What changed: Form 10-Q quarterly report for GSR IV Acquisition Corp. for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. Trust account value increased from $232,887,973 ($10.13 per share) at Dec 31, 2025 to $236,762,480 ($10.29 per share) at June 30, 2026, due to interest earned. Net income for the quarter was $1,761,315. No business combination announced; still searching. Going concern warning reiterated due to limited working capital and mandatory liquidation if no deal by deadline. Why it matters: Trust per share increase adds small value for potential redemption. Deadline remains March 5, 2027 (18-month) or June 5, 2027 (21-month). No extension sought yet. Company has limited working capital ($1.26M) and may need to liquidate if no deal by deadline. Related party underwriter (Polaris) $9.2M deferred fee due only if deal closes.

What changed: Quarterly Report (Form 10-Q) for the period ended March 31, 2026. No deal announcement or target identified. Net income of $1,692,309 for Q1 2026 vs. net loss of $2,867 for Q1 2025. Trust value per share increased to $10.21 from $10.13 at year-end 2025. Trust account balance $234,810,121 as of March 31, 2026. Company made a $125,000 permitted withdrawal from trust for working capital. Disclosure controls were deemed ineffective due to inadequate segregation of duties and insufficient written policies. Going concern disclosure updated with working capital of $1,448,148 and $310,597 operating cash. $1,000,000 placed in a separate investment account ($500,000 cash equivalent, $500,000 short-term CD). Prepaid expenses increased to $190,240 from $148,812. Administrative services expense $166,668 for the quarter. Accumulated deficit deepened to ($7,752,493) from ($7,522,654). Why it matters: Investors tracking the trust value per share will note it is now $10.21, up from $10.13, reflecting trust interest income. The cash burn rate ($364,478 operating cash used in Q1) and the disclosure of internal control weaknesses are relevant to assessing sponsor conduct and operational risk before any vote. The going concern language, while standard for a pre-deal SPAC, emphasizes the deadline pressure. No new working capital loans were taken, and the sponsor note was repaid upon IPO closing. The absence of any target identification or business combination agreement in the filing affirms the SPAC remains in the searching phase with a deadline of 2027-03-05.

What changed: 10-K (Annual Report) for fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, filed by GSR IV Acquisition Corp., a blank-check company that completed its IPO on September 5, 2025 and is searching for a business combination. The Company completed its $230 million IPO (including full over-allotment) and a $6.555 million private placement on September 5, 2025. The trust account held $232,887,973 as of December 31, 2025, representing a per-share redemption value of $10.13. Net income for 2025 was $2,320,989 (trust interest income of $2,887,973 partially offset by $567,012 in G&A expenses), versus a net loss of $10,117 in 2024. Cash outside trust was $1,550,075 and working capital was $1,677,987. The filing discloses a material weakness in disclosure controls and procedures due to inadequate segregation of duties and insufficient written policies, and that the auditor has raised substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern if a business combination is not completed within the 18–21 month period (deadline March 5, 2027 at the 18-month mark). No business combination has been announced. The Company also notes that the SEC's 2024 SPAC Rules may materially affect its ability to negotiate and complete a combination. Why it matters: This is the SPAC's first annual report post-IPO, providing investors with audited financial statements, trust account balances, redemption mechanics, and a clear timetable. The disclosure of a material weakness in internal controls and a going-concern qualification are significant risks. The filing confirms the trust is fully funded with interest accreted, and that the sponsor has waived redemption rights on founder shares. Any investor tracking redemption deadlines, trust value, extensions, or deal progress needs this baseline information to assess the SPAC's financial health and timeline.
What changed: Routine Schedule 13G/A compliant disclosure reporting changes in beneficial ownership of GSRF common stock. The filing designates AQR Capital Management, LLC, AQR Capital Management Holdings, LLC, and AQR Arbitrage, LLC as reporting persons for the amended schedule. The /A designation confirms this updates prior regulatory filings, but the provided excerpt supplies zero quantitative data—no share counts, percentage stakes, acquisition dates, or transaction prices are listed. Accordingly, the document bears no direct weight on redemption mechanics, trust valuation calculations, extension triggers, business combination timelines, or sponsor conduct. It also contains no substantive claims regarding customers, revenue streams, addressable markets, corporate strategy, proprietary technology, commercial partnerships, active litigation, or executive appointments. Why it matters: While 13G/A filings alert investors to institutional portfolio adjustments, the omission of numerical disclosures in this excerpt means the filing cannot signal accumulation, distribution, or activist positioning ahead of upcoming capital events. Shareholder redemption timing, trust preservation requirements, and target identification remain governed by merger agreements, tender offer announcements, and SPAC periodic reports rather than this ownership register entry.
What changed: A Schedule 13G, which is a routine SEC compliance exhibit used by investors and groups to publicly disclose that their aggregate beneficial ownership of a class of voting securities has crossed the five percent threshold. The November 17, 2025 filing reports joint beneficial ownership held collectively by GSR IV Sponsor LLC, Gus Garcia, Lewis Silberman, and Anantha Ramamurti. The excerpt provided contains no share quantities, percentage calculations, acquisition dates, or purpose statements, and it makes no reference to redemptions, trust account movements, extension proposals, or merger target selection. Why it matters: The grouping formally establishes that the sponsor entity and three named principals are operating as a single regulatory reporting unit, confirming aligned capital commitment among the core founding team. It does not alter the SPAC’s SEARCHING status, leave the $10.29 per share trust balance unchanged, reset the 2027-03-05 business combination deadline, or signal any deviation in sponsor conduct regarding liquidation timelines or shareholder approvals. As noted by the filers themselves, this is a baseline ownership declaration; material shifts in deal pacing, extension voting, or sponsor governance would require subsequent amendments, proxy materials, or tender offer filings rather than this routine disclosure.
