ACTON, Mass., June 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bluejay Diagnostics, Inc. (NASDAQ:BJDX) ("Bluejay" or the "Company"), a medical diagnostics company focused on near-patient testing for critical care, today announced the closing of its previously announced private placement for the purchase and sale of an aggregate of 3,655,917 shares of common stock (or pre-funded warrant in lieu thereof), series G warrants to purchase up to 3,655,917 shares of common stock and short-term series H warrants to purchase up to 3,655,917 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $2.325 per share of common stock (or per pre-funded warrant in lieu thereof) and accompanying warrants priced at-the-market under Nasdaq rules.
