SharpLink Launches $1.5 Billion Buyback, Repurchases 939,000 Shares

Management says the stock trades below reported NAV, making repurchases the most accretive use of capital.

Overview

  • The company bought roughly 939,000 shares at an average price of $15.98 after activating its authorized repurchase program.
  • SharpLink holds about $3.6 billion in ETH, with nearly all of its 837,230 ETH staked and generating income.
  • Executives said they have not used the at-the-market facility while shares trade below net asset value to avoid diluting ETH per share.
  • Shares fell about 11% over five trading days after SharpLink told Decrypt it plans to stake a portion of its ETH on Consensys’s Linea once mainnet goes live.
  • SharpLink’s stock trades near a 0.87 multiple of reported NAV, and prediction market users increasingly doubt it will reach 1 million ETH by September 16.
