Robinhood is to be approved a new share buyback program of $1.5 billion, giving the company more than $1.1 billion as management expresses confidence in its strategy and financial strength.
The company said it expects to issue a renewed license in about three years, keeping the flexibility to move faster if the market allows.
The new system builds on what Robinhood has done before. The company first launched a $1 billion share buyback program in May 2024, and then raised the total authorization by $500 million in April 2025.
As of February 2026, Robinhood had already spent about $910 million to buy back about 22 million shares at an average price of $40.64, and its March 2026 financial statement showed a $1.5 billion repurchase authorization as part of a major dividend plan.
The purchase comes as crypto markets remain under pressure, the main driver of Robinhood’s weakness due to its reliance on digital trading. Bitcoin peaked near $126,000 in early October 2025 and last traded near $70,000 today, indicating a significant downside if the risk factor is not injured.
Robinhood stock has followed a similar pattern, peaking near $154 in early October 2025 and last trading near $69 today, down nearly 55% from its peak.
The company reported in the fourth quarter of 2025 crypto sales of $221 million, missing the analyst’s expectations, while the digital economy sector has been facing persistent problems since the October market collapse.
