SpacBrain’s read
Trust settled
The deal closed — SPAC shares became the target's shares, so there is no trust left to redeem (nobody missed a window; holders who wanted cash elected it at the vote).

This vehicle has finished, so there is no window to file a cash-per-share figure for and none will follow. No estimate is shown in its place.
Nothing dated is on file. That is an absence in the record, not a statement that nothing is coming.
Yield to redemption
Nothing left to redeem — no yield to compute.
This SPAC has finished — its trust was paid back or used to close the deal, so there is nothing left to redeem and no yield to compute. A yield to redemption is a claim that you can hand these shares back for the trust cash. That account is closed, so this page will not print a number here.
What happened to the cash
The reasoning behind the verdict above, in the order the filings establish it.

The score
deterministic, from filed fieldsBYTS is not in the scored universe, so no score is shown. A withheld score is a fact about the record, not a verdict about the company.
The score is only published for names that carry both a price and a filed cash-per-share figure — 292 of the tracked fleet today. The rest keep an empty dial rather than a modelled one, and fill in by themselves as the fields land.
The company
from SEC filingsRead the full profile
BYTE Acquisition Corp. was a blank-check company whose common stock traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market under the ticker AISP. The Securities and Exchange Commission assigned it CIK 0001842566 and SIC industry code 7372 (Services-Prepackaged Software). Its initial public offering was priced on March 19, 2021, under SEC file number 333-253618, pursuant to an S-1 registration statement filed on February 26, 2021, with shares sold for cash. The company described itself as a blank-check company in its 424B4 pricing prospectus, filed under accession number 0001213900-21-016628. The vehicle completed a business combination and no longer files as a separate entity; its closure is established by an 8-K filed on December 28, 2023 (accession 0001654954-23-016064), reporting a change in shell company status under Item 5.06. EDGAR now files CIK 0001842566 under the name Airship AI Holdings, Inc.
Material findings
from the full read of every filingEvery document this company files gets read whole — body and exhibits. These are the ones the read flagged as material, newest first, each citing its filing.
Revenue growth is strong but the company remains unprofitable with a stockholders' deficit of $8.62M; warrant and earnout liabilities create ongoing fair-value volatility on the income statement. Management guided to cash-flow-positive operations by end of 2026, contingent on federal funding flows from the Secure America Act and OB3.
Stock at $2.39 remains well below the $4.50 warrant strike, making 16.15M public warrants and 515K private warrants (expiring Dec 21, 2028) deeply underwater with only 2 exercised in 6 months. Revenue growth is strong but the company is still loss-making, and 3.75M unvested earnout shares remain contingent on milestones not yet achieved.
The reoffer tranche is the part that reaches the market: 9,207,868 shares and 515,000 warrants are registered for resale by existing holders rather than issued in the merger, so they are supply available after closing on top of the 54,159,532 shares issued. Immediately before the domestication the Sponsor, Byte Holdings LP, surrenders BYTS's sole issued and outstanding Class B ordinary share to the company for no consideration, so the founder class is eliminated rather than converted. Airship AI survives the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary under Washington law.
The reoffer tranche is what a public holder should notice: 9,207,868 shares and 515,000 warrants are registered for resale by existing holders rather than issued in the deal, so they are supply that can reach the market on effectiveness. Immediately before the domestication the Sponsor, Byte Holdings LP, surrenders to BYTS for no consideration the sole issued and outstanding Class B ordinary share of $0.0001 par value — the founder class is extinguished rather than converted. The merger itself is governed by the Washington Business Corporation Act.
The registered total splits into two different things: securities issued in the deal, and 9,207,868 shares plus 515,000 warrants registered for reoffer — resale by existing holders, which can reach the market as soon as the statement is effective. Immediately before the domestication the Sponsor, Byte Holdings LP, surrenders to BYTS for no consideration the sole issued and outstanding Class B ordinary share of $0.0001 par value, extinguishing the founder class rather than converting it. The merger itself is governed by the Washington Business Corporation Act.
This first version already carries a reoffer tranche — 9,137,313 shares and 515,000 warrants registered for resale by existing holders rather than issued in the deal, so that supply can reach the market as soon as the statement is effective. Immediately before the domestication the Sponsor, Byte Holdings LP, surrenders to BYTS for no consideration the sole issued and outstanding Class B ordinary share of $0.0001 par value, extinguishing the founder class rather than converting it, and each Class A ordinary share converts one-for-one into Airship Pubco common stock.

