ATLANTA, Feb. 19, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bitcoin Depot Inc. (NASDAQ: BTM) (the “Company”) announced today that it will effect a one-for-seven (1:7) reverse stock split (“Reverse Split”) of its Common Stock (as defined below) that will become effective on February 23, 2026, at 12:01 a.m., Eastern time (the “Effective Time”). The Company’s Class A Common Stock will continue to trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbol “BTM” and will begin trading on a split-adjusted basis when the market opens on February 23, 2026. The new CUSIP number for the Class A Common Stock following the Reverse Split will be 09174P 303. The Company’s publicly traded warrants will continue to be traded on the Nasdaq under the symbol “BTMWW,” and the CUSIP number for the publicly traded warrants will remain unchanged.
On January 12, 2026, stockholders holding a majority of the voting power of the then outstanding shares of Voting Stock (as defined below) took action by written consent to authorize the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) to effect a reverse stock split with a ratio in a range from and including one-for-five (1:5) up to and including one-for-twenty (1:20). On February 12, 2026, the Board approved a one-for-seven (1:7) Reverse Split ratio. The Company has filed a Certificate of Amendment to the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter Amendment”) with the Secretary of State for the State of Delaware to effect the Reverse Split at the Effective Time.
For purposes of this press release: “Voting Stock” means, collectively, shares of our (i) Class A Common Stock, (ii) Class B Common Stock, (iii) Class M Common Stock, (iv) Class O Common Stock, and (v) Class V Common Stock, in each case with a par value $0.0001 per share; and “Common Stock” means, collectively, the Voting Stock and shares of our (i) Class E-1 Common Stock, (ii) Class E-2 Common Stock, and (iii) Class E-3 Common Stock, in each case with a par value $0.0001 per share.
Following the Reverse Split, the par value of each applicable series of Common Stock will remain unchanged. The Charter Amendment will not change the authorized number of shares of Common Stock or preferred stock. No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the Reverse Split. Stockholders who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share of Common Stock as a result of the Reverse Split will instead receive a cash payment, without interest or deduction, equal to (a) the fraction of one share to which such holder would otherwise be entitled multiplied by (b) the volume weighted average price per share of Class A Common Stock on the Nasdaq (as reported by Bloomberg L.P. or, if not reported therein, in another authoritative source selected by the Company) for the period of the five consecutive trading days ending on and including the full trading day prior to the Effective Time (before giving effect to the Reverse Split). The Reverse Split will affect all stockholders uniformly and will not alter any stockholder’s percentage interest in the Company’s equity (other than as a result of the treatment of fractional shares).
As of the Effective Time, and in proportion to such decrease in the aggregate number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding, we will also decrease the number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of, and increase the exercise price of, each whole warrant exercisable for one share of Class A Common Stock. Specifically, as of the Effective Time, every seven shares of Class A Common Stock that may be purchased pursuant to the exercise of warrants will represent one share of Class A Common Stock that may be purchased pursuant to such warrants. The exercise price per share for each warrant following the Reverse Split will equal $80.50, which is equal to $11.50, the exercise price per share immediately prior to the Reverse Split, multiplied by a fraction (x) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Class A Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of the warrants immediately prior to the Reverse Split, and (y) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Class A Common Stock so purchasable immediately thereafter.
Additionally, outstanding equity-based awards granted pursuant to the Company’s 2023 Omnibus Incentive Plan and the number of shares of Class A Common Stock reserved for issuance under thereunder and other outstanding securities convertible or exchange into Common Stock will be proportionately adjusted in accordance with the terms thereof or as otherwise specified by the Board.
Shortly following the Effective Time, stockholders of record will be receiving information from Continental Stock Transfer & Trust, the Company’s transfer agent, regarding their stock ownership following the Reverse Split. Stockholders who hold their shares in brokerage accounts or in “street name” are not required to take any action in connection with the Reverse Split.
Additional information on the Reverse Split can be found in the Company’s definitive information statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 23, 2026, which is available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov and on the Company’s website.
