# JUST DAO Sets $50 Million Reserve Floor for Planned JST Buybacks By John Kim Canonical URL: https://www.tokenpost.com/news/business/40121 Published: 2026-10-24T16:08:51.000Z Updated: 2026-10-24T16:08:51.000Z Section: Business > The framework adds GasFree revenue and calls for an estimated $20.34 million surplus to be deployed across four installments starting in Q4 2026. JUST DAO has set a $50 million treasury reserve floor for JUST (JST) buybacks and plans to direct an estimated $20.34 million in surplus into four installments starting in Q4 2026. The revised framework brings GasFree revenue into the funding mix and shifts responsibility for executing the program from JustLend Grants DAO to JUST DAO. It follows five completed buyback-and-burn rounds under the previous phase. JUST DAO plans to use all sustainable, newly generated quarterly revenue across its business lines for ongoing JST purchases. Purchase amounts will vary with market conditions, and the tokens will be burned on a schedule. Funds below the reserve threshold are excluded from buybacks and burns. “Funds below this threshold will not be used for buybacks and burns,” the JUST DAO team said. JST is the governance token of the JUST ecosystem, whose three core product lines are JustLend, USDD and GasFree. The estimated $20.34 million would come mainly from GasFree’s accumulated revenue and unallocated treasury funds above the $50 million floor. The DAO plans four installments starting in Q4 2026 but has not specified the amount or timing of each one. GasFree is slated to join the funding mix in Q4. The service generated about $12.027 million in cumulative revenue from its March 2025 launch through Q3 2026. JustLend earnings, mainly from sTRX staking and its supply-and-borrow market, are also included. USDD net revenue can qualify only after it exceeds $10 million and operational prerequisites are met. JUST DAO said repurchased JST will be sent to a TRON black hole address for permanent destruction. It plans to publish burn transaction hashes and round-by-round data for on-chain verification and through an official dashboard. JustLend DAO completed the [fifth JST burn](), destroying 170,723,144 JST. The program’s cumulative burns then reached 1,881,973,007 JST, equal to 19.01% of total supply. GasFree revenue and the first of the four planned installments are scheduled to enter the new phase in Q4 2026. ## Links in this article - [fifth JST burn](https://www.tokenpost.com/news/business/34039)
