Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Bubblr, Inc. reported that its securities have been downgraded from the OTCQB market to the OTCID market effective February 18, 2026. This follows a notice received on November 11, 2025 that its closing bid price stayed below $0.01 for more than 30 consecutive trading days.

The company was given a 90-day cure period, during which its closing bid price needed to reach at least $0.01 for 10 consecutive trading days, but it did not meet this condition. Bubblr will continue filing periodic reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and management is evaluating strategic options to regain compliance with listing standards.

Positive

  • None.

Negative

  • Securities downgraded from OTCQB to OTCID after failing to maintain a closing bid price of at least $0.01 for the required period, which may reduce trading visibility and liquidity.

Insights

Downgrade from OTCQB to OTCID reflects failure to meet minimum bid rules.

Bubblr, Inc. received notice that its closing bid price remained below $0.01 for more than 30 consecutive trading days as of November 11, 2025. Under OTCQB rules, it then had a 90‑day cure window to restore its bid to at least $0.01 for 10 consecutive trading days.

The company did not achieve this, leading to its securities being moved on February 18, 2026 from the OTCQB market to the OTCID market, which is described as an entry‑level venue for issuers meeting current information requirements. This typically implies lower visibility and liquidity compared with OTCQB.

The company states it will continue Exchange Act reporting and that management is evaluating strategic options to regain compliance with relevant listing standards. Actual outcomes depend on execution of any future actions and market response, which are not detailed in this disclosure.

Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

 

On November 11, 2025, Bubblr Inc. (the “Company”) received a notification from OTCQB Markets Group indicating that the Company’s closing bid price had remained below $0.01 for more than 30 consecutive trading days.

 

As a result, the Company no longer met the minimum bid price requirements for continued listing on the OTCQB market.

 

In accordance with Section 4.1(B) of the OTCQB Rules, the Company was granted a 90 calendar day cure period.

 

During this period, the Company’s closing bid price was required to be at least $0.01 for at least 10 consecutive trading days to maintain its listing status.

 

The Company was unable to satisfy this condition within the specified cure period, resulting in a listing deficiency.

 

Consequently, effective February 18, 2026, the Company’s securities were downgraded from the OTCQB market to the OTCID market (formerly OTC Pink Open Market), an entry-level public market for issuers that meet current information requirements under Rule 15c2-11.

 

The Company will continue to file its periodic reports and remain subject to the reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Management is actively evaluating strategic options to regain compliance with relevant listing standards and remains committed to upholding transparency and stability for all stakeholders.
