Bitmine Publishes New Chairman's Message Explaining Why Shareholders Should Vote YES to Approve the Amendment to Increase Authorized Shares
Tom Lee says increasing authorized shares to 50 billion supports capital raises, opportunistic deals, and future stock splits without diluting current shareholders.
- Tom Lee, chairman of BitMine Immersion , urged shareholders to approve raising authorized shares to 50 billion from 500 million, saying it is not a precursor to dilution and `it doesn't mean we're issuing 50 billion shares.`
- Following its switch to ETH last year, Lee said BitMine's share price increasingly tracks ether and he has been accumulating ether personally to align with the treasury strategy.
- The board argues increased flexibility would ease capital raises, allow opportunistic deals, and accommodate future share splits, Lee said.
- With a January 14 deadline, shareholders must vote on the proposal before BitMine's annual shareholder meeting in Las Vegas on January 15.
- Lee tied the proposal to Ethereum's role in tokenized financial markets, citing BlackRock CEO Larry Fink and projecting ether's price rise to support structural equity moves.
