Analysis · BTBT · Crypto Assets
Two governance changes that shift power dynamics have now been ratified by shareholders. A lower quorum threshold makes it easier for insiders to pass resolutions, while a new 15-million-share equity incentive plan introduces potential dilution of roughly 4.3% of outstanding shares. Both measures were flagged as controversial in the proxy, and their approval cements insider-friendly governance at a time when the company is burning cash and relying on dilutive financing.
