Streamex Corp reported an insider transaction that reduced interim Executive Chairman Morgan Lee Lekstrom's immediate shareholdings after restricted stock units vested earlier this year.
According to a Form 4 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Lekstrom sold 12,759 shares of Streamex common stock on April 14, 2026 at $1.07 per share, resulting in proceeds of $13,652. The filing states the sale was executed to cover tax liabilities associated with the vesting of restricted stock units awarded on January 8, 2026.
The January award consisted of 100,000 restricted stock units (RSUs), with each unit representing one share of common stock. The RSUs vest in equal quarterly installments over one year starting from the grant date, contingent on the reporting person continuing to provide services to the issuer.
After the April 14 transaction, Lekstrom is reported to directly own 209,741 shares of Streamex common stock.
Market context
Streamex shares were trading at $1.11 at the time of the transaction report. Over the past six months the stock is down 79%, while it has gained 91% over the past year. The company's shares show elevated volatility, with a reported beta of 1.9, and remain about 92% below their 52-week high of $14.11.
Corporate developments
In addition to the insider transaction, Streamex announced several material corporate actions. The company completed an underwritten public offering that raised $40.25 million in gross proceeds. Management states that the proceeds from the offering enabled Streamex to eliminate all outstanding debt, leaving the company with approximately $50 million in cash on its balance sheet.
Streamex also appointed Christine Plummer as chief financial officer. Plummer's background includes roles at Coinbase, Morgan Stanley, and MSCI Inc., according to the company's announcement. The company further expanded its board by adding Shawn Matthews as an independent director; Matthews is noted as a former CEO of Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. and the current head of Hondius Capital Management.
Separately, Streamex issued a clarification in response to inaccurate reports circulating about lock-up agreements. The company stated that its executive officers and directors do not hold securities subject to such lock-up agreements, directly refuting the third-party claims.