What changed: Routine quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2025 – the first quarterly report following the company's IPO and private placement in September 2025. GSRF completed its IPO on September 5, 2025, issuing 23,000,000 units (including over-allotment) at $10.00, generating gross proceeds of $230,000,000, and a simultaneous private placement of 655,500 units to the sponsor for $6,555,000. The trust account held $230,662,819 as of September 30, 2025 (trust value per share $10.03). The company reported net income of $488,891 for the quarter, primarily from interest on trust investments. It disclosed a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting and raised substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern if a business combination is not completed within the 18-21 month completion window. The sponsor transferred 60,000 founder shares to three independent directors. No business combination or target has been announced. Why it matters: This is the first financial report post-IPO, providing baseline financials and trust value. The trust redemption value per share is $10.03, slightly above the $10.00 IPO price. The going concern and material weakness disclosures are cautionary. The 18-21 month deadline (through March 2027) is extended; the trust balance indicates shareholders can redeem at ~$10.03 if no deal closes. The filing also reveals sponsor conduct: immediate transfer of founder shares to directors and a $5,000 private placement receivable from sponsor. No extension votes or redemptions have occurred yet.
What changed: A Joint Filing Agreement appended to a Schedule 13G beneficial ownership report, executed on November 14, 2025. The filing establishes a joint filing arrangement for Schedule 13G submission among LMR Partners LLP, LMR PARTNERS Ltd, LMR Partners LLC, LMR Partners AG, LMR PARTNERS (DIFC) Ltd, LMR Partners (Ireland) Limited, Ben Levine, and Stefan Renold. Shane Cullinane (Chief Operating Officer) and Allyson Hanlon (US Legal Counsel) are designated as authorized signatories. The text contains zero statements regarding GSR IV’s target identification, valuation, merger timeline, extension motions, investor redemption windows, trust account administration, or sponsor governance conduct. Why it matters: This document functions exclusively as a regulatory housekeeping instrument. All acknowledgments are attributed solely to the LMR Partners signatories and confirm that each party assumes individual responsibility for the timeliness, completeness, and accuracy of their own reported holdings, while consenting to future amendments being filed jointly without additional agreements. Because it contains no business operations, financial metrics, strategic objectives, litigation allegations, partnership announcements, or personnel changes beyond corporate officer titling, it neither advances nor obstructs the SPAC’s conversion deadline, alters trust per-share mechanics, signals deal progress, or reflects sponsor decision-making. It provides no actionable intelligence for redemption calendar tracking or capital deployment analysis.
What changed: A Schedule 13G, which is a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission regulatory filing used to publicly report the acquisition of beneficial ownership of an equity security exceeding five percent. The filing provides no update on GSR IV’s redemption deadline (2027-03-05), trust account valuation, extension status, target identification progress, or sponsor conduct. It solely records that Polar Asset Management Partners Inc. submitted a beneficial ownership report on 2025-11-14. Why it matters: Because Polar Asset Management Partners Inc. makes no textual claims regarding customers, revenue, market size, strategy, technology, partnerships, litigation, or personnel, and the excerpt discloses no share counts, percentage thresholds, or pricing figures, the filing offers no measurable insight into de‑SPAC trajectory, trust preservation, or capital commitment dynamics. Without accompanying tables (e.g., Schedule 13G Item 4 source of funds, voting/disposal power allocations) or explicit acquisition dates, investors cannot determine whether the position reflects passive indexing, active accumulation, or potential coordination under Section 13(d)(3). As a routine compliance exhibit containing only filer identification and filing metadata [0002048251-25-002358], it does not alter current expectations regarding GSR IV’s operational or financial milestones.
What changed: Schedule 13G beneficial ownership report. The excerpt identifies three affiliated reporting persons—AQR Capital Management, LLC; AQR Capital Management Holdings, LLC; and AQR Arbitrage, LLC—but provides no share counts, ownership percentages, acquisition dates, or explicit statement of a recent change in beneficial ownership position. Why it matters: A Schedule 13G discloses that the reporting entities hold, or have acquired within the prior 60 days, more than 5% of a registrant’s voting securities. In a search-stage SPAC, such filings track institutional accumulation that could later serve as anchor capital or reflect passive index/arbitrage positioning. Because this text omits the actual quantity of shares, the baseline percentage, whether the filing marks an initial crossing or a subsequent movement, and the stated purpose of the schedule, it does not move GSRF’s redemption timeline, $10.29 per share trust accounting, 2027-03-05 deadline mechanics, extension feasibility, or sponsor conduct metrics.
What changed: Routine compliance exhibit: a Schedule 13G, which is a statutory beneficial ownership report identifying reporting holders Glazer Capital, LLC and Paul J. Glazer. The provided filing text lists only the two holder names and the SEC accession number [0001076809-25-000127]. It discloses no share quantities, acquisition dates, price paid, ownership percentages, or statements of purpose. Accordingly, the document makes no adjustments to redemption exposure, trust account mechanics, extension voting thresholds, business combination timelines, or sponsor governance conduct. Why it matters: Because the excerpt omits all quantitative metrics and strategic intent, it provides no visibility into whether the named parties hold a voteable block capable of influencing shareholder decisions prior to the 2027-03-05 deadline, nor does it signal redemption activity against the existing per-share trust balance. Without disclosed holdings or investment posture, the registration does not alter GSRF’s searching phase or reflect any shift in sponsor behavior. The text contains no substantive disclosures regarding customers, revenue, market size, strategy, technology, partnerships, litigation, or personnel.
