    Ethereum Treasury SharpLink to Buy Back Up to $1.5 Billion in Stock

    SharpLink Gaming can repurchase up to $1.5 billion worth of common stock under a newly authorized repurchase program, the Ethereum treasury firm said in a blog post on Friday. With a market cap of $3.5 billion, that would be almost half of the company’s value, but Co-Chief Executive Officer Joseph Chalom described the program as a potential resource for instances when the company’s shares trade a discount to its Ethereum holdings. “In this scenario, the accretive course of action may be to repur...

    Why VivoPower Wants Ripple Shares at a Discount to Its XRP Holdings

    Ripple owns billions of dollars worth of XRP, but company shares trading on private secondary markets don’t fully reflect that, according to VivoPower advisory board member Adam Traidman. As a private company, Ripple’s shares have less liquidity than they would on a stock exchange, so the company’s share price is primarily determined across individualized deals—often at a discount to the value of Ripple’s unmatched XRP holdings—he told Decrypt on Tuesday. “It has historically been really challen...

    Ethereum Treasury Aims to Foil Short Sellers With 'Loyalty Payment' as Shares Trade at Discount to Holdings

    Ethereum treasury firm BTCS has offered investors a one-time payment for making their shares illiquid on Monday, saying that it would help them foil Wall Street short sellers. Those who hold BTCS shares with the company’s transfer agent will receive a “loyalty payment” of $0.35 per share in January, the company said in a press release, while unveiling a $0.05 dividend that will be payable in Ethereum in September as well.
