Should be a rocket!
**Stardust Power Inc.** (stock ticker SDST) is a company that already has a deal to sell shares of its own stock little by little over time, kind of like a lemonade stand slowly selling cups instead of all at once. This is called an "at-the-market" offering, and a firm called **B. Riley Securities** helps them sell it.
Back in May 2026, the rules said they could sell **up to $5,000,000** worth of stock this way. This new notice (an "amendment") says: actually, based on updated math, you're now allowed to sell **up to $8,990,537** worth of stock instead.
**Why the limit changed:** There's an SEC rule for smaller companies (called "General Instruction I.B.6") that limits how much stock they can sell based on their "public float" — basically, the total value of shares that regular outside investors (not insiders) hold. Since Stardust Power's stock price and float changed, the max amount they're allowed to sell under this rule went up too.
**A few other simple facts from the page:**
* Their stock recently traded around **$0.16 per share** — a pretty low, "penny stock" price.
* The value of stock held by outside investors is about **$13.99 million**.
* They already sold about **$5 million** worth of stock in the past year under this same rule.
* There's a standard legal disclaimer saying the government hasn't approved or vouched for the safety of buying this stock — that's boilerplate on basically all offerings like this.
**In one sentence:** Stardust Power got permission to sell a bit more of its own stock over time (up to about $9 million instead of $5 million) to raise money, because the math based on their stock price and shareholder base allows it now.