What changed: A Schedule 13G joint filing agreement and beneficial ownership report, classified as a routine compliance exhibit. The filing discloses that Magnetar Financial LLC, Magnetar Capital Partners LP, Supernova Management LLC, and David J. Snyderman hold beneficial ownership of shares in GSR IV Acquisition Corp. I as of September 30, 2025. The undersigned execute a joint filing agreement authorizing a single submission under Rule 13d-1(k), with Hayley Stein signing as attorney-in-fact for all four entities on November 12, 2025. No amendments to redemption windows, trust account valuations, extension proposals, target acquisition milestones, or sponsor conduct are contained within the document. Why it matters: For investors tracking the SPAC’s lifecycle, this exhibit confirms active equity positioning by Magnetar-affiliated funds and David J. Snyderman. The filing contains zero commercial or operational claims—no customer disclosures, revenue statements, market sizing, technology roadmaps, partnership agreements, litigation summaries, or personnel appointments. It does not mechanically alter redemption procedures or trust distributions. However, it materially clarifies the nested corporate architecture (limited liability companies, limited partnerships, and management entities) directing the disclosed stake and updates the public register of significant holders, which informs assessments of potential voting blocs and sponsor alignment as the filing parties approach the stated business combination deadline.
What changed: Form 8-K current report accompanied by press release Exhibit 99.1, notifying regulators and investors that GSR IV Acquisition Corp. is initiating the decoupling of class A ordinary shares and rights from its publicly offered units. Per the company’s filing, commencing October 20, 2025, holders of the 23,000,000 initial public offering units (which included 3,000,000 units from the full exercise of the underwriter’s over-allotment option) may elect to separately trade the underlying shares and rights. Each unit comprises one class A ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share, and one-seventh of one right; each whole right entitles the holder to one share upon business combination consummation. No fractional rights issue, and only whole rights will trade. Unseparated units retain the GSRFU Nasdaq symbol, while separated shares and rights begin trading as GSRF and GSRFR. Brokers must direct Odyssey Transfer and Trust Company to execute the split. The filing makes no adjustments to the stated March 5, 2027 liquidation deadline or redemption mechanics, reports zero progress on a target acquisition, and notes no sponsor-driven extension activity. Why it matters: This is a standard post-offering operational step to unlock component-level liquidity ahead of a merger, requiring investors to instruct their brokers rather than waiting for automatic treatment. Regarding broader substance, the October 17, 2025 press release states the company intends to identify targets possessing 'compelling public-market narratives, high visibility of growth prospects, and attractive cash flow dynamics now or in the near future' to leverage public listing access for accelerated growth. The registration statement (S-1, File No. 333-289061) became effective on September 2, 2025. The filing identifies Anantha Ramamurti as the company’s President & CFO issuing the press release, and notes Gus Garcia signed the 8-K as Co-Chief Executive Officer. As a shell entity still in the SEARCHING phase, the document confirms administrative readiness but provides no customer contracts, revenue metrics, partnership announcements, litigation updates, or personnel changes beyond the named officers’ execution of this mechanical notice.
What changed: A Form 8-K Current Report and accompanying Exhibit 99.1 Audited Balance Sheet disclosing the consummation of GSR IV Acquisition Corp.’s initial public offering and post-closing financial position. Per the company's filing, the IPO closed on September 5, 2025, with the sale of 23,000,000 Units (inclusive of a fully exercised 3,000,000 Unit over-allotment) at $10.00 per Unit, generating $230,000,000 in gross proceeds. Concurrently, the company completed a private placement of 655,500 units to GSR IV Sponsor LLC and Polaris Advisory Partners LLC at $10.00 per unit for approximately $6,555,000. As detailed in the audited balance sheet, $230,000,000 was placed into a segregated trust account administered by Odyssey Transfer and Trust Company, leaving $2,038,192 in operating cash against $5,300 in current liabilities and $9,200,000 in deferred underwriting commissions. The filing establishes a Completion Window of 18 or 21 months following IPO closing, noting that any extension beyond 21 months requires a special resolution approved by at least two-thirds of voting shareholders and obligates the company to offer pro-rata redemptions. Regarding sponsor conduct, the company reports that on August 18, 2025, the Sponsor transferred 60,000 Class B Founder Shares to three independent directors at $0.004348 per share, entered an administrative services agreement to pay the Sponsor up to $55,556 monthly commencing September 5, 2025, and satisfied a previously amended $300,000 promissory note upon IPO closing. Zero Working Capital Loans remain outstanding. Why it matters: This announcement finalizes the capital raise, officially activating the statutory redemption deadline and trust maintenance timeline. The documented $230,000,000 trust principal and $9,200,000 deferred commission structure define the precise capital allocation ceiling for any eventual business combination versus sponsor/underwriter distribution. Management states that each unit includes one Class A ordinary share and one-seventh of one right, clarifying that whole rights convert to one additional share only upon business combination completion and will expire worthless if the Completion Window passes without a transaction. The filing also imposes a 15% aggregate redemption limit per shareholder group acting in concert without company consent, structurally capping rapid outflows during future vote windows. External auditor MaloneBailey, LLP explicitly flags a Going Concern Matter, noting that failure to complete a business combination triggers mandatory liquidation and dissolution, underscoring the binary outcome pressure on management. Ongoing burn is quantified by the $55,556 monthly administrative draw and general operating expenses funded from the $2,038,192 operating balance, creating a measurable drag against trust interest accrual before any combination occurs. Co-Chief Executive Officer Gus Garcia attests to these disclosures, confirming the operational and governance framework now governing GSRF pending a target announcement.
