Buyback Programs
A buyback program is a method used by companies to purchase their outstanding shares or tokens, from the market. This action has the benefit of reducing the number shares or tokens in circulation, effectively increasing the value of remaining tokens. Also, it can reduce the risk of a few parties, accumulating a lot and having the ability to single-handedly impact the price or governance of the network, negatively. It can also be understood, as the company’s investment in itself and a healthy sign that the entity has enough financial resources.
