Metalpha Technology Holding Insider Transactions Over The Last Year

The COO & Director Ming Ni made the biggest insider purchase in the last 12 months. That single transaction was for US$400k worth of shares at a price of US$1.00 each. That means that even when the share price was higher than US$0.90 (the recent price), an insider wanted to purchase shares. While their view may have changed since the purchase was made, this does at least suggest they have had confidence in the company's future. To us, it's very important to consider the price insiders pay for shares. It is encouraging to see an insider paid above the current price for shares, as it suggests they saw value, even at higher levels. Ming Ni was the only individual insider to buy shares in the last twelve months.