What changed: A procedural Exhibit A (Joint Filing Agreement) attached to a Schedule 13G beneficial ownership report, establishing a joint filing arrangement among Linden Capital L.P., Linden GP LLC, Linden Advisors LP, and Siu Min Wong. No information bearing on redemption deadlines, trust value, extension mechanisms, target identification, merger progress, or sponsor conduct is reported. The text does not disclose updated ownership percentages, aggregate share counts, voting thresholds, or any modifications to the stated March 5, 2027 timeline or $10.29 trust/share metric. Why it matters: For investors monitoring the $10.29 trust per share, the March 5, 2027 redemption window, or deal execution status, this document provides zero mechanical or strategic updates. It serves exclusively to confirm compliance with Rule 13d-1(k) by the named holders. The filing cites a June 10, 2019 power of attorney from a prior Haymaker Acquisition Corp II submission to validate signer Saul Ahn’s authority for Siu Min Wong, which holds no relevance to current GSRF capital structure, holder voting leverage, or sponsor activities. Absent numerical disclosures or timeline adjustments, the filing carries no immediate material weight for redemption or merger tracking.
What changed: A Form 4 insider ownership report filed by GSR IV Sponsor LLC and three directors/executives to disclose equity transaction activity. The filing explicitly states there were 'No non-derivative transactions or holdings reported' for any of the four listed reporting persons: GSR IV Sponsor LLC, Gus Garcia (director, co-chief executive officer, 10% owner), Lewis Silberman (director, co-chief executive officer, 10% owner), and Anantha Ramamurti (director, president & cfo, 10% owner). Consequently, no insider equity positions changed hands during the period covered by this Form 4 filed on 2025-09-05. Why it matters: For investors tracking redemption windows, trust preservation, extension mechanics, deal progress, and sponsor conduct, Form 4 filings are screened for accumulation or distribution that often signals management conviction, liquidity pressure, or reaction to trust accounting changes. This filing confirms that none of the co-ceos or president & cfo purchased or sold shares, meaning sponsor alignment remained static and no insider selling pressure emerged. While the zero-transaction result provides no direct insight into target identification, valuation discussions, or extension voting plans, it establishes a compliance baseline showing unchanged equity posture ahead of the upcoming deadline. Routine non-reporting of trades does not advance the SEARCHING timeline but removes insider distribution as a variable affecting shareholder sentiment or redemption dynamics.
What changed: Form 8-K announcing the closing of GSR IV Acquisition Corp.'s initial public offering, including full exercise of the over-allotment option, and related agreements. The company completed its IPO of 23,000,000 units at $10.00 per unit, raising $230,000,000 in gross proceeds, which were deposited into the trust account. The underwriter fully exercised its over-allotment option. Simultaneously, the company completed a private placement of 655,500 private placement units to the sponsor and Polaris, generating $6,555,000. The company also appointed three independent directors (Jonathan Cole, Jody Sitkoski, Susie Kuan) and adopted amended and restated memorandum and articles of association. Why it matters: This filing establishes the SPAC's trust account with $230,000,000, providing the baseline for future redemptions and business combination. The trust per-share value is $10.00 (before interest). The company now has an 18-month (or up to 21-month) deadline to complete a business combination, with a deadline in March 2027 (18 months from September 2025 is March 2027). The private placement units have lock-up restrictions. The board is now constituted with classified directors. Investors should track the trust value and any future extensions or deals.
What changed: A final prospectus (424B4) filed by GSR IV Acquisition Corp. in connection with its $200 million initial public offering of 20,000,000 units, each priced at $10.00 and consisting of one Class A ordinary share and one-seventh of one right. The offering is being made on a firm commitment basis and the units are approved for listing on Nasdaq under the symbol 'GSRFU'. This document represents the effective prospectus for the SPAC's IPO, which was previously in registration. The trust will hold $200.0 million ($10.00 per unit) upon closing of the offering and the concurrent private placement. The deadline to complete an initial business combination is 18 months from the closing, extendable by the sponsor to 21 months (without a shareholder vote). The sponsor (GSR IV Sponsor LLC) and its members, including the management team, hold 5,750,000 founder shares (paid $25,000) and have committed to purchase 610,500 private placement units ($6,105,000). The document confirms no target has been selected and no substantive discussions have occurred. Why it matters: This filing establishes the SPAC's public capital structure, trust value, and all redemption mechanics for investors to track from Day 1. The trust is seeded at $10.00 per public share, which is the baseline for any future redemption calculations. The 18/21-month deadline sets the clock for deal completion. The document also provides key sponsor conduct details: the management team also controls the underwriter (Polaris Advisory Partners), presenting a FINRA Rule 5121 conflict of interest; two prior SPACs associated with this team (GSR II Meteora and Graf IV) saw high extension redemption rates (77.4% and 64.6%, respectively). The inclusion of 12 institutional and 2 individual 'sponsor members' as non-managing investors in the sponsor is notable, as they acquire economic interests in the founder shares and private placement units.
What changed: Form S-1 Registration Statement (S-1MEF) filed pursuant to Rule 462(b) to register additional securities and amend unit composition. The registrant increased the aggregate number of registered Class A ordinary shares by 1,428,571 shares, or up to 1,642,857 if the over-allotment option is exercised in full. The filing also changes the unit structure so that each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and one-seventh (1/7) of one whole right to receive one Class A ordinary share upon consummation of the initial business combination. According to the filing, these adjustments do not modify the March 5, 2027 redemption deadline, the $10.29 trust value per share, or the current SEARCHING status. Why it matters: This material event filing updates the equity and rights package sold to public investors before a business combination is identified. The addition of the 1/7 fractional right creates a specific post-combination dilution mechanic that will affect share count economics at merger closing, though no target company, valuation, or extension motion is referenced. The additional registered shares represent no more than 20% of the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the prior registration statement (File No. 333-289061), which the Commission declared effective on September 2, 2025. Co-CEOs Gus Garcia and Lewis Silberman, together with CFO Anantha Ramamurti and directors Jody Sitkoski, Susie Kuan, and Jonathan Cole II, executed the document, attesting to administrative continuity and regulatory compliance rather than active deal pursuit or sponsor conduct shifts. Legal opinions and fee certifications were supplied by Appleby (Cayman) Ltd., Latham & Watkins LLP, and MaloneBailey LLP, confirming standard exchange filing mechanics.
