Eightco Holdings Inc. Notified of Nasdaq Bid-Price Non-Compliance

What Happened
Eightco Holdings Inc. (ORBS) filed an 8-K (filed Aug 7, 2026) reporting that on August 5, 2026 Nasdaq’s Listing Qualifications Department notified the company that the closing bid price for its common stock had been below the $1.00 minimum required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market for the prior 30 consecutive business days (June 23, 2026 – August 4, 2026). The notice does not affect current trading; ORBS will continue to trade on Nasdaq under the symbol “ORBS.”

Key Details

• Nasdaq notification dated August 5, 2026; 30-business-day deficiency period was June 23–August 4, 2026.
• Company has 180 calendar days (until February 1, 2027) to achieve a closing bid of at least $1.00 for 10 consecutive business days.
• If needed, a reverse stock split may be implemented (must be completed no later than 10 business days before the compliance deadline).
• If the company meets other listing requirements, it may be eligible for an additional 180-day cure period; otherwise Nasdaq may move to delist, subject to appeal.

Why It Matters
A Nasdaq bid-price deficiency is a material listing risk: if Eightco does not regain the $1.00 minimum bid price within the time frames described, its shares could be delisted, which can reduce liquidity, investor interest, and access to capital. The company said it will monitor the bid price and consider available options (including a reverse split) to regain compliance. The 8-K also contains standard forward-looking statement language about uncertainties related to these plans.
