Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Empery Digital Inc. entered a Master Loan Agreement with Two Prime Lending to access up to $100,000,000 in delayed draw term loans for share repurchases. The loans carry a 6.50% annual interest rate, mature on October 9, 2026, and may be extended at the Company’s option to October 9, 2027. There are no commitment fees, and prepayments incur no penalty. Borrowings must be secured by Bitcoin collateral equal to 250% of the amount drawn, with potential margin calls as BTC prices move.

As of October 10, 2025, the Company has repurchased 6,740,482 shares at an average price of $7.61 per share, leaving approximately $99,000,000 available under the program.

Insights

New BTC‑secured debt capacity funds a larger buyback, with rate and collateral terms defined.

The company arranged delayed draw term loans up to $100,000,000 at a fixed 6.50%, due on October 9, 2026 with a one‑year extension option. Funds are designated for share repurchases, aligning financing directly with capital returns. Absence of commitment fees and prepayment penalties adds flexibility around timing of draws.

Collateral is Bitcoin at 250% of any amount borrowed, which introduces market‑price sensitivity via margin calls or collateral returns. This structure ties liquidity and leverage to BTC volatility, affecting available capacity and operational cash if prices swing.

The buyback authorization increased to $150,000,000 through July 24, 2027, with about $99,000,000 remaining. Actual impact depends on draw timing, BTC price dynamics, and repurchase execution under prevailing market conditions.

Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Master Loan Agreement

 

On October 12, 2025, Empery Digital Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Master Loan Agreement (the “MLA”) with Two Prime Lending Limited (the “Lender”) to obtain additional capital in the form of delayed draw term loans, the proceeds of which shall be applied towards share repurchases by the Company. Under the MLA, the Company may borrow, in one or more draws, an aggregate principal amount of up to $100 million, through October 9, 2026, at which date, all such loans, together with any accrued and unpaid interest and related obligations, shall become due and payable in their entirety. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company has the option, in its sole discretion, to extend the due date of all such loans for one additional year, to October 9, 2027. Further, the MLA was not subject to any commitment fees and borrowings can be repaid early without any prepayment penalty or premium. The interest rate applicable to all outstanding loans will be 6.50% per annum. The Company must initially provide the Lender with Bitcoin (BTC) equal to 250% of any amount borrowed as collateral, which is subject to additional margin calls or return of collateral based on the change in BTC’s price over the term of the outstanding loans.

 

The foregoing description of the MLA is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the MLA, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.

 

Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation Under an Off Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
