Volcon Inc. filings document the completed corporate name and ticker change to Empery Digital Inc., its Nasdaq-listed common stock under EMPD, and the issuer's shift toward a Bitcoin treasury strategy. Recent Form 8-K disclosures cover Bitcoin holdings updates, stock repurchase activity, Regulation FD communications, operational and quarterly financial results, and the use of a dashboard for BTC holdings and valuation metrics.
The filing record also includes material definitive agreement disclosures for borrowing arrangements, exhibits related to press releases, and public-company status information such as emerging growth company status, capital-structure references, and governance actions by the board.
Empery Digital Inc. furnished an update on its business by issuing a press release that provides operational highlights and financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. The company attached this press release as Exhibit 99.1 to a current report on Form 8-K. The information, including Exhibit 99.1, is treated as being "furnished" rather than "filed" under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which affects how it is used for legal liability purposes and in other SEC filings.
Empery Digital, Inc. has filed a Form D (Rule 506(c)) disclosing a $501.43 million private placement of equity and related warrant securities.
- Total offering amount: $501,428,510; the entire amount has already been sold, leaving $0 unsold.
- Date of first sale: 17 Jul 2025; the company does not expect the offering to last more than one year.
- Investors: 122 accredited purchasers; minimum subscription was $50,000.
- Compensation: $19,596,423 in cash commissions paid to Clear Street LLC and Aegis Capital Corp, plus warrants for up to 163,929 common shares exercisable at $10.00.
- Securities offered: common equity and options/warrants; no debt instruments.
- Use of proceeds: $0 earmarked for payments to executives, directors or promoters.
- Issuer size: undisclosed; exemption claimed under Rule 506(c), which requires verification that all purchasers are accredited investors.
The filing indicates a fully subscribed capital raise that delivers substantial new funding without directing proceeds to insiders, but it also introduces potential dilution through both equity issuance and placement-agent warrants.
