In a recent earnings call for Q4 2018, Overstock CEO Patrick Byrne suggested that Overstock will not sell its retail business to pivot more fully into the crypto market. Byrne expects Overstock to do $115 million better than last year, mostly from internal efficiency improvements. Byrne called Overstock's crypto initiatives such as tZERO important in the long run, but the selling of the retail portion of his company requires patience.
