San Francisco, CA, July 17th, 2025/Chainwire/--Numerai, the decentralized hedge fund powered by crowdsourced machine learning, today announced plans to buy back $1 million of its token, Numeraire (NMR), from the open market. The buyback reflects Numerai’s continued investment in its staking ecosystem, a mechanism that aligns thousands of global data scientists with the long-term performance of its hedge fund. San Francisco, CA, July 17th, 2025/Chainwire/-- Numerai Numerai Over the past year, Numerai has more than doubled its assets under management (AUM), growing from approximately $173 million to over $441 million. The fund now trades more than $1 billion per month across over 30 global markets, relying on machine learning models crowdsourced from a global network of data scientists who stake NMR on their predictions. Each week, thousands of data scientists submit predictions to Numerai’s tournament and stake NMR on their models' performance. These stakes encourage aligned, high-quality contributions to the hedge fund, and it’s working. Numerai’s Stake-Weighted Meta Model, an ensemble of user models weighted by their NMR staked, has consistently outperformed individual models, reinforcing Numerai’s incentive-aligned approach to collective intelligence. Stake-Weighted Meta Model Stake-Weighted Meta Model “The success of our Stake-Weighted Meta Model speaks for itself: it’s outperformed every individual model over the past year. As our AUM grows and top institutional allocators join us, the role of NMR has never been more critical," said Richard Craib, Founder and CEO of Numerai. “The success of our Stake-Weighted Meta Model speaks for itself: it’s outperformed every individual model over the past year. As our AUM grows and top institutional allocators join us, the role of NMR has never been more critical," said Richard Craib, Founder and CEO of Numerai. But as Numerai’s ecosystem has matured, NMR has become scarce. With a fixed supply capped at 11 million, and roughly 3 million NMR remaining in Numerai’s treasury, the company has limited capacity to continue distributing staking rewards at historical levels. The company says the buyback will help underscore its long-term commitment to its participants and maintain economic stability. The buyback will be executed gradually to ensure transparency. Orders will be placed at or near prevailing bid prices, allowing the program to unfold gradually over time. The full explanation behind the buyback can be found on Numerai’s newly launched blog.
