Digital Currency Group Announces $250 Million Share Repurchase Program for Grayscale® Litecoin Trust (OTCQX: $LTCN), Grayscale® Horizen Trust (OTCQX: $HZEN), Grayscale® Zcash Trust (OTCQX: $ZCSH), and other Grayscale Products https://t.co/zKoEWkfyk1— Barry Silbert (@BarrySilbert) March 2, 2022
Which shares will DCG buy back? According to published data, DCG will buy out securities of funds based on Zcash, Litecoin, Horizen, Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Stellar, Ethereum, Ethereum Classic, and Digital Large Cap. The company’s release informs that the number and value of shares may be expanded or changed over time. The current purchase authorization does not oblige DCG to buy back the specified number of shares.
Interestingly, some of the trusts currently have a negative premium, meaning that the price of such funds’ securities is below the value of the market quotes. Ethereum Classic Trust also has this indicator at a negative level (-59%), as does Bitcoin Trust (-17%).
