BCH -0.25% on 24H as Birchtech Announces 1-for-5 Reverse Stock Split to Support Uplist Strategy

BCHT Share Structure to Change Amid Market Volatility

Birchtech has announced approval of a 1-for-5 reverse stock split of its common shares, set to take effect on December 26, 2025. Under the terms of the restructuring, every five outstanding shares will be consolidated into one. Fractional shares will be rounded up to the nearest whole share, ensuring all shareholders retain full share ownership post-split. The company stated that trading on a split-adjusted basis will begin on December 31, 2025.

The reverse stock split is part of Birchtech’s broader strategy to increase its share price and improve marketability. The move is also expected to facilitate the company’s long-term plans for an uplisting to a larger exchange. A temporary “D” will be appended to the stock ticker symbol for 20 business days following the effective date, as is standard on the OTCQB market.

The timing of the split coincides with a modest 0.25% drop in BCH value over the past 24 hours, as of December 25, 2025. While the stock price movement may reflect broader market dynamics, the reverse split is viewed as a strategic step to align the company's capital structure with its evolving business objectives.

Share Price to Be Adjusted Post-Split

Following the announcement, Birchtech shares traded lower in after-hours trading, declining 1.11% to $0.7614. Although the post-split trading price will depend on market demand, the restructuring aims to elevate the per-share value, potentially attracting new institutional investors and improving liquidity.

Birchtech emphasized that the trading symbol will remain unchanged, allowing continuity for existing shareholders. The company also highlighted that the consolidation will not affect shareholders’ ownership percentages or voting rights. Instead, the primary goal is to create a more favorable environment for future capital raising and investor engagement.

Recent BCH Price Performance

As of the latest data on December 25, 2025, BCH has seen a 0.64% decline in the past week but has posted significant gains in the longer term, including an 8.78% increase over the last 30 days and a 35.4% rise over the past 12 months. The short-term price correction appears to be part of a broader consolidation phase rather than a fundamental shift in investor sentiment.

Birchtech’s reverse stock split represents a structural change rather than a direct factor in the broader BCH price movement. However, the restructuring could influence market perception and investor confidence in the coming weeks as the adjusted trading begins.
