DT Cloud Star Acquisition Corp 8-K

What Happened
DT Cloud Star Acquisition Corp (DTSQ) filed an 8‑K on Jan 20, 2026 disclosing that on Jan 15, 2026 it received a Deficiency Letter from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Staff. Nasdaq found the company’s Market Value of Listed Securities (MVLS) for the period Nov 21, 2025–Jan 6, 2026 was below the minimum required under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(A) — a $50,000,000 MVLS threshold. Nasdaq has given the company a 180‑day compliance period, until July 14, 2026, to regain compliance.

Key Details

• Deficiency Letter date: January 15, 2026; 8‑K filed January 20, 2026 (Item 3.01).
• MVLS period reviewed: November 21, 2025 to January 6, 2026.
• Minimum required MVLS: $50,000,000.
• Compliance period: 180 calendar days (until July 14, 2026); compliance achieved if MVLS closes at $50,000,000+ for 10 consecutive business days.
• If compliance is not regained, Nasdaq will notify the company that its securities are subject to delisting; the company may appeal or consider transferring to The Nasdaq Capital Market.

Why It Matters
A Nasdaq deficiency notice signals a material listing risk: failure to regain compliance could lead to delisting, reduced liquidity, and potential downward pressure on the stock. The company says it is evaluating options and intends to try to regain compliance, but there is no assurance it will succeed. Investors should monitor progress toward the July 14, 2026 deadline and any subsequent Nasdaq communications.