What changed: Routine compliance exhibit: Amendment No. 1 to Form 8-A registering certain classes of securities pursuant to Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. According to the registrant, this filing amends and restates in its entirety the prior Form 8-A filed on September 2, 2025, to formally register units, Class A ordinary shares, and rights for listing on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC. The company explicitly defines the mechanical structure: units consist of one Class A ordinary share and one-seventh of one whole right, and each whole right entitles the holder to receive one Class A ordinary share, with a stated par value of $0.0001. The amendment incorporates the security descriptions from the prospectus included in the Form S-1 filed July 29, 2025 (File No. 333-289061) by reference. No language alters redemption calendars, trust account distributions, extension periods, or business combination targets. Why it matters: Beyond listing registration, the document contains no operational claims, customer metrics, revenue projections, technological milestones, partnership announcements, or personnel shifts. The registrant relies entirely on existing S-1 prospectus language to satisfy Nasdaq requirements, indicating standard post-IPO administrative structuring rather than deal catalyst activity. For investors monitoring redemption deadlines, sponsor conduct, or trust value mechanics, this filing is procedurally neutral; it confirms component separation rules without moving the merger clock or modifying shareholder rights beyond the already-filed prospectus framework.
What changed: A Form 8-A registration statement registering certain classes of securities—Units, Class A ordinary shares, and Rights—of GSR IV Acquisition Corp. for listing on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC pursuant to Section 12(b) and 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Signed on September 2, 2025, by Co-Chief Executive Officer Gus Garcia, this filing formally registers the continuation of the Company’s public trading instruments. It defines the mechanical composition of the listed securities: each Unit contains one Class A ordinary share and one-fourteenth of one whole right, and each Right entitles the holder to receive one Class A ordinary share. The Company’s par value is set at $0.0001 per share. The document cross-references the prospectus description from the Form S-1 filed July 29, 2025, and introduces no amendments to trust account allocations, shareholder redemption thresholds, extension provisions, or merger progress indicators. Why it matters: For investors monitoring registration validity and liquidation horizons, this submission confirms routine exchange compliance without altering capital event triggers. It contains no claims regarding customers, revenue, market size, corporate strategy, technology development, partnership agreements, pending litigation, or executive compensation adjustments. The sole personnel attribution names Co-Chief Executive Officer Gus Garcia as the executing authority, and the sole temporal reference points to the July 29, 2025 registration statement and the September 2, 2025 signature date. Because the filing functions exclusively as a procedural registry update, it carries no forward-looking operational weight or redemption calendar impact.
What changed: SEC Form 3 initial statement of beneficial ownership for GSR IV Acquisition Corp., filed by Orime Yuya, Chief BDO, documenting that the submission contains no non-derivative transactions or equity holdings. As explicitly stated by the filer, there are zero reported changes to insider equity positions, derivative exercises, or grants. Consequently, the filing registers no adjustment to the SPAC's SEARCHING status, no movement in the documented $10.29 per-share trust balance, no impact on the 2027-03-05 business combination deadline, no extension vote activity, and no progression toward a target acquisition or shift in sponsor conduct. Why it matters: Per the filer's disclosure, the absence of reported holdings creates a verified Section 16 baseline for this principal, ensuring that future Forms 4 will capture genuine economic shifts rather than backdated allocations. While this procedural compliance anchor does not move the redemption calendar or alter trust mechanics, it confirms that Chief BDO Orime Yuya carries no current public equity exposure, leaving the full trust reserve available for unredemptions and maintaining the March 5, 2027 expiration window without insider dilution or voting pressure. Investors tracking sponsor alignment and capital deployment should treat this as a neutral compliance milestone until a subsequent filing documents acquisition-linked compensation, warrant exercises, or private placement activity.
What changed: SEC Form 3 – Initial Statement of Beneficial Ownership. Reporting person and director Jody J. Sitkoski disclosed no non-derivative transactions or holdings, meaning no initial equity stake or derivative position was recorded for this filer. Why it matters: This does not alter the $10.29 per share trust balance, the March 5, 2027 business combination deadline, or any redemption and extension mechanics. The document contains no claims regarding customers, revenue, market size, strategy, technology, partnerships, litigation, or additional personnel updates. The zero-holding disclosure originates entirely from the filing itself and simply establishes that this director has not yet taken a proprietary stake in the SPAC, providing no new signal regarding sponsor conduct, deal progression, or investor timeline adjustments.
What changed: A Form 3 insider ownership report identifying the GSR IV Sponsor LLC, directors/co-chief executive officers Gus Garcia and Lewis Silberman, and director/president & chief financial officer Anantha Ramamurti, each logged as a 10% owner of GSR IV Acquisition Corp. Per the filing’s own notation that there were 'No non-derivative transactions or holdings reported,' there is no alteration to redemption calendar mechanics, trust share reserve calculations, extension voting thresholds, target discovery progression, or sponsor conduct metrics. Why it matters: The static record filed on 2025-09-02 provides no actionable signals regarding liquidity pressure or deal acceleration for shareholders evaluating the stated expiration timeframe. Attributed entirely to the regulator’s intake form, the document discloses no data on customer pipelines, contracted revenue, aggregate market valuations, corporate strategy shifts, technology milestones, alliance frameworks, pending litigation, or executive roster changes.
