PART I — REGISTRANT INFORMATION

Vivakor, Inc.

Full Name of Registrant

Former Name if Applicable

5220 Spring Valley Road, Suite 500

Address of Principal Executive Office (Street and Number)

Dallas, TX 75242

PART II — RULES 12b-25(b) AND (c)

If the subject report could not be filed without unreasonable effort or expense and the registrant seeks relief pursuant to Rule 12b-25(b), the following should be completed. (Check box if appropriate)

	(a)	The reasons described in reasonable detail in Part III of this form could not be eliminated without unreasonable effort or expense;

☒	(b)	The subject annual report, semi-annual report, transition report on Form 10-K, Form 20-F, Form 11-K, Form N-SAR or Form N-CSR, or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifteenth calendar day following the prescribed due date; or the subject quarterly report of transition report on Form 10-Q or subject distribution report on Form 10-D, or portion thereof will be filed on or before the fifth calendar day following the prescribed due date; and

	(c)	The accountant’s statement or other exhibit required by Rule 12b-25(c) has been attached if applicable.

PART III — NARRATIVE

State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

Vivakor, Inc. (the “Registrant”) was unable, without unreasonable effort or expense, to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2026 (the “Quarterly Report”) by the August 14, 2026 filing date applicable to smaller reporting companies due to a delay experienced by the Registrant in completing its financial statements and other disclosures in the Quarterly Report. As a result, the Registrant is still in the process of compiling required information to complete the Quarterly Report and requires additional time to complete its review of the financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2026 to be incorporated in the Quarterly Report. The Registrant anticipates that it will file the Quarterly Report no later than the fifth calendar day following the prescribed filing date. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to file the Quarterly Report on or before the fifth calendar day following the prescribed due date.

PART IV — OTHER INFORMATION

(1)	Name and telephone number of person to contact in regard to this notification

	James Ballengee		(469)		480-7175
	(Name)		(Area Code)		(Telephone Number)

(2)	Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed? If answer is no, identify report(s).
	Yes ☒ No ☐

(3)	Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof?
	Yes ☒ No ☐

	If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made. We anticipate our financial results for the period ended June 30, 2026 will differ significantly from the same period in the prior year due to changes in our operations, revenues and expenses. For the three months ended June 30, 2026, we expect total revenues to increase compared to the same period in 2025, and gross profit to also increase. We also expect operating expenses to decrease, primarily due to lower depreciation and amortization expense. As a result of these and other changes, including changes in interest expense and unrealized gains and losses on marketable securities, we expect net loss attributable to Vivakor, Inc. to decrease compared to the same period in 2025. These exact amounts are not currently known and subject to completion of our financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2026.
