Zcash co-founder Eli Ben-Sasson disclosed that Michael Saylor, co-founder of Strategy, is against integrating Zcash-style privacy features into Bitcoin.

This disagreement underscores the broader industry tension between offering robust user privacy, as Zcash does with its shielded transactions, and maintaining regulatory acceptance, especially given increased government scrutiny of cryptocurrencies.
