650,000 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
This prospectus supplement supplements the prospectus dated November 6, 2024, as amended by the prospectus dated May 13, 2025 (the “Prospectus”), which forms a part of our registration statement on Form S-1 (No. 333-282536).

The Prospectus relates to the offer and resale of up to 650,000 shares of our common stock, $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), by B. Riley Principal Capital II, LLC (the “Selling Stockholder”). The shares included in this Prospectus consist of shares of Common Stock that we have issued or that we may, in our discretion, elect to issue and sell to the Selling Stockholder, from time to time after the date of this Prospectus, pursuant to a Common Stock Purchase Agreement we entered into with the Selling Stockholder on October 7, 2024 (the “Purchase Agreement”), in which the Selling Stockholder has committed to purchase from us, at our direction, up to $50,000,000 of our Common Stock, subject to terms and conditions specified in the Purchase Agreement.
Our Common Stock is listed on The Nasdaq Global Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbol “SDST”. On October 20, 2025, the last reported sales price of our Common Stock was $5.27 per share.

Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
As previously reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on April 8, 2025, Stardust Power Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) received Notice from Nasdaq indicating that, because the market value of the Company’s Common Stock had been below $50,000,000 for 30 consecutive business days, the Company no longer complied with the minimum market value of listed securities requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Market under Rule 5450(b)(2)(A) of Nasdaq Listing Rules (the “MVLS Rule”).
The Company was provided with an initial compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until September 30, 2025, to regain compliance with the MVLS Rule. The Company did not regain compliance with the MVLS Rule during the allotted time period.
Accordingly, on October 1, 2025, the Company received a staff delist determination letter from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department, as a result of its failure to regain compliance with the MVLS Rule.
The Company intends to timely request a hearing before a Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”). This hearing request will automatically stay Nasdaq’s delisting of the Company’s common stock and warrants pending the Panel’s decision and any extension provided by the Panel. The Company intends to present its plan of compliance, which may include a transfer to the Nasdaq Capital Market listing tier.
As previously reported by Stardust on March 24, 2025, the Company received deficiency letters from the Staff on March 18, 2025, and March 19, 2025, notifying the Company that it was not in compliance with (i) Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(C) requiring a listed company to maintain a minimum Market Value of Publicly Held Shares, as defined by Nasdaq, of $15 million and (ii) Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) requiring a listed company to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share, respectively (such requirements, the “Listing Requirements”). In accordance with Nasdaq rules, the Company successfully achieved compliance with these Listing Requirements within the stipulated given period of 180 calendar days (or by/until September 15, 2025).
