That lever could support per-share value, but pulling it would shrink the reserve available to a loss-making Bitcoin mining and hardware business.

Execution remains undisclosed on both sides of the trade, from any treasury sale to any subsequent repurchase. The program began on Dec. 12, 2025, with a 12-month ceiling of $30 million for ADS or Class A…
