How does the $460 million aggregate purchase price compare to the company’s market capitalization?

Short answer: The news release tells us that Empery Digital (NASDAQ: EMPD) has spent roughly $460 million to acquire its 3,913 BTC holding, but it does not give any figure for the company’s market capitalization. Because the market‑cap figure is missing, we cannot directly compare the $460 million purchase price to the company’s market value based on the information you’ve supplied.

Why we can’t make the comparison

Piece of information Provided in the release Required for a market‑cap comparison?
Total BTC holdings 3,913.23 BTC (cost $460 M) ✔️
Current share price Not disclosed ❌
Shares outstanding Not disclosed ❌
Calculated market‑cap Not disclosed ❌

The market capitalization of a publicly‑traded company is calculated as:

[
\text{Market Cap} = \text{Share Price} \times \text{Number of Outstanding Shares}
]

Since neither the current share price of EMPD nor the number of shares outstanding (or any other proxy such as a recent market‑cap figure) is given in the press release, we have no data from which to derive the market‑cap.

What you could do to get a comparison

  1. Find the current share price for EMPD on a financial data site (e.g., Yahoo Finance, Bloomberg).
  2. Obtain the total shares outstanding (usually in the company’s most recent 10‑K or 10‑Q filing).
  3. Multiply the two to compute the current market‑cap.
  4. Compare:

If the market‑cap were, say, $2 billion, then the $460 M spent on Bitcoin would represent roughly 23 % of the company’s market value (460 M / 2 B).

If the market‑cap were only $500 M, then the Bitcoin holdings would represent about 92 % of the company’s total market value, indicating a very high exposure to BTC.

Bottom line

  • $460 million is the amount Empery Digital has spent to acquire its Bitcoin portfolio.
  • Market‑cap data is not provided in the news release, so a direct comparison cannot be made without looking up the company’s current share price and share count from a separate source.

If you obtain the current market‑cap from a reliable market data source, you can use the steps above to assess how the $460 million Bitcoin purchase stacks up against the company’s overall valuation.
