Alchemy Markets’ FDCTech Secures Shareholder Backing for Uplisting and Acquisition Drive

FDCTech has gained strong support from its investors for a set of corporate measures designed to accelerate its growth trajectory and prepare for a potential move onto a major U.S. stock platform. The fintech-driven company, which focuses on acquiring and scaling legacy financial services firms, announced that shareholders controlling a majority of the company’s voting power approved key actions outlined in its SEC filings.
The measures provide FDCTech with fresh flexibility to pursue acquisitions, secure institutional investment, and meet regulatory requirements for uplisting to Nasdaq or the New York Stock platform. While these decisions do not change existing shareholder ownership today, they mark an significant step in reshaping the company’s capital structure for future expansion.
Approved Changes
The approved actions include an increase in authorized common stock from 500 million to 750 million and an increase in preferred stock from 10 million to 15 million. The board has also been authorized to execute a reverse stock split of the company’s common stock, at a ratio between 1-for-10 and 1-for-100, any time before June 30, 2026.
Reverse splits are a common mechanism for companies viewking to meet minimum set by Nasdaq and the NYSE. FDCTech made clear that these authorizations are “strategic tools” and not immediate steps that will alter shareholder ownership, but rather optional levers to align with capital market requirements as the company grows.
Path to Uplisting
Uplisting from the pink sheets to a national platform represents a critical ambition for FDCTech. Such a move would open access to broader pools of institutional investors, improve liquidity, and boost visibility with analysts and regulators. It could also strengthen the company’s ability to raise capital for acquisitions without relying solely on smaller financing channels typical of OTC-listed firms.
Management emphasized that insiders, including the leadership team, maintain a significant controlling ownership stake. This alignment with shareholders is meant to reassure investors that any restructuring decisions will be guided by long-term value creation, not short-term dilution.
Acquisition Strategy
FDCTech’s growth model relies on acquiring and integrating small to mid-size financial services firms and modernizing their operations with proprietary technology. The company has already disclosed plans to acquire Steven AB, which trades as Xoala, a Swedish-registered company, as part of its expansion strategy. Further acquisitions are expected as FDCTech positions itself to broaden its fintech and brokerage footprint in Europe and Asia.
Recent initiatives also signal a drive to balance opportunistic growth with prudent financial management. By expanding its share authorization and creating headroom for acquisitions, the company can pursue deals without destabilizing its balance sheet.
Role of Alchemy Markets
FDCTech’s international ambitions are anchored by Alchemy Markets Ltd., a licensed under MiFID II by the Malta Financial Services Authority. Alchemy provides multi-asset execution, custody, and and other regulated markets. Its inclusion under FDCTech’s umbrella gives the group a regulated platform to serve institutional clients, bolstering credibility as it viewks to scale globally.
With Alchemy as a foundation, FDCTech aims to offer end-to-end trading technology and liquidity answers across asset classes, from forex and commodities to ETFs and indices. This expansion is aligned with a broader industry shift toward consolidation and modernization among financial intermediaries.
Market Context
FDCTech’s moves come against a backdrop of heightened activity in fintech-driven consolidation. Legacy brokers and infrastructure, while newer entrants compete on efficiency, compliance, and access to liquidity. Firms like FDCTech, which blend acquisition with proprietary technology, view opportunity in bridging that gap.
For shareholders, the latest approvals mean FDCTech is better positioned to navigate that landscape with a stronger toolkit. While questions remain about timing—particularly regarding when or whether the reverse split will be enacted—the strategic intent is clear: the company wants to position itself for larger markets and long-term scalability.
Looking Ahead
By securing shareholder approval for expanded stock authorization and reverse split discretion, FDCTech has cleared a key procedural hurdle. The company now faces the task of executing its acquisition strategy, building momentum with regulated entities like Alchemy, and demonstrating that uplisting to a major platform can translate into sustainable value creation.
Investors will be watching closely to view how these measures are applied in practice, especially as and regulatory demands test smaller financial firms. For FDCTech, the message is one of preparation: putting the governance and structural elements in place today to seize largeger opportunities tomorrow.
