share repurchase programfinancial
A share repurchase program is when a company buys back its own shares from the marketplace. This reduces the total number of shares available, which can increase the value of each remaining share and signal confidence in the company's prospects. For investors, it often suggests that the company believes its stock is undervalued or that it has extra cash to return to shareholders.
pre-funded warrantsfinancial
Pre-funded warrants are financial instruments that give investors the right to purchase a company's stock at a set price, but with most or all of the purchase price paid upfront. They function like a coupon or gift card for stock, allowing investors to buy shares later at a fixed price, which can be beneficial if they want to avoid future price increases. This makes them important for investors seeking flexibility and certainty in their investment plans.
BTCtechnical
BTC is the common ticker and shorthand for Bitcoin, a digital currency that exists on a decentralized computer network instead of being issued by a government or bank. Investors care about BTC because its market price signals demand for that asset, can swing sharply like a volatile commodity, and can influence portfolio risk, market sentiment, and companies with exposure to cryptocurrencies—similar to how oil prices affect energy markets.
bitcointechnical
Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency and asset that exists only online, created and recorded through a public digital record maintained by many computers worldwide—think of it as a shared spreadsheet that no single person controls. Investors care because it behaves like a high-risk, high-reward store of value and speculative commodity: its supply is limited, its price can swing sharply, and owning it can change a portfolio’s risk, diversification and exposure to market sentiment.
NAVfinancial
Net asset value (NAV) is the total value of all the investments and assets in a fund or company, minus any debts or liabilities, divided by the number of shares or units outstanding. It represents the per-share worth, giving investors an idea of what each share is truly worth based on the underlying assets. Think of it like a company's total worth divided among its shares, helping investors assess whether a share is fairly priced.
Empery Digital Has Repurchased Over 15.4 Million Shares
AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Empery Digital Inc. (NASDAQ: EMPD) (the “Company” or “Empery Digital”) today announced an update on its previously authorized share repurchase program.
As of February 6, 2026, the Company has repurchased 15,403,738 shares of its common stock under its $200 million share repurchase program, at an average purchase price per share of $6.71, including all fees and commissions. Following these repurchases, the current number of shares outstanding is 36,016,497, after giving effect to the potential exercise of 870,240 pre-funded warrants.
During the week ending February 6, 2026, the Company sold 357.7 BTC for an average price of $67,907 per BTC, generating approximately $24 million of gross proceeds. In addition to funding share repurchases, management intends to allocate a portion of sale proceeds to partially repay outstanding debt to prudently manage risk and release collateral given the recent increased volatility in bitcoin. The Company currently holds 3,723.7 BTC in its treasury.
Management remains committed to maximizing per-share value and closing the NAV gap through opportunistic share repurchases at prices below NAV. At this time, the Company intends to leverage its balance sheet, including reducing its bitcoin holdings, to fund future share repurchases and potentially repay additional portions of outstanding borrowings.
Empery Digital empowers progress by unlocking the transformative potential of digital asset management through blockchain. The Company employs a bitcoin treasury strategy focused on aggregating bitcoin and maximizing bitcoin per share while working to build a future where blockchain is the foundation of growth through transparency, efficiency, and accountability. As a company they apply themselves relentlessly by making disciplined decisions that drive long-term value for shareholders. For them, Bitcoin is not just another crypto format and blockchain isn’t just another tool, they’re fundamental drivers of progress.
