The delisting risk from audit committee non-compliance is the primary near-term catalyst. Monitor for the appointment of an independent audit committee member — failure to cure within NYSE grace periods could lead to suspension. The shareholder base is now concentrated under Tether, reducing free float and potentially increasing volatility.
Price Chart
Executive Summary
Tether International acquired SoftBank's entire 89,106,748-share Class A stake in XXI, becoming the controlling shareholder. The Governance Agreement among Tether, SoftBank, and Bitfinex was terminated, and SoftBank's board representatives resigned, causing the audit committee to fall below NYSE's two-independent-member minimum, triggering a delisting notice. The company expects to appoint a new independent audit committee member promptly.
Key Facts
- Tether International acquired all 89,106,748 Class A shares held by SoftBank on May 19, 2026.
- All 89,106,748 Class B shares held by SoftBank were cancelled in connection with the transaction.
- The Governance Agreement among Twenty One Capital, Tether Investments, SoftBank, and Bitfinex was terminated.
- Board members Jared Roscoe and Vikas J. Parekh resigned at SoftBank's request, effective May 19, 2026.
- The audit committee now has only one independent member, violating NYSE Section 303A.07(a) rules.

Financial Impact
No financial figures disclosed. The transaction involved a transfer of 89,106,748 Class A shares and cancellation of an equal number of Class B shares, but no dollar amounts were provided.
Risk Factors

- Loss of institutional investor participation due to governance uncertainty and concentrated control.
- Reduced liquidity from the cancellation of Class B shares and concentration of Class A shares under Tether.
