What happened
Kent C. McCarthy, a 10% owner of New ERA Energy Digital, Inc. (NASDAQ: NUAI), sold 4,290,000 shares on 2026-10-14.
The Form 4 says the sale cleared at prices from $3.61 to $3.91 a share, for about $15.55 million.
The filing breaks that into a 200,000-share sale at a weighted average $3.9085 and a 4,090,000-share sale at a weighted average $3.6102.
After the sale, McCarthy reported 5,460,000 shares, shown as indirect ownership through AMC Fund, L.P.
The filing says AMC Fund, KCM Capital and McCarthy no longer beneficially own more than 10% of New ERA Energy Digital, Inc.
McCarthy's remaining shares are reported through AMC Fund, L.P., which the filing says is controlled by KCM Capital and McCarthy.
The filing also says KCM and McCarthy are indirect beneficial owners of the reported securities.
The report was filed on 2026-10-16, two days after the trade date.

Why it matters
OptimistFi's case is that NUAI needs capital or asset monetization quickly to turn modest revenue growth into positive operating cash flow.
This filing is mixed for that view because McCarthy sold a large block and the reporting group fell below 10%, while a sizable stake still remains.
OptimistFi calculates the 4,290,000 shares sold were about 44.0% of McCarthy's pre-trade stake.
That means McCarthy held about 9,750,000 shares before the sale, so the transaction changes the ownership picture without showing a full exit.
The remaining position is still 5,460,000 shares, which keeps McCarthy tied to the stock even after the disposal.
At about 44.0% of the pre-trade stake, the sale is large enough to alter the investor map in one filing.
The sale and the remaining stake are both clear from the same filing, which makes the ownership shift easy to track.
The form gives a clean snapshot of ownership, and the lower stake leaves a different baseline for future insider activity at NUAI.

What's next
The filing says AMC Fund, KCM Capital and McCarthy are no longer subject to Section 16 reporting on NUAI equity trades.
Future trades by that group may not show up in Form 4 or Form 5, so the reporting stream is less complete from here.
A later company filing that shows capital raised or asset monetization would strengthen the case, while another large sale would weaken it.
