AVAX One Technology Ltd. disclosed on Wednesday that its board has authorized a 12-to-1 reverse stock split, a corporate action intended to bring the company's per-share trading price into compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), which sets a minimum closing bid price standard.
The approved reverse split will consolidate every 12 shares of common stock into one share. Holders of fractional shares resulting from the consolidation will receive cash in lieu of fractional shares. The split had already received shareholder approval on May 29, 2026, and is scheduled to take effect at the opening of trading on June 15, 2026.
As of the close of business on June 10, 2026, AVAX One reported 92,335,381 common shares outstanding. After the 12-for-1 consolidation, the company expects to have approximately 7,694,615 shares outstanding.
Market response to the board announcement was immediate in after-hours trading, where AVAX One shares declined about 4.2% on Wednesday. The company operates modular data centers located in energy-advantaged regions and provides compute capacity geared toward AI and high-performance computing workloads. In addition to its data center operations, AVAX One mines Bitcoin in Alberta and Ohio, running at an approximate hashrate of 300 PH/s, and it holds an Avalanche digital asset treasury.
