RE: Directors buys ..........20 Jan 2026 09:57
Well the options haven't even been approved/finalised as yet and if/when they are there won't be any vesting in the first year.
From the RNS dated 20th November 2025:
"Mark Creaser and Siam Kidd hold no ordinary shares in Astrid.
As part of the above mentioned appointments, it is expected that Mark and Siam will be granted 221,468,309 options over ordinary shares each in the Company. The 221,468,309 options will vest over a three year period, with no vesting in the first year and the balance vesting in equal monthly instalments over the following two years, with an exercise price of 0.2p per option. An announcement will be made upon the grant of these option".
If these new directors totally believe in what they are doing then they should put their money where their mouths are and buy some shares right now. They seem to spend a lot of time explaining everything about Bittensor and Tao, neither of which is an easy concept to understand (or they wouldn't have to explain the basics so much) and any sizeable buys from any or all of the 3 new appointments would be a huge show of confidence in what they are doing.
