Nuvve Holding Corp. (NVVE) cleared two important hurdles Thursday, and investors celebrated by pushing shares up more than 33%.

The company announced it received written confirmation from Nasdaq that it's back in compliance with exchange listing standards. Specifically, Nuvve satisfied both the Minimum Bid Price Rule and the Minimum Stockholders' Equity Rule, two requirements that can get you shown the door if you don't meet them.

How They Got Here

The bid price fix was straightforward enough. Nuvve kept its closing bid price above $1.00 for 10 consecutive trading days, hitting that milestone on Dec. 29, 2025. Check that box.

The equity requirement took a bit more work. Nasdaq requires listed companies to maintain at least $2.5 million in stockholders' equity, and Nuvve was falling short. The solution? A private placement that brought in $5.4 million in gross proceeds. Shareholders approved the deal on Dec. 29, it closed the next day on Dec. 30, and just like that, the company was back in compliance as of Dec. 31.

The Catch

Nasdaq isn't giving Nuvve a free pass going forward. The exchange has put the company on a mandatory panel monitor for one year starting Jan. 6, 2026. If Nuvve slips below the equity requirement during that time, there's no do-over period. The company could request a hearing before any delisting action, but that's about it.

At the time of the announcement, Nuvve shares were trading 33.33% higher at $4.71.
