Equity [Abstract] |
Stockholders’ Equity |
9. | Stockholders’ Equity:
The holders of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held. There are no restrictions that limit the Company’s ability to pay dividends on its common stock. The Company has not declared any dividends since incorporation. The Company’s common stock has no par value per common stock and there is only one class of common shares. The Company has an unlimited number of common shares authorized for issue.
| (a) | Common stock issuances:
Fiscal 2025 and 2024 There were no common stock issuances for the year ended December 31, 2025 2024 and 2023. Kidoz Inc. and subsidiaries (Expressed in United States Dollars) Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023

| (b) | Normal Course Issuer Bid:
During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company filed a Notice of Intention to Make a Normal Course Issuer Bid (the “Notice of Intention”) with the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX-V”) on September 15, 2022. Upon receiving approval from the TSX-V, effective September 16, 2022, the Company commenced a normal course issuer bid (“NCIB”), whereby the Company may purchase for cancellation up to 6,579,074 shares, being 5% of the issued and outstanding shares as of such date. Any purchases under the NCIB were made on the open market through the facilities of the TSX-V or alternative Canadian trading systems. Purchases were made at market prices of the shares at the time of acquisition. Purchases under the NCIB may commence as of September 16, 2022, and ended on the earlier of: (i) September 14, 2023; or (ii) the date on which the Company has purchased the maximum number of shares to be acquired under the NCIB. The Company may terminate the NCIB earlier if it feels it is appropriate to do so. The normal course issuer bid was conducted through Kidoz Inc’s broker Research Capital Corporation. The purchase and payment of the common shares were made in accordance with the requirements of the TSX-V and applicable securities laws. The actual number of common shares purchased, timing of purchases and share price depended upon market conditions at the time and securities law requirements. All common shares acquired were returned to treasury and cancelled. During the year ended December 31, 2023, 41,500 shares which were acquired during the year ended December 31, 2022, pursuant to the NCIB in effect, at an aggregate cost of $11,793, were cancelled. During the year ended December 31, 2023, 2,000 shares were acquired pursuant to the NCIB in effect, at an aggregate cost of $517. During the year ended December 31, 2023, 2,000 shares were cancelled.

| (c) | Stock option plans:
2024 stock option plan During the year ended December 31, 2024, a 10% “rolling” stock option plan (the “2024 Stock Option Plan”) that complies with the updated TSX Policy 4.4 was approved by the TSX-V, the Board of Directors and the Company’s shareholders. The 2024 Stock Option Plan replaced the 2015 Stock Option Plan. The 2024 stock option plan is intended to provide incentive to employees, directors, advisors and consultants of the Company to encourage proprietary interest in the Company, to encourage such employees to remain in the employ of the Company or such directors, advisors and consultants to remain in the service of the Company, and to attract new employees, directors, advisors and consultants with outstanding qualifications.

Options granted under the 2015 Stock Option Plan will continue to be governed by the 2015 Stock Option Plan. The 2015 Stock Option plan will continue to exist until the stock options granted under the 2015 Stock Option are exercised, cancelled or expire.
