Lite Strategy Announces $25M Share Repurchase Program, Signaling Shift From Initial Litecoin Accumulation to Active Capital Market Operations
SAN DIEGO, Oct. 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lite Strategy, Inc. (NASDAQ:LITS) ("Lite Strategy" or "LITS") today announced its Board of Directors has authorized a program to repurchase shares of the Company's Common Stock, par value $0.00000002 per share (the "Common Stock"), up to an aggregate amount of $25 million. The share repurchase program is effective immediately, and provides for shares to be repurchased in the open market or through negotiated transactions.
"Our top priority is to enhance stockholder value," said Board Member Joshua Riezman, U.S. Chief Strategy Officer at GSR, which is advising the Company on its treasury strategy, "and the share repurchase program is one of the tools LITS can now use to optimize its nearly 1 million Litecoin treasury and deliver potentially accretive returns to stockholders. When LITS trades at a material discount to mNAV, we have the ability to use the repurchase program to step in and buy back shares. Conversely, when the stock trades at a premium to mNAV, we can use our existing at-the-market offering program to sell stock in order to raise capital to acquire additional Litecoin over the long-term. This disciplined flexibility has the potential to set true active digital asset treasury companies apart from passive structures like exchange-traded funds, by being able to adapt and monetize changing market conditions."
The Company may in the future enter into a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan to effect a portion of the authorized purchases, if criteria set forth in the plan are met. Such a plan would enable the Company to repurchase its shares during periods outside of its normal trading windows, when the Company typically would not be active in the market.
The time of purchases and the exact number of shares to be purchased under the share repurchase program will depend on market conditions. The share repurchase program does not include specific price targets or timetables and may be suspended or terminated by the Company at any time. The Company intends to finance the purchases using available working capital.
