Why it matters
The new share‑issuance capacity expands the company’s financing options but introduces dilution risk tied to token performance.
Market read
The filing could set a precedent for token‑backed equity structures and affect pricing of similar crypto‑linked stocks.
What to watch
The discount terms for Chardan sales and the optional nature of the issuance could limit actual dilution.

Ticker impact
