Nukkleus Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NUKK#NASDAQ">NUKK</a>) shares are trading higher in Thursday&#8217;s after-hours session after the strategic acquisition company announced it <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/01/n43040329/nukkleus-inc-successfully-resolves-nasdaq-delisting-threat-achieving-compliance-across-all-key-par">regained compliance with Nasdaq listing rules</a>.
What Happened: After the market close on Thursday, Nukkleus said it received notice on Wednesday that it successfully regained compliance with Nasdaq listing rules which require companies to maintain a minimum market value of listed securities and a minimum market value of publicly held shares.
Nukkleus effected a 1-for-8 reverse stock split on Oct. 24 to regain compliance with the $1 minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq. Every eight shares of the company&#8217;s common stock were combined and reclassified into one share of common stock, reducing the number of issued and outstanding shares from 16.9 million to approximately 2.1 million.
Nukkleus on Thursday announced that the Nasdaq canceled the hearing scheduled for Jan. 21, confirming that the company&#8217;s shares will continue to trade on the Nasdaq.
&#8220;The management of the company believes this milestone underscores its effective resolution of all compliance matters with Nasdaq, allowing the company to continue its pursuit of sustainable growth and deliver lasting value to its stakeholders,&#8221; the Nukkleus said.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy NUKK Stock</h1>
By now you're likely curious about how to participate in the market for Nukkleus — be it to purchase shares, or even attempt to bet against the company.
Buying shares is typically done through a brokerage account. You can find a list of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-stock-trading-platforms">possible trading platforms here.</a> Many will allow you to buy &#8220;fractional shares,&#8221; which allows you to own portions of stock without buying an entire share. 
If you're looking to bet against a company, the process is more complex. You'll need access to an options trading platform, or a broker who will allow you to &#8220;go short&#8221; a share of stock by lending you the shares to sell. The process of shorting a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock">stock can be found at this resource.</a> Otherwise, if your broker allows you to trade options, you can either buy a put option, or sell a call option at a strike price above where shares are currently trading — either way it allows you to profit off of the share price decline.
NUKK Price Action: <a href="http://benzinga.com/quote/nukk">Nukkleus shares</a> were up 28.59% in after-hours, trading at $26.40 at the time of publication Thursday, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.

This milestone aligns with the company&#8217;s 10th anniversary in a complex industry where many have succumbed to regulatory scrutiny.
"Our founding mission was to enhance community safety by providing a stable and compliant environment for legal cannabis companies. Reaching this threshold during our 10th anniversary is a landmark achievement that speaks to our unwavering commitment to supporting the cannabis industry with transparent, secure and scalable financial solutions,&#8221; Sundie Seefried, CEO of Safe Harbor Financial said in an email shared with Benzinga.
Since its founding in 2015, Safe Harbor has led the charge in addressing the burdensome financial challenges faced by the cannabis industry, such as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/22/01/25268132/financial-regulator-calls-lack-of-banking-access-in-cannabis-a-serious-market-failure">not having access</a> to traditional banking and financial services due to cannabis' classification as a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/02/36916329/is-marijuana-a-controlled-substance-wait-what-is-a-controlled-substance">Schedule I drug</a> and therefore illegal at the federal level.

Safe Harbor, one of the first financial institutions to design solutions specifically for cannabis businesses, now serves clients across nearly 40 states and U.S. territories. The firm provides a full suite of financial products that enable businesses to operate with confidence in a heavily regulated environment.
"Over the past decade, we've built an unparalleled platform that empowers cannabis businesses to thrive while setting new standards for compliance, accountability and innovation in the financial sector," continued Seefried. "I couldn't be more proud of what we've accomplished and am excited about the opportunities ahead as we continue to drive the industry forward."
Eivan Shahara, co-founder and CEO of <a href="https://themintcannabis.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mint Cannabis</a>, a vertical multi-state operator headquartered in Arizona, said Safe Harbor has been an essential partner in his company's journey.
"Their innovative approach to cannabis banking has enabled us to access critical financial services while maintaining full compliance with stringent state and federal regulations. As the industry grows and pushes for federal reform, Safe Harbor's expertise and leadership are more important than ever. We're proud to be part of their journey and look forward to achieving even greater success together."

American Express Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AXP#NYSE">AXP</a>) has agreed to a $108.7 million settlement to resolve allegations of violating the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act.
