Insights

Loan amendment trades higher interest for lower collateral, supporting share repurchases.

Empery Digital modified its Master Loan Agreement with Two Prime Lending by raising the interest rate from 6.5% to 7.5% while cutting the collateral requirement from 250% to 174%. The lender will release 350 BTC of collateral, with further releases expected by February 20, 2026.

This structure increases financing cost but returns a meaningful portion of pledged bitcoin to the company. Management indicates the additional flexibility may be used to fund share repurchases or repay other borrowings that demand higher collateral, aligning with its focus on closing the net asset value gap.

As of February 10, 2026, Empery Digital has repurchased 15,882,992 shares at an average of $6.63, with 35,537,243 shares outstanding after giving effect to 870,240 pre‑funded warrants. Future disclosures in periodic reports may clarify how quickly released collateral is redeployed between buybacks and debt reduction.

Empery Digital Announces Amendment to Debt Facility to Enhance Balance Sheet Flexibility

 

Empery Digital Has Repurchased Approximately 15.9 Million Shares

 

AUSTIN, Texas – February 11, 2026 – Empery Digital Inc. (NASDAQ: EMPD) (the “Company” or “Empery Digital”) today announced that it has entered into an amendment of its committed credit facility with Two Prime Lending to increase flexibility to the Company’s balance sheet and support the Company’s effort to close the net asset value (“NAV”) gap.

 

The amended terms reduce the initial collateral requirement on outstanding loans and future drawdowns from 250% to 174%, freeing up collateral and increasing management’s flexibility to leverage the Company’s balance sheet, including reducing its bitcoin holdings, to fund future share repurchases and potentially repay portions of other outstanding borrowings with higher collateral requirements. The amendment increases the interest rate on the facility from 6.5% to 7.5%.

 

Management remains committed to maximizing per-share value and continues to opportunistically repurchase shares at prices below NAV. As of February 10, 2026, the Company has repurchased 15,882,992 shares of its common stock under its $200 million share repurchase program, at an average purchase price per share of $6.63, including all fees and commissions. Following these repurchases, the current number of shares outstanding is 35,537,243, after giving effect to the potential exercise of 870,240 pre-funded warrants.

Under the amended Master Loan Agreement, the lender will release collateral equal to 350 bitcoin to Empery Digital on the amendment’s effective date, with additional collateral releases expected on or before February 20, 2026. This returned bitcoin can be used for potential sales or other corporate purposes.

How many shares has Empery Digital (EMPD) repurchased and at what average price?

How does the loan amendment support Empery Digital’s goal of closing its NAV gap?

The company explains that reducing collateral requirements from 250% to 174% frees bitcoin previously pledged to the lender.
