SOLAI Ltd. received a delisting notice from the NYSE on July 16 after its average market cap fell below $15 million over 30 consecutive trading days. Trading in its ADSs was suspended immediately. The company is evaluating an appeal and expects its shares to trade on the OTC Markets.
SOLAI Ltd. received a delisting notice from the New York Stock Exchange on July 16 after its average global market capitalization fell below $15 million over 30 consecutive trading days, triggering an immediate suspension of trading in its American Depositary Shares.
"We are carefully evaluating the company's available options, including seeking a review of the NYSE's determination," Man San Vincent Law, chairman of SOLAI, said in a statement. "Our business operations continue as usual, and our management team remains focused on executing our strategic priorities."
The NYSE Regulation staff initiated delisting proceedings under Section 802.01B of the exchange's Listed Company Manual, which requires listed companies to maintain an average global market cap of at least $15 million over a 30-day period. Each ADS represents 700 Class A ordinary shares of the company, which previously operated as BIT Mining Ltd. under the ticker BTCM before rebranding to focus on personal AI and digital infrastructure.
SOLAI expects its ADSs or underlying Class A ordinary shares to become eligible for quotation on the OTC Markets, a transition that will likely provide less liquidity than the NYSE, the company said. The move will not affect SOLAI's business operations or its U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission reporting obligations, according to the statement.
The delisting marks a sharp reversal for a company that pivoted from digital asset mining to AI infrastructure, leveraging its experience in large-scale hardware deployment and data center operations. SOLAI has the right to appeal the NYSE's determination to a committee of the exchange's board of directors. The NYSE will apply to the SEC to complete the delisting after all applicable procedures, including any appeal, are exhausted.
The loss of a NYSE listing typically reduces a stock's visibility among institutional investors and index funds, many of which are restricted from holding OTC-traded securities. Shareholders face diminished liquidity and potential price discovery challenges as the company transitions to the OTC Markets. The next catalyst for SOLAI shareholders is the company's decision on whether to appeal the NYSE ruling, which will determine the timeline for the final delisting.
