This event has led to speculation within the crypto community about the possible liquidation of a significant loan, though specific information is still lacking. At the same time, major global companies have made important financial announcements, reflecting broader market trends outside the cryptocurrency industry.
Anheuser-Busch InBev (AB InBev), as stated in its
third-quarter report
, revealed a $6 billion stock repurchase plan on October 29, 2025, which will take place over the following two years. The board has approved this initiative, aiming to buy back about 97.3 million shares based on the Euronext closing price. An independent financial intermediary will oversee the process, and the repurchased shares may be cancelled through a capital reduction, subject to shareholder approval at a meeting scheduled for April 2026.

further announced it would redeem $2 billion in outstanding bonds on October 30, 2025, reinforcing its focus on optimizing its capital structure. The company highlighted that the buyback is in line with industry standards and will adhere to all regulatory requirements.
In a separate development, Lithuanian bank AB Artea bankas provided an update on its share buyback program for the week of October 20–24, 2025, according to a
regular disclosure

The latest report summarized the transactions during this timeframe, with Chief Financial Officer Tomas Varenbergas available for any questions.
