Entities affiliated with the Bitfury ecosystem, including Bitfury Top HoldCo B.V. and V3 Holding Ltd, have reported the sale of approximately $47.9 million in Cipher Digital Inc. (NASDAQ:CIFR) common stock. According to a recent SEC Form 4 filing, these transactions took place on June 3, 2026. The sales activity emerges as CIFR trades near its 52-week high of $28.62, a level reached after a remarkable 602% surge over the past year. However, InvestingPro analysis indicates that the stock may be overvalued relative to its Fair Value, placing it on the platform's Most Overvalued list. This valuation concern stands in contrast to the stock's recent price performance.
