Numerai has completed its third NMR strategic buyback, with a total buyback amount of 3.2 million dollars in the past year
According to Decrypt, the decentralized hedge fund Numerai announced the completion of its third strategic buyback of Numeraire (NMR), purchasing $1.2 million worth of NMR from the open market, bringing the total buyback amount to $3.2 million over the past year. Numerai stated that this buyback aims to continuously support its machine learning competition ecosystem based on the NMR staking mechanism.Data scientists submit models by staking NMR, with rewards for outstanding performance and penalties in the form of lost staked tokens for poor performance. This mechanism is used to optimize the Stake-Weighted Meta Model that drives the Numerai hedge fund.Official data shows that since the first buyback launched in July 2025, the number of active accounts on the platform has more than doubled, and the assets under management (AUM) have increased from approximately $560 million at the end of 2025 to about $700 million currently.As of this buyback, the Numerai treasury still holds approximately 3.1 million NMR. It is reported that this buyback was completed before the announcement was made, with transactions executed in batches on the open market through Coinbase Institutional to minimize the impact on market prices.