What changed: SEC Form 3 — Initial Statement of Beneficial Ownership by a Director, filed 2025-09-02 (reference 0001213900-25-083526) for GSR IV Acquisition Corp., submitted by director Kuan Man Wa. As explicitly stated in the filing, no non-derivative transactions or holdings were reported by Kuan Man Wa. The document contains no disclosures affecting the $10.29 trust per share, the 2027-03-05 deadline, extension mechanics, target acquisition progress, merger execution, or sponsor conduct. All tracked SPAC operational and financial variables remain static relative to this submission. Why it matters: Investors tracking redemption windows, trust account valuations, extension ballots, or deSPAC timelines will note that this routine compliance exhibit introduces no data point that alters the existing framework. The filing’s recorded absence of director-level position changes eliminates insider equity movement as a near-term market signal ahead of March 5, 2027 or any potential business combination announcement. It functions solely as a regulatory registry update without signaling sponsorship strategy shifts, liquidity positioning, or shareholder incentive recalibrations.
What changed: Form 3 insider ownership report filed by director Cole Jonathan Richard for GSR IV Acquisition Corp., categorically stating no non-derivative transactions or holdings were reported. This is a routine compliance exhibit; no insider equity positions shifted on or before the September 2, 2025 filing date, leaving the director stake static. Consequently, there are zero alterations to redemption deadlines, trust account mechanics, extension voting timelines, deal execution progress, or sponsor trading behavior relative to the March 5, 2027 deadline. Why it matters: Beyond confirming a static insider position, the filing discloses nothing about customers, revenue, market size, corporate strategy, proprietary technology, third-party partnerships, ongoing litigation, or personnel adjustments. No executive, advisor, or sponsor issued statements in this submission to attribute claims about valuation targets or target search velocity. Investors monitoring a SEARCHING SPAC receive a clean slate verification rather than a tactical update, meaning calendar expectations remain anchored to the original expiration window while trust preservation and extension eligibility depend entirely on future operational filings rather than this disclosure.
What changed: A regulatory correspondence (CORRESP) formally requesting the SEC to accelerate the effective date of GSR IV Acquisition Corp.'s initial registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-289061). Pursuant to language submitted by Gus Garcia, Partner at Polaris Advisory Partners LLC (a division of Kingswood Capital Partners LLC), the filing seeks to advance the Form S-1 effective time to 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on September 2, 2025, or as soon thereafter as practicable. The signatory states that participating underwriters will take reasonable steps to secure adequate prospectus distribution and will comply with Rule 15c2-8 requirements prior to the requested effective time. Why it matters: This correspondence advances the administrative timeline for a potential public offering but leaves all tracked SPAC mechanics unaffected. The filing contains no disclosure of a business combination target, redemption schedule adjustments, trust account modifications, extension votes, or sponsor conduct shifts. It reflects routine IPO preparation and distribution readiness rather than merger deal progress, meaning tracked parameters remain static while the issuer positions itself to launch share sales to the public.
What changed: This document is a Rule 461 correspondence (Request for Acceleration of Effectiveness) filed by GSR IV Acquisition Corp. with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Division of Corporation Finance regarding File No. 333-289061. GSR IV Acquisition Corp. requests that the Form S-1 Registration Statement become effective at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on September 2, 2025, or as soon as practicable thereafter. The filing introduces no alterations to redemption windows, trust account balances, extension provisions, merger negotiation status, or sponsor behavior. Co-Chief Executive Officer Lewis Silberman executed the letter; Co-Chief Executive Officer Gus Garcia was copied; and counsel Steven B. Stokdyk of Latham & Watkins LLP was directed to receive oral confirmation of effectiveness by dialing (213) 891-7421. Why it matters: As a procedural capital markets submission, the correspondence does not modify investor capital return timelines, adjust per-share trust valuations, or signal advancement toward a business combination target. It contains no substantive claims regarding customer contracts, revenue streams, total addressable market, corporate strategy, proprietary technology, strategic partnerships, legal proceedings, or executive compensation. The document solely reflects routine sponsor engagement to expedite the registration process, carrying negligible direct impact for investors monitoring redemption deadlines, trust dynamics, or deal execution risk.
What changed: An S-1/A registration statement (Amendment No. 1) filed by GSR IV Acquisition Corp. for its proposed initial public offering of 20,000,000 units (up to 23,000,000 if the over-allotment is exercised) at $10.00 per unit. The filing contains the full prospectus for the IPO, including detailed descriptions of the offering structure, sponsor compensation, trust mechanics, redemption rights, extension provisions, risk factors, financial statements, and exhibits such as the underwriting agreement, charter documents, and material agreements. It reflects the first amendment to the registration statement (Amendment No. 1) with the filed date of August 22, 2025, substantially updating the preliminary prospectus. Why it matters: This is the primary disclosure document establishing the terms of the SPAC's IPO. For investors tracking redemption deadlines and trust value, the document specifies a trust per-share value of $10.00 (initially $200 million, or $230 million with over-allotment), a deadline to complete a business combination of 18 months (or up to 21 months at the Sponsor's discretion), and that if the deadline is not met, public shareholders will receive their pro rata share of the trust account (less permitted withdrawals and up to $100,000 of interest for dissolution expenses). It also describes that the Sponsor, officers, and directors have agreed to vote any founder shares and private placement shares in favor of a business combination and to waive their redemption rights. For deal progress, it confirms that no business combination target has been selected and no substantive discussions have occurred. For sponsor conduct, it details sponsor compensation (including $55,556/month for office space, up to $300,000 loan, purchase of 610,500 private placement units) and lock-up provisions. The financial statements (audited through December 31, 2024 and unaudited through June 30, 2025) show a working capital deficit and raise substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern, which is expected to be alleviated by the IPO proceeds.
