- Nasdaq plans to delist Argo Blockchain due to stock performance.
- Significant impact on company shares and investor confidence.
- Potential financial ramifications for Argo’s market operations.
Argo Blockchain plc faces delisting from Nasdaq due to stock non-compliance with the $1 bid price requirement, following a formal notice issued on July 18, 2025.
The delisting impacts investor confidence, restricts U.S. capital access, and could lead to increased stock volatility, while not directly affecting the broader cryptocurrency market operations.
Nasdaq has announced its intention to delist Argo Blockchain due to its prolonged failure to meet the minimum bid price requirement. The company received a formal notice citing the violation of Nasdaq Rule 5450(a)(1).
Argo Blockchain plc operates as a public bitcoin mining company and is listed on both the LSE and Nasdaq. However, it was unable to meet the compliance criteria, leading to the decision for delisting by the Nasdaq qualifications department.
The decision to remove Argo from Nasdaq’s Global Select Market has already affected its stock, which fell further below the $1 threshold. The current stock price is $0.31, reflecting a nearly 4% drop post-notice.
Delisting will affect Argo’s ability to attract U.S. institutional investors, potentially exacerbating its financial challenges. This move also triggers further market uncertainty and selling pressure in the company’s shares.

Historical trends indicate that similar delistings have led to significant share volatility and lower investor confidence. For Argo, maintaining operational stability without U.S. funding presents a heightened challenge.
