Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Bit Origin Ltd (BTOG) implemented a 1-for-5 reverse stock split of its Class A and Class B ordinary shares, effective August 21, 2026, following approval at an extraordinary general meeting. Every five pre-split shares were combined into one post-split share, with fractional entitlements rounded up to one full share.

The reverse split reduced outstanding shares to approximately 799,914 Class A and 21,043 Class B shares and increased par value to $0.0003 per share, while proportionally reducing authorized share counts. All options, warrants and convertible securities were adjusted to keep aggregate economic terms similar. The action is intended to help maintain compliance with Nasdaq’s $1.00 minimum bid price requirement.

Filing Explained

The split is effective, but debt and warrant terms can be repriced downward on the 16th trading day if market-price conditions are met.

With the reverse split effective on August 21, 2026, the filing adds a contingent repricing feature for five secured convertible debentures with aggregate original principal of approximately $14.5 million. Their conversion price may be reduced, but not increased, on the 16th trading day after the split if the filing’s market-price test is met.

The debenture test uses the average of the five lowest daily VWAPs during a specified 15-trading-day period. The filing therefore establishes a possible future change to the conversion terms, rather than reporting that a repricing has already occurred.

The filing also reports warrants to purchase 272,359 Class A ordinary shares at $1.15 per share. If their separate market-price test is met on the same 16th-trading-day checkpoint, the exercise price may be reduced, while the warrant share count is adjusted so the aggregate exercise price remains unchanged.

The material checkpoint is the 16th trading day after the split’s effective date; the filing’s defined VWAP windows determine whether either adjustment applies.

Reverse Stock Split financial
"The implementation of a share consolidation ... (the “Reverse Stock Split”)"
A reverse stock split reduces a company's number of outstanding shares while raising the price per share proportionally, so the total value of each investor's holding is unchanged; a 1-for-10 split turns 100 shares worth $1 each into 10 shares worth $10 each. Companies often do this to regain compliance with an exchange's minimum price rule or to attract investors who avoid very low-priced stocks.
Event Market Price financial
"If the Event Market Price (as defined below) is less than the conversion price"
Warrant Event Market Price financial
"If the Warrant Event Market Price (defined below) is less than the exercise price"
Volume-Weighted Average Price financial
"means the quotient determined by dividing (x) the sum of the Volume-Weighted Average Price"
Volume-weighted average price (VWAP) is the average price of a stock over a specific time period where each trade is weighted by the number of shares traded, so larger trades influence the average more than small ones. Investors and traders use VWAP as a reference point to judge whether trades are happening at relatively good or poor prices—like checking the average price paid for an item at a market where bulk purchases count more than single-item buys.
Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) regulatory
"intended for the Company to maintain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2)"
secured convertible debentures financial
"the Company has five outstanding secured convertible debentures in an aggregate"
A secured convertible debenture is a company loan that is backed by specific assets and can be exchanged for the company’s shares under agreed terms. Think of it as a mortgage-like loan that also carries an option to switch into ownership; it matters to investors because it gives lenders higher priority for repayment and interest income while also posing potential future share dilution if the debt is converted to equity.

INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS FORM 6-K REPORT

 

At the extraordinary general meeting (the “EGM”) of shareholders of BIT ORIGIN LTD (the “Company”) held on  August 11, 2026, at 10:00 p.m., Singapore Time (August 11, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time), the following matters, among others, were approved and authorized:

 

The implementation of a share consolidation of the Company’s issued and unissued Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares, par value US$0.00006 each, at a ratio of five (5)-for-one (1), such that every five (5) Class A ordinary shares of a par value of US$0.00006 each be consolidated into one Class A ordinary share of a par value of US$0.0003 each (the “Class A Ordinary Shares”), and every five (5) Class B Ordinary Shares of a par value of US$0.00006 each be consolidated into one Class B Ordinary Share of a par value of US$0.0003 each (the “Class B Ordinary Shares” )(the “Reverse Stock Split”), and the rounding up of any fractional shares resulting from the Reverse Stock Split to the nearest whole ordinary share, which shall take effect on August 21, 2026.

 

Upon the opening of the market on August 21, 2026, the Company’s Class A Ordinary Shares began trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) on a post-Reverse Stock Split basis under the current symbol “BTOG”.

 

Every five (5) outstanding Class A ordinary shares or Class B ordinary shares were combined into and automatically became one post-Reverse Stock Split Class A Ordinary Share or Class B Ordinary Share, respectively. No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Instead, the Company will issue one full post-Reverse Stock Split Class A Ordinary Share or Class B Ordinary Share, as applicable, to any shareholder who would have been entitled to receive a fractional share as a result of the process. The new CUSIP number following the Reverse Stock Split is G21621209.

 

The Reverse Stock Split will reduce the number of outstanding shares of the Company from 3,999,568 Class A ordinary Shares of a par value of US$0.00006 each and 105,211 Class B Ordinary Shares of a par value of US$0.00006 each to approximately 799,914 Class A Ordinary Shares of a par value of US$0.0003 each and approximately 21,043 Class B Ordinary Shares of a par value of US$0.0003 each, respectively. The par value of the Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares will be increased in proportion to the ratio of the Reverse Stock Split to US$0.0003 per share, and the number of authorized ordinary shares will be reduced in proportion to the ratio of the Reverse Stock Split to 190,000,000,000 Class A Ordinary Shares and 10,000,000,000 Class B Ordinary Shares.

