Recently, I noticed people talking about the ETH concentration on the SBET dashboard dropping from 4.04 to 3.94. Seeing a sudden dent in that chart is immediately concerning, especially since the company kinda promised no dilution in the past. I asked my Hermes agent to run the numbers to figure out if this was true NAV dilution or something else. Turns out, it is actually highly accretive under the hood.

Here is the exact breakdown my agent generated, pasted below:

1. What Happened Last Week (The Moves)

Between June 22 and June 28, 2026, two opposite events occurred:

• The Raise: Raised $75.0M ($73.5M net) by issuing 10,013,351 new shares (plus 10.01M warrants) at $7.49/share.
• The Deploy: Spent $16.1M to buy 10,000 ETH (avg. $1,611) and $10.0M to buy back 2,132,773 shares (avg. $4.69).

2. Why Did ETH Concentration Drop from 4.04 to 3.94?

ETH Concentration = Total ETH Holdings / Outstanding Shares.

• The Lag: The company grew its share count by 3.63% (net +7.88M shares) but only grew its treasury ETH by 1.14% (+10k ETH).
• The Cash: This happened because they have only deployed $26.1M of the raise. They are still holding $47.4M in cash on the balance sheet.
• Once they deploy that remaining $47.4M cash into ETH, the concentration will recover.

3. The Arbitrage Math (Why this is a WIN for us)

Prior to the deal, SBET's Net Asset Value (NAV) was $7.05 per share.

Look at the net efficiency of this deal:

• Net Cash Added: +$63.5M ($73.5M raised - $10.0M spent on buybacks)
• Net Shares Added: +7,880,578 shares (10.01M issued - 2.13M retired)
• Net Assets Added per Net Share: $63.5M / 7,880,578 shares = $8.06 per share.

Because the company brought in $8.06 of assets for every new share created (14.3% higher than the old NAV of $7.05), this transaction mathematically increases the NAV of every existing share we own.

They sold shares at a premium ($7.49) and bought them back at a deep discount ($4.69). For every 1 share they issued, they can retire 1.6 shares from the market.

4. The Warrant Play: Why did the buyer pay a "Premium"?

No institution pays above NAV out of charity. Each $7.49 unit included one share + one warrant to buy stock at $8.15 expiring in 4 years.

• Due to SBET's high volatility, Black-Scholes values this 4-year warrant at roughly $2.50.
• Subtracting the warrant value, the investor’s real cost basis for the stock was only ~$4.99 (a 29% discount to the $7.05 NAV).
• The Catch: The warrant caps our vertical upside. If ETH skyrockets, the investor exercises the warrants at $8.15, diluting our tail-end upside. If the stock stays under $8.15, the warrants expire worthless and we keep the premium.
