Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this Report including, without limitation, statements under this Item regarding our financial position, business strategy and the plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. When used in this Report, words such as "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "expect," "intend" and similar expressions, as they relate to us or our management, identify forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs of our management, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, our management. Actual results could differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors detailed in our filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). All subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are qualified in their entirety by this paragraph.
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed financial statements and the notes thereto included in this Report under Item 1. "Financial Statements".
Overview
We are a blank check company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on June 25, 2024 and formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, amalgamation, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the "Business Combination"). We intend to effectuate our Business Combination using cash derived from the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrant, our shares, debt or a combination of cash, shares and debt.
We expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete a Business Combination will be successful.
In 2024, the SEC adopted additional rules and regulations relating to SPACs (the "2024 SPAC Rules"). The 2024 SPAC Rules require, among other matters, (i) additional disclosures relating to SPAC sponsors and related persons; (ii) additional disclosures relating to SPAC Business Combination transactions; (iii) additional disclosures relating to dilution and to conflicts of interest involving sponsors and their affiliates in connection with proposed Business Combination transactions; (iv) additional disclosures regarding projections included in SEC filings in connection with proposed Business Combination transactions; and (v) the requirement that both the SPAC and its target company be co-registrants in connection with registration statements relating to proposed Business Combination transactions. In addition, the SEC's adopting release provided guidance describing circumstances in which a SPAC could become subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act, including its duration, asset composition, business purpose, activities and management team. The 2024 SPAC Rules may materially affect our ability to complete our initial Business Combination and may increase the costs and time related thereto.
Recent Developments
Business Combination Agreement
On June 23, 2025 (the "Signing Date"), the Company, and ProCap BTC, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("ProCap BTC"), announced that the Company, ProCap BTC and ProCap Financial, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Pubco"), entered into a definitive business combination agreement (as amended pursuant to the First Amendment to the Business Combination Agreement, dated July 28, 2025, the "Business Combination Agreement"), with Crius SPAC Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("SPAC Merger Sub"), Crius Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Company Merger Sub"), and Inflection Points Inc, d/b/a Professional Capital Management, a Delaware corporation ("Seller", and collectively with the Company, ProCap BTC, Pubco and the other parties to the Business Combination Agreement, the "Parties").
Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, (i) at least one business day prior to the closing (the "Closing") of the Proposed Transactions, the Company will de-register from the Register of Companies in the Cayman Islands by way of continuation and re-register in the State of Delaware so as to become a Delaware corporation (the "Conversion"), and (ii) upon the Closing, (x) SPAC Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving entity (the "SPAC Merger"), and each outstanding security of the Company immediately prior to the effective time of the SPAC Merger shall automatically be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive substantially equivalent securities of Pubco, with non-redeeming Company shareholders receiving their pro rata share of an aggregate of 15% of the Adjustment Shares (as defined below), and (y) Company Merger Sub will merge with and into ProCap BTC, with ProCap BTC continuing as the surviving entity (the "Company Merger", and together with SPAC Merger, the "Mergers"), and with the members of ProCap BTC (the "ProCap Holders") receiving, in exchange for their membership interests in ProCap BTC, shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Pubco ("Pubco Stock"), including certain adjustment shares of Pubco Stock as described below. As a result of the Business Combination, the Company and ProCap BTC will become wholly-owned subsidiaries of Pubco, and Pubco will become a publicly traded company, all in accordance with applicable law and upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement.
In connection with the proposed Business Combination, (a) certain "qualified investors" (defined to include "qualified institutional buyers", as defined in Rule 144A of the Securities Act, and institutional "accredited investors", as defined in Rule 506 of Regulation D) (the "Preferred Equity Investors") subscribed to purchase non-voting preferred units of ProCap BTC ("Preferred Units") in a private placement of an aggregate amount of approximately $516.5 million of such Preferred Units (the "Preferred Equity Investment"), in consideration for which, at the Closing, the Preferred Equity Investors will receive shares of Pubco Common Stock at a ratio of 1.25 times the number of Preferred Units held by such investors as of immediately prior to the Company Merger Effective Time, as well as Adjustment Shares, if issued, as further described below, and (b) certain qualified investors (the "Convertible Note Investors") entered into subscription agreements pursuant to which the Convertible Note Investors agreed to purchase convertible notes ("Convertible Notes") issuable upon the Closing by Pubco, an aggregate principal amount of approximately $235 million (the "Convertible Note Financing" and, together with the Preferred Equity Investment and the Business Combination, the "Proposed Transactions"). Subscriptions to purchase Convertible Notes, which will have a 130% conversation rate, zero interest rate, and maturity of up to 36 months, will be funded prior to the issuance of the Convertible Notes in connection with the Closing (the "Issuance Date"). The Convertible Notes will be two (2) times collateralized by cash, cash equivalents or a portion of the bitcoin assets purchased with the proceeds from the transactions related to the Business Combination, as further described below; U.S. Bank National Trust, N.A. will serve as collateral agent and trustee with regard to the Convertible Notes and associated indenture and security arrangements. Proceeds from the Convertible Note Financing are expected to be utilized by Pubco for purposes of acquiring additional bitcoin ("Purchased Bitcoin") for working capital purposes. Prior to the Closing, the Parties intend to take actions necessary for the Convertible Notes to have an associated 144A CUSIP number to facilitate the possibility of future post-Closing trading amongst QUIBS; however, the Convertible Notes are not expected to otherwise be registered or tradeable.
