  • Satsuma Technology PLC Stresses 'Vote Against' Stance on Capital Return, Delisting Plan
    July 3, 2026, 8:30 AM EDT. Satsuma Technology PLC (SATS) told shareholders to vote against the plan to return capital and delist from the London Stock Exchange. The board moved to clear up confusion after a circular sent on June 24, 2026. Directors said the outcome will depend on where Bitcoin is trading at the time the company sells assets and if the court signs off. Updated payout figures now use a lower Bitcoin price-$59,923 instead of $64,255-and add in £3 million of estimated extra cash. Satsuma said it will stick to cash discipline and send monthly updates. The board flagged ongoing volatility and unknown termination costs that could hit the final amount returned.
