BlockBeats News, August 22, according to an official announcement, Ethereum treasury firm SharpLink announced that its board of directors has approved a stock buyback plan, repurchasing up to $1.5 billion of the company's common stock.
SharpLink's Co-CEO Joseph Chalom stated: "At SharpLink, we are always dedicated to a rigorous capital market strategy. If our stock's trading price reaches or falls below the net asset value ('NAV') of the ETH we hold, issuing new shares through financing would dilute the per-share ETH equity. In such a scenario, a value-enhancing option could be to repurchase our common stock. This plan allows us to flexibly respond to these situations and take prompt action decisively."
The stock buyback plan aims to enhance market support, optimize capital allocation, and strengthen SharpLink's long-term commitment to driving sustainable shareholder value. Repurchases under this plan may occur from time to time through open market purchases, private negotiated transactions, or other methods permitted under securities laws. The timing and amount of repurchases under the plan will depend on market conditions, stock price, trading volume, and other factors. The company is not obligated to repurchase any specific amount of shares, and the plan may be suspended or terminated at any time.
