How we checked this
Checked on September 22, 2026. The cited source supports part of this claim, but not all of it.
The document establishes the 170,000,000-to-340,000,000 figures as a proposed amendment subject to stockholder approval, but does not establish that the increase was enacted.
Confirmed in the source:
- A proposal was put to Riot Blockchain stockholders to increase authorized common stock from 170,000,000 to 340,000,000 shares
We could not confirm this from the cited source:
- That the authorized common stock was actually increased to 340,000,000 shares, which was contingent on a pending stockholder vote
That does not mean it is false — only that this source does not establish it, as of the date above. If we find a source that settles it, we will re-check and update this page.
What we did: Read our cached copy of SEC EDGAR (https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1167419/000114036122023379/ny20004156x5_def14a.htm) in full (236,486 characters, retrieved September 13, 2026) and checked each assertion in the claim against it.
