Bit Origin Ltd Announces Receipt of Nasdaq Notification Regarding Minimum Bid Price Deficiency
NEW YORK, Feb. 25, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bit Origin Ltd (NASDAQ:BTOG) ("Bit Origin" or the "Company"), an emerging growth company engaged in the crypto mining business with diversified expansion strategies, today announced that it has received a notification letter from the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") on February 21, 2025, indicating that the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq's minimum bid price requirement.
Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) requires that listed securities maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share. The notification letter stated that the Company's ordinary shares have failed to maintain this minimum bid price for the last 30 consecutive business days, from January 7, 2025, to February 20, 2025.
The notification does not immediately impact the listing or trading of the Company's ordinary shares on Nasdaq. Under Nasdaq rules, Bit Origin Limited has been granted a compliance period of 180 calendar days, until August 20, 2025, to regain compliance. If, at any time during this period, the closing bid price of the Company's stock is at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days, Nasdaq will confirm compliance, and the matter will be resolved.
If the Company is unable to regain compliance by August 20, 2025, it may be eligible for additional time. To qualify, the Company will be required to meet continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for the Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the bid price requirement and will need to provide written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period, which may include implementing a reverse stock split if necessary.
The Company is actively monitoring the bid price of its ordinary shares and is considering all available options to regain compliance with Nasdaq's requirements. Bit Origin Limited remains committed to delivering value to its shareholders and maintaining its listing on Nasdaq.
