manipulation if he was to report his sentiments and/or positions considering his renown after these events. Short answer, no one knows, but many believe he is likely still holding his shares and has never cashed out, considering he never sold throughout the mass volatility of the squeeze, even doubling down during it.

One of the top comments in the final update post tracked some of the notable price swings he endured, if you find it relevant:

"The One True King.

His Chronological Gain/Loss History:

$53,000 --> $3,100,000 in 18 months.
$3,100,000 --> $7,300,000 in two weeks.
$7,300,000 --> $13,880,000 in six days.
$13,880,000 --> $22,845,000 in 24 hours.
$22,845,000 --> $47,973,000 in 24 hours.
$47,973,000 --> $33,170,000 in 24 hours.
$33,170,000 --> $46,043,000 in 24 hours.
$46,043,000 --> $17,397,000 in two weeks.
$17,397,000 --> $26,525,000 in two weeks.
$26,525,000 --> $40,389,000 in one week.
$40,389,000 --> $29,378,000 in two weeks.
$29,378,000 --> $39,804,000 in one week.
39,804,000 --> $34,473,000 in two weeks.

Through all of the above, **he never sold a single fucking share.**

The phrase "Diamond Hands" should be retired across all of WSB. Gains of $35 Million in 48 hours. Losses of $13 Million in one day, and $30 Million over two weeks. Never Selling. Unbelievable."

There is no factual information as to whether he sold or not.

But DFV was a smart dude, and knowledgeable in the ways of the market. It would have been stupid for him not to sell all or most of his position when the momentum turned.

If he did sell, he's too smart to have bragged about it here. Since he's been silent, my opinion is that he sold a while ago and moved on.

He did cash out some he had to pay capital gains taxes because he kept selling and rebuying in. He def kept millions in cash while retaining all of the shares he purchased throughout this, who knows what he’s done with them since (hopefully dumped most)

Any care to explain why he wouldn't cash out?

the fact that even 3 mill is probably enough to last him a lifetime witout working if he lives modestly, and he never sold anything... *The accumulation of capital as a purpose of itself*. Right, I forgot.

Just unbeliveable postmodern stuff.

He still hasn't sold, btw. Came back and updated this year. He actually owns over 5x what he owned in 2021. He currently holds 9,001,000 shares of GME.

DFV SODL, but if you QANONers ever found out you'd lynch him