As consideration for the Company Merger, Seller, the holder of all of the common units of ProCap BTC (the "Common Units"), will receive 10,000,000 shares of Pubco Stock (such shares, the "Common Merger Consideration Shares").
As consideration for the Company Merger, holders of the preferred units (the "Preferred Units") of ProCap BTC (the "Preferred Unit Holders") will receive an aggregate number of shares of Pubco Stock equal to: (i) the product of (A) the number of Preferred Units outstanding immediately prior to the Company Merger multiplied by (B) 1.25 plus (ii) eighty five percent (85%) of the Adjustment Shares (the "Preferred Merger Consideration Shares" and together with the Common Merger Consideration Shares, the "Merger Consideration Shares"). Each Preferred Unit Holder shall receive its pro rata share of the Preferred Merger Consideration Shares, based on the number of Preferred Units owned by such Preferred Unit Holder immediately prior to the Closing.
The "Adjustment Shares" refer to a number of shares of Pubco Stock equal to (i) the product of (A) (I) the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the price of one Bitcoin as determined by the average of the CME CF Bitcoin Reference Rate - New York Variant (the "Reference Rate") for the ten (10)-day period ending on the third (3rd) business day prior to the Closing Date (the "Closing Bitcoin Price"), subject to a maximum price of $200,000 by (y) the time weighted average price for the period of time during which the Purchased Bitcoin (as defined below) was acquired (the "Signing Bitcoin Price") (II) minus 1, multiplied by (B) $516.5 million, divided by (ii) $10.00.
ProCap BTC agreed to purchase bitcoin using the gross proceeds of the Preferred Equity Investment within fifteen (15) days following the Signing Date (the "Purchased Bitcoin"), with such Purchased Bitcoin to be placed into a custody account in accordance with a custody agreement by and between ProCap BTC and Anchorage Digital Bank, N.A., as custodian.
For more information regarding the Business Combination Agreement and the Proposed Transactions, refer to the Company's filings with the SEC, including the Current Reports on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the SEC on June 24, 2025, June 27, 2025, July 24, 2025, and July 28, 2025, as well as the registration statement on Form S-4 to be filed by Pubco and the other filings that the Company and Pubco may make from time to time with the SEC.
Results of Operations
We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities from June 25, 2024 (inception) through June 30, 2025, were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the Initial Public Offering, described below, and identifying a target company and negotiating the terms of a Business Combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our Business Combination. We generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account. We incur expenses as a result of being a public company (including for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses.
For the three months ended June 30, 2025, we had a net loss of $87,410, which consists of operating costs of $891,633 and share based compensation expense of $395,400, offset by interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $1,199,623.
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, we had a net loss of $114,382, which consists of operating costs of $918,605 and share based compensation expense of $395,400, offset by interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $1,199,623.
For the period from June 25, 2024 (inception) through June 30, 2024, we had no income or loss.
Factors That May Adversely Affect our Results of Operations
Our results of operations and our ability to complete an initial Business Combination may be adversely affected by various factors that could cause economic uncertainty and volatility in the financial markets, many of which are beyond our control. Our results of operations and our ability to consummate an initial Business Combination could be impacted by, among other things, downturns in the financial markets or in economic conditions, increases in oil prices, inflation, fluctuations in interest rates, increases in tariffs, supply chain disruptions, declines in consumer confidence and spending, public health considerations, and geopolitical instability, such as the military conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East. We cannot at this time predict the likelihood of one or more of the above events, their duration or magnitude or the extent to which they may negatively impact our business and our ability to complete an initial Business Combination.
