Analysis · BTBT · Crypto Assets
This 13D/A reveals that Geney Development Limited and CFO Erke Huang together control 62.7 million shares, or 15.2% of Bit Digital's voting power, after converting ordinary shares into high-vote preference shares. The preference shares carry 50 votes each, concentrating voting control with management and the former chairman. This follows the shareholder-approved quorum rule change in July that increased insider voting power, and comes just days after CEO Samir Tabar received 200,000 preference shares with 10 million votes. The disclosure confirms a coordinated effort to consolidate voting control among insiders, which matters for minority shareholders evaluating governance and potential resistance to outside influence.
