INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS FORM 6-KREPORT

On February 21, 2025, Bit Origin Ltd (the “Company”) received a letter from the Listings Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that the minimum closing bid price per share for its ordinary shares, par value US$0.30 per share (“Ordinary Shares”) was below $1.00 for a period of 30 consecutive business days and that the Company did not meet the minimum bid price requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). The Nasdaq notification letter does not result in the immediate delisting of the Company’s Ordinary Shares, and the shares will continue to trade uninterrupted under the symbol “BTOG.”

Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has a compliance period of one hundred eighty (180) calendar days, or until August 20, 2025 (the “Compliance Period”), to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirement. If at any time during the Compliance Period, the closing bid price per share of the Company 's Ordinary Shares is at least $1.00 for a minimum of ten (10) consecutive business days, Nasdaq will provide the Company a written confirmation of compliance and the matter will be closed.

In the event the Company does not regain compliance by August 20, 2025, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180 calendar day grace period. To qualify, the Company will be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for the Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and will need to provide written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period, including by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. If Nasdaq determines that the Company will not be able to cure the deficiency, or if the Company is otherwise not eligible for the additional compliance period, Nasdaq will provide notice that the Ordinary Shares will be subject to delisting. The Company would have the right to appeal a determination to delist its Ordinary Shares to a hearings panel.

On February 25, 2025, the Company issued a press release entitled “BTOG Announces Receipt of Nasdaq Notification Regarding Minimum Bid Price Deficiency.” A copy of the please release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 6-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

Bit Origin Ltd AnnouncesReceipt of Nasdaq Notification Regarding Minimum Bid Price Deficiency


New York, February 25, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Bit Origin Ltd (NASDAQ: BTOG) ("Bit Origin" or the "Company"), an emerging growth company engaged in the crypto mining business with diversified expansion strategies, today announced that it has received a notification letter from the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") on February 21, 2025, indicating that the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirement.

Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) requires that listed securities maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share. The notification letter stated that the Company’s ordinary shares have failed to maintain this minimum bid price for the last 30 consecutive business days, from January 7, 2025, to February 20, 2025.

The notification does not immediately impact the listing or trading of the Company’s ordinary shares on Nasdaq. Under Nasdaq rules, Bit Origin Limited has been granted a compliance period of 180 calendar days, until August 20, 2025, to regain compliance. If, at any time during this period, the closing bid price of the Company’s stock is at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days, Nasdaq will confirm compliance, and the matter will be resolved.

If the Company is unable to regain compliance by August 20, 2025, it may be eligible for additional time. To qualify, the Company will be required to meet continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for the Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the bid price requirement and will need to provide written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period, which may include implementing a reverse stock split if necessary.

The Company is actively monitoring the bid price of its ordinary shares and is considering all available options to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s requirements. Bit Origin Limited remains committed to delivering value to its shareholders and maintaining its listing on Nasdaq.
