Eightco Holdings Inc. (Nasdaq: ORBS) gets Nasdaq minimum bid notice
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Eightco Holdings Inc. reported that on August 5, 2026, Nasdaq’s Listing Qualifications Department notified the company that its common stock failed to meet the minimum $1.00 per share closing bid requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market after trading below that level for 30 consecutive business days from June 23 to August 4, 2026.
The notice has no immediate effect on trading, and the stock will continue on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol ORBS while Eightco has 180 calendar days, until February 1, 2027, to regain compliance by maintaining a closing bid of at least $1.00 for ten consecutive business days. The company may complete a reverse stock split no later than ten business days before the compliance period ends and could receive an additional 180-day extension if other listing standards are satisfied. If compliance is not restored, Nasdaq may initiate delisting, which the company could appeal to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel, and management plans to monitor the bid price and consider options.
Positive
- None.
Negative
- Nasdaq has cited the stock for failing the $1.00 minimum bid for 30 consecutive business days, creating a risk that ORBS could face delisting after February 1, 2027 if compliance is not regained or an extension is not granted.

Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On August 5, 2026, Eightco Holdings Inc. (the “Company”) received a written notification letter (the “Notification Letter”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that, for the preceding 30 consecutive business days (from June 23, 2026 to August 4, 2026), the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock was below the minimum $1.00 per share required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). The Notification Letter has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s common stock, which will continue to trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “ORBS.”
In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has been provided 180 calendar days, or until February 1, 2027, to regain compliance. To regain compliance, the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock must be at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days during the compliance period. If the Company chooses to implement a reverse stock split, it must complete the split no later than ten business days prior to the expiration of the compliance period.
If the Company does not regain compliance by February 1, 2027, it may be eligible for an additional 180-calendar-day compliance period, provided it meets the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market (other than the bid price requirement) and provides written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency, by effecting a reverse stock split if necessary. If the Company is not eligible or it appears to Nasdaq that the Company will not be able to cure the deficiency, Nasdaq will provide notice that the Company’s common stock is subject to delisting, at which time the Company may appeal the determination to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel.
The Company intends to monitor the closing bid price of its common stock and may, if appropriate, consider available options to regain compliance with the Nasdaq listing requirements.
