Distinct shells carrying a filed role for this person — not every shell they have ever touched.
SEC-verified vehicles of the same sponsor, predating these roles and carrying none of them. The badge counts them; the figure beside this one does not.
Mergers closed across all 16 — these vehicles and the franchise's earlier ones together.
Announced but not closed, and still hunting — again over all 16.

Robert Maxwell Smeal serves as the Chief Financial Officer and Secretary of Art Technology Acquisition Corp. (NASDAQ: ARTCU), a newly organized blank check company incorporated in 2025 and based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In this role, which he assumed in January 2026, Smeal oversees the financial operations of the SPAC as it pursues a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, or similar business combination. Under the leadership of CEO and Chairman Daniel Gideon Cohen, Smeal helped guide the company through its initial public offering, pricing 22 million units at $10.00 each to raise $220 million. His mailing address is listed as Philadelphia, PA 19104, aligning with the company's headquarters at 2929 Arch Street.
Smeal’s career is deeply intertwined with the Cohen Circle SPAC platform, founded by Betsy Z. Cohen. Prior to his appointment at Art Technology Acquisition Corp., he served as the Chief Financial Officer and Secretary of Cohen Circle Acquisition Corp I (CCIR) starting in September 2024. He subsequently took on the role of Chief Financial Officer for Cohen Circle Acquisition Corp II (CCII) in June 2025. Additionally, Smeal serves as the Chief Financial Officer of BTC Development Corp. (BDCI), a position he has held since September 2025.
According to SEC filings, Smeal maintains insider ownership across these three entities—Cohen Circle Acquisition Corp I, Cohen Circle Acquisition Corp II, and BTC Development Corp. His track record within the Cohen Circle ecosystem demonstrates a consistent pattern of leading the financial structuring and regulatory compliance for multiple blank check companies simultaneously, establishing him as a key financial executive within Betsy Cohen's SPAC franchise.
This record is keyed to SEC CIK 0001891242 — the identifier this person files under in their own name. Every vehicle above is a filing made under that CIK, so “the same person on two shells” is a fact about an SEC identifier rather than about a name that happens to match.
Roles are the strings the filings used, in the order they were filed. Nothing on this page ranks them, infers seniority, or offers a reason why any two of these names recur — a recurrence is a count, and the filings that produced it are linked beside every row. 1 person shares two or more of these vehicles but is not listed above, because one side of the pair has no CIK. We also hold 52 institutional-holder rows on these vehicles, under 30 distinct name strings, and none of them is counted across vehicles: that table has no CIK column, and matching holders by name would merge firms that are not the same firm.
