<p>Financial close was achieved at the end of December 2024. The Empire Wind 1 project, expected to power 500,000 New York homes, will commence commercial operations in 2027. The project, spanning 80,000 acres and located 15-30 miles southeast of Long Island, will become the first offshore wind project connected to the New York City grid.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy VSME Stock</h2>
<p>By now you're likely curious about how to participate in the market for VS Media Holdings &#8211; be it to purchase shares, or even attempt to bet against the company.</p>
<p>Buying shares is typically done through a brokerage account. You can find a list of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-stock-trading-platforms">possible trading platforms here.</a> Many will allow you to buy ‘fractional shares,' which allows you to own portions of stock without buying an entire share. For example, some stock, like Berkshire Hathaway, can cost thousands of dollars to own just one share. However, if you only want to invest a fraction of that, brokerages will allow you to do so.</p>
<p>If you're looking to bet against a company, the process is more complex. You'll need access to an options trading platform, or a broker who will allow you to ‘go short' a share of stock by lending you the shares to sell. The process of shorting a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock">stock can be found at this resource.</a> Otherwise, if your broker allows you to trade options, you can either buy a put option, or sell a call option at a strike price above where shares are currently trading &#8211; either way it allows you to profit off of the share price decline.</p>
<p>According to data from&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, VSME has a 52-week high of $6.16 and a 52-week low of $0.65.</p>