What changed: This document is a Securities and Exchange Commission correspondence letter submitted by Latham & Watkins LLP on behalf of GSR IV Acquisition Corp., responding to staff comments on the June 29, 2025 Form S-1 registration statement and concurrently filing Amendment No. 1. Regarding investor mechanics, this filing introduces no adjustments to the March 5, 2027 termination deadline, any extension triggers, active acquisition targets, redemption price formulas, or sponsor conduct obligations. The Company’s stated status remains SEARCHING. All operational parameters tied to the trust account, public shareholder voting thresholds, and target merger timelines are left unmodified by this submission. Why it matters: For broader substance, the Company attributes to itself textual revisions designed to satisfy SEC staff review. In response to staff comment 7, the Company added a Rule 14e-5 compliance analysis explaining how director and officer purchases of public shares could satisfy securities rules when those shares are voted in favor of an initial business combination, updating disclosure across pages 19, 24, 25, 45, 46, 74, 110, 111, 112, 114, 139, and 150. In response to staff comment 17, the Company expanded biographical sections to list the five-year principal occupations, business experience, and employment history for each director and executive officer, revising pages 3, 4, 5, 97, 98, 99, 129, 130, and 131. Co-Chief Executive Officers Gus Garcia and Lewis Silberman are identified as the corporate principals directing the registration effort, with law firm attorney Steven B. Stokdyk coordinating the EDGAR filing under File No. 333-289061. These updates reflect standard pre-offering regulatory remediation and personnel disclosure enhancement rather than commercial development or de-SPAC merger execution.
What changed: SEC Division of Corporation Finance comment letter regarding GSR IV Acquisition Corp.’s Form S-1 registration statement (File No. 333-289061), dated August 11, 2025. The SEC staff acknowledges the company’s revised disclosures but continues to require five-year employment, principal occupation, and business experience details for every director and executive officer. Staff notes that the registration statement currently discloses on pages 26, 112, and 110 that directors and officers have agreed to vote in favor of an initial business combination for any public shares they acquire, and that the purpose of those purchases could be to increase shareholder approval odds. The Commission requests an analysis of how those purchases comply with Rule 14e-5. Management was reminded that it retains ultimate responsibility for disclosure accuracy regardless of SEC review, and was directed to allow sufficient time for amendment examination before seeking acceleration under Rules 460 and 461. Gus Garcia Co-Chief Executive Officer is addressed directly. The filing references prior staff comments from July 17, 2025. Why it matters: This pre-effectiveness correspondence does not modify GSRF’s redemption mechanics, trust account valuation, or liquidation schedule. It does, however, place explicit regulatory scrutiny on sponsor and executive share accumulation strategies ahead of any merger announcement. Until the requested Rule 14e-5 compliance analysis and expanded biographical disclosures are incorporated and the S-1 becomes effective, GSR IV cannot price or announce a definitive business combination. The SEC’s emphasis on voting alignment via insider purchases signals that staff will closely monitor how management attempts to secure shareholder approval. No claims regarding customers, revenue, market size, operating strategy, technology, partnerships, active litigation, or personnel departures appear in this document.
What changed: SEC Correspondence (CORRESP) submitting the Company's written responses to the Division of Corporation Finance's July 17, 2025 comment letter regarding a Confidential Draft Registration Statement on Form S-1, filed concurrently with a definitive Registration Statement on Form S-1. Regarding redemption mechanics, trust value, extension timelines, and sponsor conduct: The SEC staff asked whether redemptions face limitations; the Company acknowledged a '$5,000,001 net tangible asset requirement' and a 'redemption limitation for shareholders holding more than 15% of the shares sold in the offering,' revising the cover page to confirm both. The staff questioned reconciling the asset floor with 'permitted withdrawals' including up to '$100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses' and noted a stated lack of 'maximum redemption threshold'; the Company revised multiple pages to align these disclosures. On trust erosion risks, the Company added a risk factor acknowledging the August 2022 Inflation Reduction Act's stock buyback excise tax, noting it could 'reduce the trust account funds available to pay redemptions' or force remaining shareholders to economically bear the tax burden if others redeem. For administrative funding near the 2027-03-05 deadline, the staff queried why only '$350,000 for office space and staffing support'—representing approximately 6 months at '$55,556 per month' per the Administrative Services Agreement—was budgeted outside the trust instead of covering the full 18-month pursuit window; the Company revised disclosures to clarify intent to fund those operating costs using interest earned in the trust account. On sponsor conduct and governance, the Company confirmed the sponsor lacks substantial ties to a non-U.S. person, revised conflict disclosures regarding co-CEO Lewis Silberman's simultaneous directorship at Chain Bridge I following its terminated merger, added a risk factor detailing the sponsor's unconditional right to remove itself by transferring founder shares or membership interests prior to deal identification (potentially leaving a successor sponsor unable to locate a target), and reconciled forward-looking statements that insiders might purchase public shares or rights in the open market to vote in favor of a combination at prices differing from redemption price. Addressing corporate structure and capitalization: The Company adjusted anti-dilution adjustment language for founder shares aimed at maintaining a 20% post-offering ownership level, stating prior footnote disclosures were inapplicable and declining to add further cover page or tabular transparency. The staff challenged voting quorum and approval math; the Company clarified that under the amended memorandum and articles of association, a quorum requires one-third of outstanding shares represented, necessitating 8,786,834 shares for attendance, 4,393,418 votes for simple majority approval, and allowing zero public shares to vote in favor if foundational equity satisfies the threshold when 5,750,000 founder shares and 610,500 private placement shares participate, which generates a 34.1% calculation baseline assuming no over-allotment exercise. To satisfy Class designations, the Company updated director tables to specify three classified director groups of six members each, appending five-year employment histories per Regulation S-K Item 401(e). Finally, the Company updated the forum selection clause to disclose New York court exclusivity for rights agreement litigation, cautioned investors that enforceability against Securities Act claims remains uncertain, and reaffirmed that compliance with Section 22 of the Securities Act cannot be waived, while pledging to refresh unregistered investment company risk profiles if operational circumstances shift. Why it matters: The explicit redemption caps, net tangible asset floors, and excise tax allocations directly dictate cash distribution ceilings and shareholder economic outcomes upon de-SPAC execution. The clarified voting quorum and approval thresholds determine whether foundational equity can passively approve a transaction or whether active public participation is mandatory, altering negotiation leverage. Governance disclosures expose sponsor exit options prior to target identification, a known board conflict involving another SPAC's failed merger, and a fixed out-of-trust administrative burn rate that underscores operational reliance on trust interest yields through the March 2027 termination date. Collectively, these amendments refine the risk parameters around liquidity events, control retention, and managerial fiduciary boundaries during the active search phase.
