Nasdaq-listed SharpLink Gaming (NASDAQ: SBET), an Ethereum ETH $4 650 24h volatility: 9.1% Market cap: $561.06 B Vol. 24h: $42.17 B Treasury firm, has authorized a massive $1.5 billion stock buyback program, sending the SBET share price soaring by 5% in Friday’s pre-market trading session.

The recent development boosts confidence in the company’s future plans.

SharpLink’s $1.5 Billion Stock Buyback Plan

SharpLink Gaming has announced a new stock buyback program aimed at strengthening market support and optimizing capital allocation.

This move also reinforces the company’s long-term commitment to sustainable shareholder value. The latest announcement comes following the company’s $668 million ETH purchases earlier this week.

Under the program, share repurchases may occur through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, or other methods allowed under applicable securities laws.

SharpLink stated that the timing and amount of buybacks will depend on market conditions, share price, trading volume, and other relevant factors.

However, the ETH Treasury made it clear that it is not obligated to repurchase a specific number of shares, and the program may be suspended or discontinued at any time.

Speaking on the development, Joseph Chalom, Co-Chief Executive Officer of SharpLink, said:

Following this news, the SBET stock, which corrected 30% over the past month, went up by 5%, eyeing a move past $19.

The stock remains up 133% since the start of 2025, supported by the company’s substantial Ethereum purchases over the past three months.
