Bitmine Immersion (BMNR), a Bitcoin mining company and the largest public owner in Ethereum, announced the approval of an open-ended $ 1 billion stock purchase program to re-buy its remaining shares through open market or agreed transactions.
By sharing the shares below the company’s net asset value (NAV), Bitmine has chosen to re -buy its stock rather than allocate more capital to expand the ETH reserve, at least for now.
The company’s NAV per share is approximately $ 22.76, while crypto holders stand at 625,000 ETH (~ $ 2.35 billion) and 192 BTC (~ $ 22 million), according to A Press release on Monday. Instead of proceeding with ETH’s accumulation at the elevated price, Bitmine uses the NAV gap as a trigger for purchases, aimed at increasing each-sharing value and investor exposure to Ethereum reserves.
“On our way to achieving ‘The Alchemy of 5%’ of ETH, there may be times when our capital’s best return is to get our shares,” said Tom Lee, Chairman of Bitmine since July 8.
Bitmine holds $ 401.4 million in no cash cash, which can be funded by a significant part of the purchase directly.
