DESCRIPTION

This is a blank-check SPAC that raised $287.5M in its IPO in January 2026 at $10.00 per unit, with proceeds held in trust invested in U.S. Treasuries or money market funds. The SPAC has no operations or revenue — its sole purpose is to identify and acquire a private company, taking it public in the process. The SPAC is targeting businesses in financial services and technology, with a focus on blockchain-enabled financial infrastructure (particularly the Ethereum ecosystem), fintech and payments, AI-enabled financial software, and encryption and cybersecurity. The sponsor purchased founder shares for a nominal price, representing roughly 25% of the post-IPO share count if a deal closes — the sponsor's "promote." Public shareholders have downside protection: if no deal closes, they get their $10.00 per share back from the trust. The SPAC has until approximately January 2028 to complete an acquisition; if it fails, it liquidates and returns trust funds to shareholders. Ongoing costs include $20,000/month in administrative fees paid to a sponsor affiliate, plus legal and diligence costs funded from capital held outside the trust.
