CoinShares can now buy back up to 32.9 million shares. It may not use all of it.
CoinShares shareholders approved a plan to repurchase up to 25% of its outstanding shares, or about 32.9 million shares, by 2031. The company has no obligation to use the full amount and will consider market conditions. Shareholders also adopted the 2026 Equity Incentive Plan. CoinShares had net assets of $453 million and $413.9 million in available capital as of H2 2026, with no long-term debt.
