Empery Digital Expands Financial Strength with $100 Million Credit Facility and $150 Million Share Repurchase Program
Empery Digital Inc. (NASDAQ: EMPD), a prominent digital asset and financial technology company, has announced a major step in its capital management strategy with the signing of a $100 million committed delayed draw term loan credit facility with Two Prime Lending. The new agreement enhances the company’s financial flexibility, strengthens its liquidity position, and supports its broader mission to deliver long-term shareholder value.
The credit facility, which the company has termed the “Borrowing Facility,” allows Empery Digital to draw up to $100 million in aggregate principal through October 12, 2026. Upon maturity, all outstanding loans — along with accrued interest and related obligations — will be due and payable. However, the company has secured the option to extend the maturity date by one additional year, giving it the potential to push repayment out to October 12, 2027, under favorable conditions.
Strengthening Financial Capacity
This latest financing move adds substantial committed capital to Empery Digital’s balance sheet. Together with its previously announced borrowing arrangements, the company’s total committed borrowing capacity now stands at $150 million, creating a strong financial foundation for strategic initiatives, operational flexibility, and growth opportunities in the evolving digital asset ecosystem.
According to company executives, this borrowing structure provides access to capital on highly favorable terms. It offers no commitment fees, no prepayment penalties, and no recourse beyond Bitcoin collateral, reflecting Empery Digital’s disciplined approach to leveraging its digital assets.
Ryan Lane, Chairman and Co-CEO of Empery Digital, emphasized the importance of this arrangement in reinforcing the company’s capital strength and its focus on shareholder returns.
“Management has negotiated a flexible borrowing facility that allows for a one-year extension, no commitment fees, no prepayment limitations, no prepayment fees, no recourse beyond the Bitcoin collateral, and at what we believe to be in line with the lowest available interest rates in the bitcoin-backed lending market,” Lane said. “We will continue to execute this strategy with a laser focus on increasing BTC per share in order to fulfill our objective to outperform holding BTC directly.”
Expansion of Share Repurchase Program
Alongside the credit facility announcement, Empery Digital also revealed that its Board of Directors has approved an increase in the company’s share repurchase program — from its previous authorization to a new total of $150 million. This move underscores management’s commitment to maximizing shareholder value and reflects confidence in the company’s long-term financial performance and intrinsic value.
Under the program, Empery Digital can repurchase its common stock when it believes shares are trading below their net asset value (NAV), which management considers an attractive opportunity to return capital to shareholders and enhance value per share.
The company’s management stated that the combination of disciplined capital deployment, repurchase activity, and flexible financing arrangements is designed to ensure that the firm not only preserves liquidity but also maintains an upward trajectory in shareholder returns — particularly in a volatile crypto market environment.
Progress on Share Buybacks
As of October 10, 2025, Empery Digital had repurchased 6,740,482 shares of its common stock under the authorized program, at an average purchase price of $7.61 per share, inclusive of all fees and commissions. These repurchases highlight the company’s active execution of its capital return strategy.
Following these transactions, approximately $99 million remains available under the newly expanded repurchase authorization. This remaining capacity provides continued flexibility for Empery Digital to opportunistically repurchase shares in the open market or through negotiated transactions, depending on prevailing market conditions and internal capital needs.
Management’s decision to expand the buyback program aligns with the company’s broader philosophy of measured capital management — prioritizing value creation, shareholder alignment, and balance sheet strength while maintaining a disciplined approach to financial leverage.
Positioning for Growth in a Dynamic Market
Empery Digital’s dual announcement of expanded financing capacity and an enlarged share repurchase authorization sends a clear message to the market: the company is strategically positioning itself for growth while reinforcing its commitment to shareholders.
The company’s financial discipline and flexibility in managing its Bitcoin-backed balance sheet allow it to pursue both defensive and growth-oriented initiatives. The newly secured borrowing facility gives Empery Digital access to capital that can be deployed toward future acquisitions, infrastructure expansion, and technology investments, or held as liquidity to navigate periods of market volatility.
Moreover, Empery Digital’s emphasis on increasing BTC per share reflects a distinctive approach within the broader digital asset industry. By managing its Bitcoin reserves and share base strategically, the company aims to deliver higher Bitcoin-adjusted returns compared to passive holdings — effectively creating a leveraged exposure to digital asset appreciation through sound financial management.
Leadership’s Commitment to Value Creation
Chairman and Co-CEO Ryan Lane’s remarks highlight a leadership philosophy centered around shareholder alignment and operational precision. The company’s strategy is not to simply hold Bitcoin as a balance sheet asset but to actively manage capital structure, debt, and equity in ways that amplify shareholder returns.
“Our goal has always been to outperform the market by leveraging our assets and balance sheet intelligently,” Lane added. “We’re not just participating in the Bitcoin economy — we’re engineering ways to enhance its long-term value for our shareholders.”
This strategic balance between conservative financial controls and bold capital deployment reflects Empery Digital’s broader corporate vision: to become a premier Bitcoin-native financial company, bridging the gap between traditional corporate finance and the rapidly evolving digital asset landscape.
A Transparent and Data-Driven Approach
Transparency has also been a cornerstone of Empery Digital’s investor communications. The company maintains an online treasury dashboard that provides real-time insights into its net asset value (NAV) metrics, Bitcoin holdings, and other financial data. This public resource is part of Empery’s ongoing effort to build trust with investors through accessible and verifiable information about its operations and asset base.
The dashboard, available at Empery Digital Treasury Dashboard, offers shareholders and analysts a direct view into the company’s evolving financial position and helps contextualize the impact of initiatives like the credit facility and share repurchase program.