The sponsor
The people who set this company up, what they have done before, and the advisers around the deal.
Byte Holdings LPnamed as sponsor in this SPAC’s filings — but with no researched track record behind it yet.
A missing score, not a score of zero — why
A Sponsor Score is only published once the sponsor’s prior vehicles have been verified on EDGAR and their post-close outcomes priced. That record does not exist for this sponsor yet, so no number and no tier is shown. That is a missing score, not a score of zero — and not a neutral 50 either.
Coverage so far: 301 of 1282 tracked SPACs (23%) are attached to a scored sponsor. This card fills in by itself as the research lands.

In plain English
tap a term to open itEvery piece of jargon this page could have used, and what it actually means.
Open the plain-English guide
No floor / floorlessthe cash guarantee is gone — the price is unprotected
A SPAC's downside protection is not the cash in trust; it is your right to demand that cash. Once the redemption window closes, the cash stays with the company and the share can trade anywhere.
Redemption deadlinethe last day to hand shares back for cash
Set by the filing that calls the meeting. Tender after it and the company is under no obligation to pay you the trust value.
Broker action datethe day your broker needs the instruction — earlier than the official date
Brokers batch redemption instructions to the transfer agent, so the practical cutoff is roughly two business days before the published deadline. This is the date that actually costs people the floor.
Cash in trust / trust per sharethe cash the company is holding for each public share
Filed quarterly in the 10-Q's XBRL. It earns interest between filings, so the figure on a given day is slightly higher than the last filed one — where we show that we label it an estimate.
Trust discountbuying below the cash held for you
Only meaningful while a redemption right exists. On a floorless name the same arithmetic is not a discount, it is the market pricing distress, and this product will not call it a yield.
Dilutionhow much of the company new shares take from you
Sponsor promote, PIPE shares, warrants and rights all issue stock that did not pay $10 for it. The headline deal value is before that; the effective value is after.
Pro-forma equitywhat the company is valued at once the deal closes
The combined company's equity value assuming the announced terms and the redemptions that have actually happened.
ARShow much upside you get per unit of downside
SpacBrain's asymmetric-return score. It is deterministic — the same inputs always produce the same number — and it is capped, not zeroed, when the floor is gone.
De-SPACthe day the SPAC becomes the real company
The shares stop being a claim on a pot of cash and start being equity in an operating business. Roughly 80% of recent de-SPACs traded below $10 within a year.
Outside datethe contractual long-stop for closing the deal
A deadline between the SPAC and its target, not between the SPAC and you. It confers no right to cash, which is exactly why it must never be counted as a redemption window.
Accession numberthe SEC's unique id for one filing
Every figure on this page carries the accession of the filing that states it, so you can open the primary document rather than trust us.
Accreted NAV (estimate)the last filed cash figure, plus the interest it should have earned since
A model, not a filing: last filed value compounded at the 3-month T-bill for the days elapsed. Always shown in italic with the word estimate, and never printed beside a filed number without it.

admitted from EDGAR's QUARTERLY FORM INDEX, walked without any SIC filter. The SIC 6770 census could not reach this registrant: EDGAR reassigns a shell's SIC the day it stops being one, and this CIK now files under 7372 (Services-Prepackaged Software). The screen found it by filing SHAPE instead — S-1 2021-02-26 → 8-A12B 2021-03-16 → 424B4 2021-03-19 — which nothing rewrites. Admission rule: src/lib/universe-admit.ts.

The pricing prospectus was filed under SEC file number 333-253618, which belongs to S-1 0001213900-21-012151 (2021-02-26) — a registration of shares sold for CASH, which is what makes it an IPO rather than merger consideration. Blank-check status from the registrant's own first-person sentence in that prospectus (EDGAR full-text search, 424B4 2021-03-19). Ending PROVEN, not inferred: CLOSED per 8-K 0001654954-23-016064 (2023-12-28) — 8-K item 5.06 "Change in Shell Company Status" (EDGAR item index, items: 1.01,2.01,3.02,3.03,4.01,5.01,5.02,5.03,5.05,5.06,8.01,9.01). EDGAR now files this CIK as "Airship AI Holdings, Inc." — the SPAC's own name is kept here and the successor is the target. ipoSizeM and deadline left NULL: gross-proceeds prose conflates the over-allotment with the offering, and a charter deadline belonging to a vehicle that has ended is a date nobody can act on. ipoDate is the 424B pricing date.
