volume weighted average purchase price financial
"with a volume weighted average purchase price of $0.1887"
The volume weighted average purchase price is the average price an investor paid for a security, calculated by giving more weight to prices where more shares were bought—so large trades move the average more than small ones. Investors use it like a cost-basis yardstick to see whether current market prices are above or below what they effectively paid, helping judge gains, losses, and whether to sell or add to a position.
beneficially own financial
"is deemed to beneficially own the shares held by Ault & Co."
Beneficially own means having the economic rights and risks of a security—such as the right to receive dividends, sell the shares, or profit from price changes—whether or not your name appears on the official share register. Think of it like renting a car: you use it and reap the benefits even if the title lists someone else. Investors care because beneficial ownership determines who truly controls value, must be disclosed under securities rules, and can signal potential influence or trading activity that affects a stock’s price.
Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock financial
"13% Series D Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock"
A cumulative redeemable perpetual preferred stock is a type of ownership share that pays fixed dividends forever unless the company stops them, and any missed dividends accumulate and must be paid later. It can be redeemed (bought back) by the issuer at specified times or prices, so it behaves partly like a long-term loan; investors care because it sits ahead of common shares for payments and can affect a company’s cash needs and perceived credit risk.