Liquidity and Going Concern
On May 19, 2025, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 25,000,000 units at $10.00 per Units, including 3,000,000 Units issued pursuant to the partial exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option, generating gross proceeds of $250,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the private sale of an aggregate of 705,000 Private Placement Units, to the Sponsor and Company and Cohen & Company Capital Markets, a division of J.V.B. Financial Group, LLC ("CCM"), and Clear Street LLC ("Clear Street"), as representatives of the several underwriters (the "Representatives"), at a price of $10.00 per unit, or $7,050,000 in the aggregate.
Following the Initial Public Offering, a total of $250,000,000 was placed in the Trust Account. We incurred $5,456,417, consisting of $4,400,000 of cash underwriting fee and $1,056,417 of other offering costs.
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, cash used in operating activities was $565,609. Net loss of $110,031 was affected by payment of operation costs through promissory note of $30,800, interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $1,199,623 and share based compensation expense of $395,400. Changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $317,845 of cash for operating activities.
For the period from June 25, 2024 (inception) through June 30, 2024, cash used in operating activities was $0.
As of June 30, 2025, we had marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $251,199,623 (including approximately $1,199,623 of interest income) consisting of U.S. Treasury Bills with a maturity of 185 days or less. We may withdraw interest from the Trust Account to pay taxes, if any. We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account (less income taxes payable), to complete our Business Combination. To the extent that our share capital or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our Business Combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.
As of June 30, 2025, we had cash of $1,003,946 outside of the Trust Account. We intend to use the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, and structure, negotiate and complete a Business Combination.
Until the consummation of the Business Combination, we will be using the funds held outside the Trust Account for consummating the Business Combination.
We have incurred and expect to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its acquisition plans. We may need to raise additional capital through loans or additional investments from our Sponsor, stockholders, officers, directors, or third parties. Our officers, directors and Sponsor may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds, from time to time or at any time, in whatever amount they deem reasonable in their sole discretion, to meet the Company's working capital needs. Accordingly, we may not be able to obtain additional financing. If we are unable to raise additional capital, it may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of a potential transaction, and reducing overhead expenses. We cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. If we are unable to complete the Business Combination because we do not have sufficient funds available, we will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the Trust Account. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern one year from the date that these condensed financial statements are issued
In connection with the Company's assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 205-40, "Presentation of Financial Statements- Going Concern," management has determined the Company's liquidity condition raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern through twelve months from the date these condensed financial statements are available to be issued. Management plans to address this uncertainty through a business combination. The Company intends to complete the initial business combination before the end of the Completion Window. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to consummate any business combination by the end of the Completion Window. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2025. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any non-financial assets.
Contractual obligations
We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities, other than as set forth below.
Administrative Services Agreement
Commencing on May 15, 2025, and until completion of the Business Combination or liquidation, we reimburse an affiliate of our Sponsor $10,000 per month for certain office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative services as may be reasonably required pursuant to the Administrative Services Agreement.
Underwriting Agreement
The underwriters were entitled to a cash underwriting discount of 2.00% of the gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering, or $4,400,000, which was paid upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering.
Business Combination Marketing Agreement
The Company engaged CCM and Clear Street as advisors in connection with the Business Combination to assist in holding meetings with shareholders to discuss potential Business Combination and the target business' attributes, introduce the Company to potential investors that are interested in purchasing securities and assist the Company with press releases and public filings in connection with the Business Combination. The Company will pay CCM and Clear Street a cash fee for such services upon the consummation of the initial Business Combination in an amount equal to $9,800,000. As a result, CCM and Clear Street will not be entitled to such fee unless the Company consummates its initial Business Combination.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of the unaudited condensed financial statements and related disclosures included in this Report under Item 1. "Financial Statements" in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgement. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the unaudited condensed financial statements included in this Report under Item 1. "Financial Statements", which management consider in formulating its estimates, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could materially differ from those estimates.
Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption
We account for our ordinary shares subject to possible conversion in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 480 "Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity." Ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption are classified as a liability instrument and measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary shares (including ordinary shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares are classified as shareholders' equity. Our ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders' equity section of our condensed balance sheets.
Net Loss Per Ordinary Share
We historically had two classes of shares, which are referred to as Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares. Earnings and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of shares. Accretion associated with the redeemable Class A ordinary shares is excluded from loss per share as the redemption value approximates fair value. We have not considered the effect of the warrants in the calculation of diluted net loss per share, if any, since their exercise is contingent upon future events. As a result, diluted net loss per share of ordinary shares is the same as basic net loss per share of ordinary shares.
Recent Accounting Standards
In November 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2024-03, "Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses", requiring public entities to disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to the financial statements on an interim and annual basis. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2024-03.
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our condensed financial statements.
