Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
On August 25, 2025, ETHZilla Corporation (the “Company”) issued a press release disclosing the adoption of the repurchase program discussed below in Item 8.01 and providing an update on its Ether accumulation strategy, a copy of which is furnished hereto as Exhibit 99.1, which is incorporated by reference into this Item 7.01 in its entirety.
The information in this Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, including the information contained in Exhibit 99.1 is being furnished to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by a specific reference in such filing.
Item 8.01. Other Events.
Stock Repurchase Program
On August 22, 2025, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized and approved a stock repurchase program for up to $250.0 million of the currently outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock. Subject to any future extension in the discretion of the Board of Directors of the Company, the repurchase program is scheduled to expire upon the earliest of (i) June 30, 2026, (ii) when a maximum of $250.0 million of the Company’s common stock has been repurchased, or (iii) when such program is discontinued by the Board of Directors.
Under the stock repurchase program, shares may be repurchased from time to time in the open market or through negotiated transactions at prevailing market rates, or by other means in accordance with federal securities laws, including Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). Repurchases will be made at management’s discretion at prices management considers to be attractive and in the best interests of both the Company and its stockholders, subject to the availability of shares, general market conditions, cost of capital, the trading price of the common stock, alternative uses for capital, and the Company’s financial performance. Repurchases may also be made under a Rule 10b5-1 plan, which would permit shares to be repurchased when the Company might otherwise be precluded from doing so under insider trading laws.
The repurchase program may be suspended, terminated or modified at any time for any reason, including market conditions, the cost of repurchasing shares, the availability of alternative investment opportunities, liquidity, and other factors deemed appropriate. These factors may also affect the timing and amount of share repurchases. The repurchase program does not obligate the Company to purchase a particular number of, or any, shares. There is no guarantee as to the exact number or value of shares that will be repurchased by the Company, if any.
The repurchase program is expected to be funded using the Company’s working capital and from funds raised in “at-the-market” offerings or other future financings.
Information regarding share repurchases will be available in the Company’s periodic reports on Form 10-Q and 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as required by the applicable rules of the Exchange Act.
ETH Accumulation Status Update
As of August 25, 2025, the Company has acquired or agreed to acquire 102,237 ETH at an average acquisition price of $3,948.72, which is now valued at approximately $489 million. In addition to the ETH, the Company holds approximately $215 million in USD cash equivalents.
Outstanding Shares
As of August 22, 2025, the Company has 165,475,655 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, which number includes 1,318,000 shares of common stock subject to cancellation, which shares the Company expects to formally cancel in the next few days.

These statements are neither promises nor guarantees, but involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that may cause actual results, performance, or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, risks relating to the fact that common share repurchases may not be conducted in the timeframe or in the manner the Company expects, or at all.
