SharpLink Gaming authorizes $1.5 billion stock repurchase program

MINNEAPOLIS - SharpLink Gaming, Inc. (Nasdaq:SBET), currently valued at $2.51 billion with shares trading at $18.04, announced Friday that its Board of Directors has authorized a stock repurchase program of up to $1.5 billion of the company’s common stock. According to InvestingPro analysis, the stock has shown remarkable momentum with a 237% gain over the past six months.

The program is designed to provide the company with flexibility to repurchase shares when the stock trades at or below the net asset value (NAV) of its Ether (ETH) holdings, according to the company’s statement. InvestingPro data shows the company maintains strong liquidity with a current ratio of 6.83, though its overall financial health score indicates potential risks.

"Should there exist periods where our stock trades at or below the net asset value of our ETH holdings, it would be dilutive on an ETH per share basis to issue new equity through our capital raising efforts," said Joseph Chalom, Co-Chief Executive Officer of SharpLink.

The company stated that repurchases may be made through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or other means permitted under applicable securities laws. The timing and amount of repurchases will depend on market conditions, share price, trading volume and other factors.

SharpLink, which describes itself as one of the world’s largest publicly traded companies to adopt Ether as its primary treasury reserve asset, is not obligated to repurchase any specific number of shares, and the program may be suspended or discontinued at any time.

The company noted that the stock buyback program aims to provide enhanced support to the market, optimize capital allocation and reinforce its long-term commitment to driving stockholder value.

Based on information from the press release, SharpLink Gaming focuses on online gaming solutions and maintains Ethereum cryptocurrency as a significant treasury asset.
