BlackBerry co-founder Mike Lazaridis is staking his claim over the struggling smartphone maker once again and has increased his stake in the company.
According to a securities filing, Mr Lazaridis is considering buying the entire company, after he fired Goldman Sachs and Centerview partners to assist with a strategic review of his 8 per cent stake.
He held almost 5.7 per cent at the end of 2012, according to Thomson Reuters data.
Mr Lazaridis, who stepped down as co-chief executive and co-chairman of the company in early 2012, has now been working on his project Research in Motion and Quantum Valley Investments, a company that supports quantum physics and computing breakthroughs.
BlackBerry put itself up for sale in August after lacklustre sales for its new devices.
BlackBerry is apparently in talks with Cisco, Google and Germany’s SAP, among others, about selling them all, or parts of itself.
