Analysis · ZSTK · Trade & Services
Executive Chairman Michael Heinrich bought $3.48 million worth of ZeroStack shares on the open market at $0.7549 each — a staggering 87% of the company's entire market cap. The purchase was funded with native blockchain tokens, not cash, but the economic commitment is real. This comes just days after shareholders approved a dilutive acquisition and an incentive plan increase, and with the stock trading near its 52-week low. Heinrich also received 500,000 options with a $5.10 strike price, vesting only if the stock hits certain price thresholds — aligning his upside with a massive recovery. For a company that reported just $2 in cash two months ago, this is a dramatic vote of confidence from the top.
