Robinhood Authorizes $1.5 Billion Share Buyback After Strong Stock Gains
According to Bloomberg, Robinhood’s $1.5 billion repurchase plan has no expiration date and is expected to be carried out over about three years after sharp stock swings.
Fact Check
The core facts of the claim—the $1.5 billion share buyback authorization and the development of the Robinhood Layer-2 chain—are confirmed by multiple authoritative sources (Reuters, Bloomberg, The Block, and Robinhood's official newsroom). However, the date 'June 24' mentioned in the prompt is almost certainly a typo for 'March 24', as the news was released on March 24, 2026, which is also the current date provided in the metadata. The detail about adding $1.1 billion to the remaining authorization is consistent with a new $1.5 billion program replacing or augmenting a smaller existing balance.
Summary
Robinhood Markets authorized a share repurchase program of up to $1.5 billion. Bloomberg reported that the company’s stock had risen more than threefold in 2025 but was down 39% since the start of 2026. The repurchase plan has no expiration date and is expected to be executed over about three years. These details add execution timing and market-performance context to the previously reported buyback authorization.