 

Proportionate adjustments are made based on the ratio of the Reverse Stock Split to the per share exercise price and the number of shares issuable upon the exercise or conversion of all outstanding options, warrants, convertible or exchangeable securities entitling the holders to purchase, exchange for, or convert into, Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares. This will result in approximately the same aggregate price being required to be paid under such options, warrants, convertible or exchangeable securities upon exercise, and approximately the same value of Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares being delivered upon such exercise, exchange or conversion, immediately following the Reverse Stock Split as was the case immediately preceding the Reverse Stock Split.

 

Except as described above, as of the date of this Report on Form 6-K, the Company has five outstanding secured convertible debentures in an aggregate original principal amount of approximately $14.5 million. If the Event Market Price (as defined below) is less than the conversion price in effective (after giving effect to the proportional adjustment as a result of the Reverse Stock Split), then on the sixteenth (16th) trading day immesidately following such the effective date of the Reverse Stock Split, the conversion price of the convertible debentures then in effect shall be reduced (but in no event increased to) the Event Market Price. “Event Market Price” means the quotient determined by dividing (x) the sum of the Volume-Weighted Average Price (the “VWAP”) of the Class A Ordinary Shares for each of the five (5) trading days with the lowest VWAP of the Class A Ordinary Shares during the fifteen (15) consecutive trading day period ending and including the trading day immediately preceding the sixteenth (16th) trading day after such the effective date of the Reverse Stock Split, divided by (y) five (5).

 

 

 

 

As of the date of this Report on Form 6-K, the Company has warrants to purchase 272,359 Class A Ordinary Shares, with an exercise price of $1.15 per share. If the Warrant Event Market Price (defined below) is less than the exercise price then in effect (after giving effect to the adjustment described in the paragraph above), then on the 16th trading day immediately following the effective date of the Reverse Stock Split, the exercise price then in effect on such 16th trading day shall be reduced (but in no event increased) to the Warrant Event Market Price. For the avoidance of doubt, if the adjustment in the immediately preceding sentence would otherwise result in an increase in the Exercise Price hereunder, no adjustment shall be made. “Warrant Event Market Price” means the quotient determined by dividing (x) the sum of the VWAP of the Class A ordinary shares for each of the five (5) lowest trading days during the twenty (20) consecutive trading day period ending and including the trading day immediately preceding the sixteenth (16th) trading day after the date of the Reverse Stock Split, divided by (y) five (5). In addition, the number of Class A ordinary shares underlying such warrants shall be adjusted proportionally so that the aggregate exercise price payable by the holder for the adjusted number of warrant shares shall be the same as the aggregate exercise price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment.

 

The Reverse Stock Split is intended for the Company to maintain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), which requires issuers listed on Nasdaq to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share.

 

The Company will amend and restate its memorandum and articles of association to reflect the adjustment of the number of authorized ordinary shares and the par value.

Exhibit 99.1

 

Bit Origin Ltd Announces 1-for-5 Reverse Stock Split Effective August 21, 2026

 

SINGAPORE, Aug. 19, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bit Origin Ltd (NASDAQ: BTOG) ("Bit Origin" or the "Company"), today announced a 1-for-5 reverse stock split of the Company's Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares (the "Reverse Stock Split").

 

Beginning with the opening of trading on August 21, 2026, the Company's Class A ordinary shares will trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market on a reverse-split-adjusted basis under the existing ticker symbol "BTOG." The new CUSIP number of the Company's Class A ordinary shares will be G21621209. When the Reverse Stock Split becomes effective, every five (5) issued and outstanding Class A ordinary shares will be automatically combined into one (1) Class A ordinary share, and every five (5) issued and outstanding Class B ordinary shares will be automatically combined into one (1) Class B ordinary share.

 

"The reverse stock split is intended to support our efforts to maintain compliance with Nasdaq's minimum bid price requirement under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2)," said Jinghai Jiang, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Bit Origin. "While the Reverse Stock Split is intended to assist the Company in regaining compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), the Company cannot assure that it will be able to regain or maintain compliance with Nasdaq's continued listing standards. We remain focused on executing our strategic initiatives and enhancing long-term value for our shareholders."

 

As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, the number of outstanding Class A ordinary shares of Bit Origin will be reduced from 3,999,568 to approximately 799,914 shares, and the number of outstanding Class B ordinary shares of Bit Origin will be reduced from 105,211 to approximately 21,043 shares, subject to the rounding up of fractional shares.

 

Concurrently with the Reverse Stock Split, the Company amended its Memorandum and Articles of Association to proportionately reduce the number of authorized ordinary shares for issuance and change the par value of the post-Reverse Stock Split ordinary shares to $0.0003 per share. All outstanding options, warrants and other securities entitling holders to purchase or receive ordinary shares will be adjusted in accordance with their respective terms.

 

No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Shareholders who would otherwise be entitled to receive fractional shares will receive one full share.
