The target: Evernorth (XRP treasury)
from 425The business actually being bought — described from SEC primary filings, with projections labelled as projections.
Evernorth is a NEWLY FORMED XRP treasury vehicle with NO operating history and NO revenue: Evernorth Assets LLC was formed in Delaware on 18-Jul-2025 and PubCo Evernorth Holdings, Inc. on 29-Aug-2025 (sole pre-closing shareholder: Ripple Labs) solely to hold a strategic XRP reserve plus ecosystem-participation and yield activities - the S-4/A states plainly 'Neither Pubco nor the Company has any operating history or has produced any revenues' and 'Evernorth has not yet generated any revenue'. Pubco is pitched as the largest public XRP treasury company, expected to launch with at least 473,276,430 XRP at closing: 126.79M XRP contributed by Ripple Labs at signing, 211.32M XRP from Sponsor Arrington XRP Capital Fund LP (Michael Arrington; replaced original Armada Sponsor II LLC), 50M XRP from a Ripple related party, 84.37M XRP bought with $214.05M advance-funding cash at avg $2.5366/XRP, plus 0.8M XRP from advance/delayed-funding subscribers - over $1bn of private-placement commitments including SBI Holdings entities (capped at 39.9% ownership by an Aug-2026 amendment). THE STORY HAS ALREADY IMPAIRED: XRP fell from the $2.5366 signing price to $1.04119 by 30-Jun-2026 (-59%), so the same 473.3M XRP is worth ~$493M against the ~$1.2-1.4bn announced value; Evernorth's cumulative operating loss reached $265.6M by 30-Jun-2026 (net loss $188.1M in 1H2026 alone), driven mainly by digital-asset impairment under cost-less-impairment accounting, with $0.1M unrestricted cash, a $696.1M working-capital deficit (refundable investor advances are liabilities until closing) and $340.9M accumulated deficit.

Evernorth (XRP treasury) — every SPAC that has bid for it, and its listed peers
Expensive or cheap?
vs 5 listed peersA price only means something next to what the same kind of business costs on the stock market. This divides what the buyers are paying by what Evernorth (XRP treasury) actually sells, and sets the answer against its closest listed comparables — or says plainly when that cannot be done.
SpacBrain’s read on the price
No multiple can be computed
Evernorth (XRP treasury) has no meaningful revenue yet, so no multiple is computable — this is priced on a story, not on financials. The deal still values it at $1.44bn.
The company reports no meaningful sales yet, so there is nothing to divide the price by.
Post-dilution equity + target net debt.
No meaningful revenue in the most recent reported period.
Not computable — the filings show no meaningful revenue for the most recent reported period.
$1 of their sales costs $26.23 on the open market. Median of 5 listed companies we judged a true comparable, which individually run from 0.81× to 174.76×. Their share prices are from 15 August 2026, not today.
What qualifies the figures above
- Struck on the post-dilution value of $1.44bn, not the announced $1.4bn — new shares handed to the sponsor, warrant holders and the PIPE are part of what public buyers are really paying.
- CI, BUR, NAKA, IPO-VALY, VVPR have no revenue to divide by, so they are shown but left out of the peer median.
- The peer group does not agree with itself: its revenue multiples run from 0.81× to 174.76×. A median drawn across that spread is a weak benchmark, so treat the verdict as a rough bearing, not a measurement.
The 10 listed companies it is measured against, and why

Which companies count as comparable is our judgement, written out above so you can disagree with it. The median is what these shares happened to trade at on the date given — not a price anyone is offering for this deal.
Earnout — the contingent shares
Shares that only vest if targets are hit. They are excluded from the effective value above because they are not equity today — but they are dilution waiting on success.
No target-company earnout. Price protection only: Advance, Delayed and Series C subscribers receive Adjustment Shares = Initial Subscribed Shares x ((Closing Date XRP Token VWAP / Signing Date XRP Token VWAP) - 1); zero if the Closing Date VWAP is at or below the Signing Date VWAP. Separately the Sponsor forfeits 120,000 SPAC Class A Shares, 2,364,000 SPAC Class B Shares and 60,000 Private Placement Warrants at Closing.
Set against the actuals: the target is pre-revenue in its most recent reported period, so every earnout trigger sits above a base of roughly zero.
In plain English
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.
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.
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.
