K-Pop media company K Wave Media is once again under pressure from Nasdaq listing authorities. The American institution officially announced that the company failed to meet the minimum thresholds required to maintain its position on the exchange, resulting in new consecutive compliance deadlines that the company must meet.

Market Value Barrier: 10 Consecutive Days at $50 Million

According to Odaily, K Wave Media has until June 2026 to demonstrate a market value of at least $50 million during 10 consecutive trading days. This is one of the essential requirements to remain listed on the Nasdaq Global Market. The company, which recently secured a substantial $1 billion investment to fund its strategy of focusing on Bitcoin assets, now faces the need to recover its market valuation.

Price Challenge: Consecutive Maintenance Above $1

Meanwhile, a second condition must be met. Earlier this year, Nasdaq notified K Wave Media that its stock prices had fallen below $1 for 30 consecutive trading days. To resolve this situation, the company must raise and maintain its stock price above $1 for 10 consecutive trading days by July 6, 2026.

The company now faces two critical timelines in a row. If it fails to meet these requirements within the established deadlines, delisting from Nasdaq will become a reality. K Wave Media’s aggressive Bitcoin strategy depends on maintaining its listed company status to continue operating with the credibility the market demands.
