Key Details

• Annual Meeting date: January 15, 2026; Certificate of Amendment filed and effective: January 16, 2026 at 12:00 p.m. ET (for accounting purposes only).
• Authorized common shares increased from 500,000,000 to 50,000,000,000.
• Press release announcing vote results filed as Exhibit 99.1 on January 20, 2026.
• The company filed the Certificate of Amendment as Exhibit 3.1 and referenced its 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan as an exhibit (10.1).

Why It Matters
The charter amendment gives Bitmine the legal ability to issue a much larger number of common shares going forward. While the filing does not state that new shares will be issued immediately, increasing authorized shares is a prerequisite for future stock issuances for financing, compensation or corporate transactions; any actual issuance would require board and/or further approvals and could dilute current shareholders. Investors should note the effective date and monitor future filings for any issuance plans or use of the new authorized share capacity.
