• 1-for-1,600 Reverse Split Set

  Board fixed the reverse split ratio at 1-for-1,600 on August 14, 2026, with effectiveness at 12:01 a.m. ET on September 15, 2026.

• Aggressive Ratio on Sub-Penny Stock

  At roughly $0.001 per share, the split would theoretically lift the price to about $1.60 per share, though the company cautions the market cap may be lower afterward.

• Authorized Shares Unchanged

  The split does not reduce the 5 billion authorized common shares, leaving massive headroom for future dilution after the share count drops to roughly 102,500 post-split.

• Financial Distress Backdrop

  Follows Q2 2026 results showing a 63% revenue plunge, $800K net loss, $11K cash, and a going concern warning; the split is positioned to facilitate future financing.

Blue Star Foods is executing a 1-for-1,600 reverse stock split effective September 15, 2026, after the board fixed the ratio on August 14. The company trades at roughly $0.001 per share with a market cap near $172K, and its last two 10-Qs showed revenue plunging 63-74%, net losses of $735K-$800K, cash of just $11K-$17K, and a going concern warning. The split is designed to lift the per-share price to attract institutional investors and facilitate future financing, but it does not change the authorized share count of 5 billion common shares — meaning the company retains enormous headroom for future dilution. The 1,600-to-1 ratio is aggressive and will reduce the roughly 164 million outstanding shares to about 102,500 post-split shares, a move that often precedes further capital raises or a Nasdaq compliance effort.
