Insights

ATG Capital discloses a 13.7% stake and launches a board contest.

ATG Capital–related entities and Gabriel Gliksberg report beneficial ownership of 4,500,000 Empery Digital shares, or 13.7% of the common stock. This level typically reflects a significant, potentially influential shareholder with shared voting and dispositive power across several affiliated entities.

The filing escalates to an activist campaign: on February 26, 2026 the group nominated nine directors for election at the 2026 annual meeting and signed a Joint Filing and Solicitation Agreement to coordinate proxy efforts. The agreement also centralizes trading decisions while a rights agreement is in effect and allocates solicitation expenses to the reporting persons.

The absence of new share transactions since Amendment No. 3 suggests the focus has shifted from accumulating stock to pursuing governance changes through the proxy process. Future company disclosures about the 2026 annual meeting and any response from Empery Digital’s current board will shape how this activist effort develops.
