One-time buyback proposal (March 2026): Lido Ecosystem Foundation proposes to allocate 10,000 stETH (approximately $20 million) from the treasury for a one-time buyback.
⚙️ Buyback Scale and Mechanism
· One-time proposal (March): Planned to be executed in 10 tranches, each of 1,000 stETH (approximately $2 million), using limit orders or dollar-cost averaging to reduce market impact. Each batch requires separate DAO approval.
· Automated plan (approved): Triggered when ETH price exceeds **$3,000** and annual revenue exceeds **$40 million**. Uses 50% of staking treasury inflows, with a cap of $10 million over 12 months. Single transaction price impact does not exceed 2%.
🚀 Latest Updates (May 2026)
Official update confirmed on May 29, 2026:
· Automated buyback: Design and parameters have passed Snapshot vote, on-chain deployment expected in July 2026.
· First execution: The first batch of the LDO accumulation plan deployed 471 stETH, purchasing LDO at an average price of $0.3745.
💎 Summary
Lido DAO's buyback plan has moved from discussion to actual execution, aiming to use treasury funds to support the token price. The automated buyback mechanism is expected to go live in July 2026, which may provide more sustained price support for LDO.
