ALT5 Sigma shares surge 10.85% premarket after board authorizes $100M buyback and $15M loan.

ALT5 Sigma surged 10.85% in premarket trading following the announcement of a $100 million stock buyback program, targeting up to 40% of outstanding shares when prices fall below Net Asset Value (NAV). The board also authorized $15 million in debt financing from World Liberty Financial to fund the initiative, underscoring confidence in the company’s undervalued shares—trading at a 70% discount to intrinsic value per management. The move leverages ALT5’s $1.6 billion balance sheet and strategic WLFI token holdings, which have gained $1.5 billion in value, to enhance shareholder value. CEO Tony Isaac emphasized the program as a “wonderful opportunity” to capitalize on valuation gaps and expand USD1 stablecoin integrations, aligning with broader ecosystem growth. The buyback authorization and financing agreement directly correlate with the stock’s premarket rally, reflecting management’s aggressive strategy to close the valuation disconnect.
