With unanimous proxy advisor support and a Delaware Supreme Court win, ATG Capital has strong momentum heading into the October 14 vote. Watch for any last-minute settlement or board concessions from management, which could further boost the stock. If ATG wins board seats, expect heightened scrutiny on capital allocation, related-party dealings, and the data center strategy.
Price Chart
Executive Summary
ATG Capital, the largest non-affiliated stockholder of Empery Digital with a 16% stake, announced that all three leading proxy advisory firms (ISS, Glass Lewis, and Egan-Jones) unanimously recommend voting for its four director nominees at the October 14, 2026 annual meeting. The Delaware Supreme Court also affirmed the Chancery Court's ruling that ATG's nomination is valid, allowing the proxy contest to proceed. This filing signals a high-probability boardroom shakeup at a company that has lost ~70% of shareholder value since its bitcoin pivot.
