DeFi Technologies Gets Green Light for Reverse Split as Stock Sinks 83% from High Despite $4.9M Profit
Published on 07/08/2026 at 16:31 | Redaktion boerse-global.de
Shareholders of DeFi Technologies have voted overwhelmingly in favour of a reverse stock split, handing management a tool to tackle the Nasdaq listing crisis that has overshadowed a paradox: a profitable crypto firm whose equity has lost 83% of its value in twelve months. With the shares changing hands at €0.42 — barely above a freshly minted 52-week low of €0.41 — the capital restructuring aims to lift the stock above the exchange’s $1 minimum bid price requirement.
A mandate for flexibility
At the annual general meeting, 31.77% of outstanding common shares were represented, with 123,237,762 votes cast. The reverse split proposal passed with 73.271% support. The board has yet to announce a ratio or implementation date, but the authorisation gives it room to align the share count with Nasdaq’s listing standards. Auditor reappointment sailed through at 92.276%, while amendments to the corporate charter — including an advance notice requirement for future nominations — earned 64.279% backing. All six directors were re-elected, with approval ranging from Johan Wattenström’s 75.602% to Jonathan Dimitry’s 95.005%.
Profitability meets a wall of worry
The vote comes as DeFi Technologies wrestles with a disconnect between its income statement and its stock chart. In the first quarter of 2026, the company posted revenue of $11.2 million and net income of $4.9 million — positive earnings in the teeth of a prolonged crypto downturn. The figures are down sharply from the record $99.1 million in full?year 2025 revenue and $62.7 million in net profit, yet they remain solidly in the black. The stock, however, has not responded: it is down 9.22% in the past week, 13.69% in the month, and 43.29% since the start of the year. An annualised 30?day volatility of 67.97% reflects a title whose price action is far more turbulent than its fundamental footprint suggests.
Should investors sell immediately? Or is it worth buying DeFi Technologies?
Three structural forces explain the chasm. First, crypto?adjacent equities have moved in lockstep with digital?asset prices in 2026; any sell?off in the sector automatically drags on sentiment toward companies with big balance?sheet exposure to tokens. Second, and more critically, in March 2026 Nasdaq notified the firm that its stock had closed below the $1 minimum for 30 consecutive trading days, triggering a compliance clock that could end in delisting if unresolved. Third, a securities class action is pending, with law firms already soliciting plaintiffs. Outstanding litigation typically compresses valuation multiples regardless of operating performance.
Operating metrics show resilience beneath the surface
While the equity market frets, the underlying business is stabilising. Average assets under management during Q1 came in at roughly CAD 533 million, bottoming at CAD 427 million before recovering to approximately CAD 530 million. Net inflows in April reached CAD 14.6 million — the second?best month for inflows in the past twelve. Management publicly called the first quarter “the most challenging quarter of this recent crypto downturn” but expressed confidence in its strategic initiatives. The balance sheet holds $103.4 million in cash, USDT and USDC, plus a digital asset portfolio worth about $23.5 million. The revenue comes through two pillars: Valour Inc., which runs regulated exchange?traded products, and Stillman Digital, which handles institutional trading.
The clock is ticking
With the relative strength index at 36.1, the stock is approaching oversold territory without flashing a clear reversal signal. It trades 20.99% below its 50?day moving average of €0.54 and 49.60% below the 200?day average of €0.84. The distance from the July 2025 high of €2.98 underscores how far sentiment has shifted.
DeFi Technologies is now a textbook case of structural risk overwhelming fundamental strength. So long as the Nasdaq deadline and the litigation remain unresolved, even a profitable quarter registers as background noise. The reverse split approval buys optionality, but the market wants answers — not just a smaller share count. The board still needs to set a ratio and a timeline for the split, and until that happens, the stock remains hostage to forces that no quarterly earnings report can easily fix.