What changed: Registration statement on Form S-1 for a new blank check company (SPAC) IPO, seeking to raise $200 million (20 million units at $10.00 per unit) with no target selected yet. Initial filing of the S-1; no prior filing. The SPAC has not yet identified a business combination target and has not engaged in any substantive discussions with any target. Why it matters: Establishes a new SPAC with a management team that has prior SPAC experience (GSR II, GSR III, Graf). Trust will hold $200 million ($10.00 per share). Key terms: 18-month (sponsor may extend to 21 months) deadline to complete a business combination; sponsor paid $0.004 per founder share; underwriter is an affiliate of management, creating conflicts of interest (FINRA Rule 5121). No redemption deadlines yet, but IPO investors will have redemption rights upon completion of a deal or at liquidation. The filing provides full disclosure of sponsor compensation, dilution, and risk factors.
What changed: SEC Division of Corporation Finance comment letter on a draft Registration Statement on Form S-1 submitted June 20, 2025, regarding GSR IV Acquisition Corp. Attributed to the SEC Division of Corporation Finance in its July 17, 2025 correspondence, staff issued 17 requests to revise or clarify the draft S-1. Regarding redemption mechanics and trust value, staff ask the company to state whether redemptions face limitations, citing a disclosed '$5,000,001 net tangible asset requirement' and a 'redemption limitation for shareholders holding more than 15% of the shares sold,' while reconciling these against a stated lack of a maximum redemption threshold and a provision allowing up to '$100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses.' On trust-to-working-capital transfers, staff note disclosures permitting 'permitted withdrawals' that draw upon 'interest earned on the funds in your trust account for working capital requirements.' Concerning sponsor conduct and deal progress, staff query whether the sponsor holds substantial ties with a 'non-U.S. person,' flag a governance conflict where Director Mr. Silberman also serves on the board of Chain Bridge I—which has 'terminated its agreement with its prior business combination target'—and request risk disclosures on the sponsor’s unconditional right to transfer founder shares or remove itself before identifying a target, which could impede merger execution. Staff also request reconciliation of dilution exposures from loan conversions, promoter securities, and anti-dilution adjustments designed to maintain 'founder shares at 20%,' alongside clarification of voting arithmetic stating initial business combination approval requires '28.2% of the public shares,' a quorum exists when 'one-third of the outstanding shares are represented,' and only 'one public share' would be needed at a minimum quorum. Why it matters: As directed by SEC staff, these comments signal active regulatory scrutiny over redemption feasibility, sponsor fiduciary behavior, and dilution vectors before the March 5, 2027 termination deadline. Issuer responses may clarify whether shareholders confront implicit redemption caps, define the extent to which trust interest can subsidize corporate overhead, and expose whether director affiliations or sponsor withdrawal clauses threaten business combination continuity. The voting threshold and quorum clarifications directly dictate the capital structure math required to close a deal versus triggering liquidation and trust distribution. Disclosure of the federal excise tax exposure and confirmed monthly operating burn rate ('$55,556 per month') will enable investors to model net trust recovery amounts, assess the necessity of a trust extension, and evaluate sponsor alignment relative to public shareholder equity preservation. Additional substantive items addressed by staff include the Inflation Reduction Act stock buyback excise tax impact on redemption proceeds, an Administrative Services Agreement consuming '$350,000' outside trust, underwriter lock-up specifics, and exclusive forum provisions covering Securities Act claims.
What changed: Draft Registration Statement on Form S-1 (confidentially submitted) for a proposed initial public offering of a new blank check company (SPAC) — GSR IV Acquisition Corp. This is the initial confidential filing of a registration statement for a new SPAC IPO. No prior public filings exist for this entity. The document sets forth the proposed terms of the offering: 20,000,000 units at $10.00 per unit, each unit consisting of one Class A ordinary share and one-fourteenth of one right; trust per share of $10.00; 18-month (up to 21-month at sponsor discretion) deadline to complete a business combination; sponsor founder shares purchased for $0.004 per share; and sponsor private placement of 610,500 units at $10.00 per unit. Why it matters: Establishes the baseline terms for a new SPAC, including trust value ($10.00 per share), deadline (18-21 months from closing), redemption mechanics, sponsor economics (nominal cost for founder shares, potential for substantial profit), and conflicts of interest (management serves as underwriter). Investors can evaluate the structure and track record of the management team (Gus Garcia, Lewis Silberman, Anantha Ramamurti) who have prior SPAC experience with GSR II Meteora (Bitcoin Depot) and Graf Acquisition IV. No target has been identified.
