Equity Compensation Analyst

CEO PSUs vested on market-cap milestone; net share increase after tax withholding and a charitable gift; neutral governance signal.

Cipher Mining reported CEO equity changes tied to performance stock units (PSUs). On 11/09/2025, 1,419,237 PSUs settled into common shares (code M). On 11/10/2025, 724,521 shares were disposed to cover taxes (code F at $19.65), and 238,000 shares were gifted to three recipients (code G). Direct holdings after these transactions total 6,979,887 shares. Net increase in directly held shares equals 456,716.

The filing confirms the second PSU tranche vested on 11/09/2025 based on specified market capitalization thresholds. PSUs have no expiration and vest, if at all, in three tranches. Following settlement, 1,419,236 PSUs remain beneficially owned, signaling potential future vesting contingent on further threshold achievement, per plan terms.

Key implications: a sizeable equity award reached a disclosed performance trigger, and statutory tax withholding reduced the gross shares delivered. Items to watch include any subsequent tranche vesting and future Form 4s that change the remaining 1,419,236 PSUs or direct holdings.
