Ether treasury firm BitMine Immersion Technologies (BMNR) has said it will repurchase up to $1 billion of its outstanding shares as part of a new open-ended buyback program approved by its board.
The move comes as BitMine’s crypto and cash holdings have ballooned to $2.77 billion, including 625,000 ETH valued at $2.35 billion and 192 bitcoin. The firm also holds $401.4 million in unencumbered cash, according to a press release.
The repurchase plan would likely be leveraged once the company’s share price drops sizably below the net asset value per share, currently estimated at $22.76. Down another 9.2% in premarket action, the stock is currently changing hands at $31.70, off from a bubbly high of $161 about three weeks ago.
The announcement comes amid what Chairman Thomas Lee described as the firm’s pursuit of “the alchemy of 5%,” a reference to BitMine’s long-term ambition to accumulate 5% of ETH’s supply.
