CoinShares seeks authority to buy back up to 25% of ordinary shares

CoinShares will ask shareholders at a virtual extraordinary general meeting on Sept. 15 to authorize repurchases of up to 25% of issued ordinary shares excluding treasury stock. The proposal, reported by CryptoSlate and detailed in a filing submitted to the US Securities and Exchange Commission on Aug. 24, is based on 131,780,209 shares in issue and no treasury shares at the time of filing. The proposed purchase price would range from $0.01 to $20 per share, although the company said it does not currently intend to use the full authority. Repurchased shares could be held in treasury, resold, transferred through the employee share plan or cancelled, meaning the authorization would not guarantee a permanent reduction in shares outstanding or an immediate earnings-per-share benefit. CoinShares manages exchange-traded products and investment funds and has been expanding in Europe and the United States. The meeting also includes adoption of the 2026 Equity Incentive Plan, whose Initial Share Pool equals 11% of outstanding shares plus unused shares from the prior plan and may increase by up to 3% on Jan. 1 in 2027, 2028 and 2029. The buyback authority and plan reserve operate separately. Resolutions 1 through 3 require a simple majority of votes cast, while Resolution 4 requires at least 67%.
