Description of Organization, Business Operations and Basis of Presentation	Note 1—Description of Organization, Business Operations and Basis of Presentation Cantor Equity Partners, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated on November 11, 2020 as a Cayman Islands exempted company for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”). Although the Company is not limited in its search for target businesses to a particular industry or sector for the purpose of consummating the Business Combination, the Company intends to focus its search on companies operating in the financial services, healthcare, real estate services, technology and software industries. The Company is an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies. As of June 30, 2025, the Company had not commenced operations. All activity through June 30, 2025 relates to the Company’s formation, the initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”) described below, and the Company’s efforts toward locating and completing a suitable Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of the Business Combination, at the earliest. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company used the net proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement (as defined below) to generate non-operating income in the form of interest income from direct investments in U.S. government debt securities. The Company’s sponsor is Cantor EP Holdings, LLC (the “Sponsor”). The registration statement for the Initial Public Offering was declared effective on August 12, 2024. On August 14, 2024, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 10,000,000 Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A ordinary shares” and such Class A ordinary shares issued in the Initial Public Offering, the “Public Shares”) at a purchase price of $10.00 per Public Share, generating gross proceeds of $100,000,000, as described in Note 3. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 300,000 Class A ordinary shares (the “Private Placement Shares”) to the Sponsor at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Share in a private placement (the “Private Placement”), generating gross proceeds of $3,000,000, as described in Note 4. The net proceeds of the Private Placement were deposited into the Trust Account (as defined below) and will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares subject to the requirements of applicable law (see Note 4). Offering costs amounted to approximately $2,400,000, consisting of $2,100,000 of underwriting fees and approximately $300,000 of other costs. Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement on August 14, 2024, an amount of $100,000,000 ($10.00 per Public Share) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Public Shares and the Private Placement Shares (see Note 4) was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) located in the United States with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (“Continental”) acting as trustee. The funds in the Trust Account were initially held in an account at J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. and on August 15, 2024, were transferred to an account at CF Secured, LLC (“CF Secured”), an affiliate of the Sponsor. The Trust Account may be invested only in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), with a maturity of 185 days or less or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund selected by the Company meeting the conditions of paragraphs (d)(2), (d)(3) and (d)(4) of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, or held as cash or cash items (including in demand deposit accounts) at a bank, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of the Business Combination or (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account, as described below. Business Combination – The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating the Business Combination. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete the Business Combination successfully. The Company must complete one or more Business Combinations having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (excluding taxes payable on income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the agreement to enter into the Business Combination. However, the Company will only complete the Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. The Company will provide the holders of the Public Shares (the “Public Shareholders”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of the Business Combination either (i) in connection with a shareholders meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of the Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The Public Shareholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (which was initially $10.15 per Public Share, inclusive of $0.15 per redeemed share to be funded pursuant to the Sponsor Note (as defined below) in the applicable Redemption Event (as defined below)). The Public Shares are recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”). In such case, the Company will proceed with the Business Combination if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 either immediately prior to or upon such consummation of the Business Combination and a majority of the shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. If a shareholder vote is not required by law and the Company does not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (as may be amended, the “Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles”), conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing the Business Combination. If, however, shareholder approval of the Business Combination is required by law, or the Company decides to obtain shareholder approval for business or legal reasons, the Company will offer to redeem shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules. Additionally, each Public Shareholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the Business Combination, or if they vote at all. If the Company seeks shareholder approval in connection with the Business Combination, the Sponsor and the Company’s directors and officers have agreed to vote their Founder Shares (as defined in Note 4), their Private Placement Shares and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of the Business Combination (except that any Public Shares such parties may purchase in compliance with the requirements of Rule 14e-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), would not be voted in favor of approving the Business Combination). In addition, the Sponsor and the Company’s directors and officers have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares, Private Placement Shares and any Public Shares held by them in connection with the completion of the Business Combination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles provides that a Public Shareholder, together with any affiliate of such shareholder or any other person with whom such shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 25% or more of the Public Shares, without the prior consent of the Company. The Sponsor and the Company’s officers and directors have agreed not to propose an amendment to the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles (i) that would affect the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with the Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the Public Shares if the Company does not complete the Business Combination or (ii) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-business combination activity, unless the Company provides the Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares in conjunction with any such amendment. Business Combination Agreement — On April 22, 2025, the Company entered into a business combination agreement (as it may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”) by and among (i) the Company, (ii) Twenty One Capital, Inc., a Texas corporation (“Pubco”), (iii) Twenty One Assets, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Twenty One”), (iv) Twenty One Merger Sub D, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“SPAC Merger Sub”), (v) Tether Investments, S.A. de C.V., an El Salvador Sociedad anónima de capital variable (“Tether”), (vi) iFinex, Inc., a British Virgin Islands company (“Bitfinex”), and (vii) with respect to certain sections specified in the Business Combination Agreement, Stellar Beacon LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“SoftBank”). Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, (a) the Company will merge with and into SPAC Merger Sub, with SPAC Merger Sub continuing as the surviving entity (the “SPAC Merger”) and Company shareholders receiving one share of Pubco Class A common stock for each Class A ordinary share held by such shareholder; and (b) Twenty One will merge with and into CEP Merger Sub C, Inc., a Delaware corporation and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Twenty One Merger Sub”), with Twenty One Merger Sub continuing as the surviving company (the “Twenty One Merger” and, together with the SPAC Merger, the “Mergers”) and with the members of Twenty One receiving shares of Pubco common stock in exchange for their membership interests in Twenty One. As a result of the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (the “Transactions”), SPAC Merger Sub and Twenty One Merger Sub will become wholly-owned subsidiaries of Pubco and Pubco will become a publicly traded company, all upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement. Contemporaneously with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, the Company and Pubco entered into (i) subscription agreements (the “Convertible Note Subscription Agreements”) with certain investors (the “Convertible Note Investors”), pursuant to which the Convertible Note Investors agreed to acquire, in a private placement, 1.00% convertible senior secured notes of Pubco (the “Convertible Notes”) in an aggregate principal amount of $340,200,000 (the “Subscription Notes”), which number excludes the option (the “Option”) granted to the Convertible Note Investors to purchase additional Convertible Notes up to an aggregate principal amount of $100,000,000 included in the Convertible Note Subscription Agreements, which Option was exercised in full by certain of the Convertible Note Investors and the Sponsor on May 22, 2025 (the Convertible Notes to be issued pursuant to the Option, the “Option Notes” and the purchase and sale of the Subscription Notes and Option Notes, the “Convertible Notes PIPE”), (ii) subscription agreements (the “April Equity PIPE Subscription Agreements”) with certain investors (the “April Equity PIPE Investors”), pursuant to which April Equity PIPE Investors agreed to purchase, in a private placement, 20,000,000 Class A ordinary shares, for an aggregate purchase price of $200,000,000 ($10.00 per share), payable in either cash or Bitcoin (the “April Equity PIPE”), (iii) that certain sponsor support agreement with the Sponsor, as amended by the Sponsor Support Agreement Amendment (as defined below), the “Sponsor Support Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other matters, Pubco and the Sponsor agreed to enter into a Securities Exchange Agreement at the closing of the Transactions (the “Closing”), pursuant to which the Sponsor will exchange a number of its shares of Class A common stock of Pubco, par value $0.01 per share (“Pubco Class A Stock”), in exchange for Convertible Notes (such exchanged Convertible Notes, the “Exchange Notes”) and (iv) the PIPE Engagement Letter (as defined in Note 4) with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. (“CF&Co.”), pursuant to which, among other matters, CF&Co. may be entitled to receive Convertible Notes on the terms set forth therein (the “Engagement Letter Notes”). In connection with the exercise of the Option, on May 22, 2025, the Sponsor entered into the Sponsor Convertible Note Subscription Agreement (as defined in Note 4) on substantially the same terms as the Convertible Note Subscription Agreements with respect to its pro rata allotment of the Option Notes. On June 19, 2025, the Company and Pubco entered into subscription agreements (the “June Equity PIPE Subscription Agreements”) with certain investors (the “June Equity PIPE Investors”), pursuant to which the June Equity PIPE Investors agreed to purchase, in a private placement, 7,857,143 Class A ordinary shares for an aggregate purchase price of $165,000,000 ($21.00 per share), payable in either cash or Bitcoin (the “June Equity PIPE” and, together with the April Equity PIPE and the Convertible Notes PIPE, the “PIPE Investments”). On June 25, 2025, the Company, Pubco and the Sponsor entered into Amendment No. 1 to Sponsor Support Agreement (the “Sponsor Support Agreement Amendment”), which amends the Sponsor Support Agreement. Pursuant to the Sponsor Support Agreement Amendment, the Sponsor has agreed that it may, subject to the conditions specified therein, forfeit a number of Class A ordinary shares it receives upon conversion of its Class B ordinary shares of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class B ordinary shares”), pursuant to the anti-dilution provisions of the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association pursuant to the formula set forth therein. In addition, the form of Securities Exchange Agreement to be entered into by the Sponsor and Pubco immediately after the Closing has been amended and restated in the form attached to the Sponsor Support Agreement Amendment to modify the formula used to determine the number of shares of Pubco Class A Stock that the Sponsor will exchange for Exchange Notes. Certain existing agreements of the Company will be amended or amended and restated in connection with the Transactions. For more information regarding the 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 April 23, 2025, April 28, 2025, May 29, 2025, June 20, 2025 and June 27, 2025 and the other filings the Company and Pubco may make from time to time with the SEC. Failure to Consummate the Business Combination — The Company has until August 14, 2026, or until such earlier liquidation date as the Company’s board of directors may approve or such later date as the Company’s shareholders may approve pursuant to the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles (the “Combination Period”), to consummate the Business Combination. If the Company is unable to complete the Business Combination by the end of the Combination Period, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining shareholders and the Company’s board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject, in each case, to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. The Sponsor and the Company’s directors and officers have agreed to waive their liquidation rights from the Trust Account with respect to the Founder Shares and the Private Placement Shares held by them if the Company fails to complete the Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the Sponsor or any of the Company’s directors and officers acquire Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such Public Shares if the Company fails to complete the Business Combination within the Combination Period. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be less than $10.15 per share (inclusive of $0.15 per redeemed share to be funded pursuant to the Sponsor Note) initially held in the Trust Account. In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed to be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a vendor for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account below $10.15 per share. This liability will not apply with respect to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account or to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third party claims. The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers (except for the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm and the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering), prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account. *Liquidity and Capital Resources* As of both June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had $25,000 of cash in its operating account. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had a working capital deficit of approximately $1,152,000 and approximately $190,000, respectively. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, approximately $4,167,000 and approximately $1,976,000, respectively, of the amount earned on funds held in the Trust Account was available to pay taxes, if any. The Company’s liquidity needs through June 30, 2025 have been satisfied through a contribution of $25,000 from the Sponsor in exchange for the issuance of the Founder Shares, a loan of approximately $287,000 from the Sponsor pursuant to a promissory note (the “Pre-IPO Note”), the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Shares not held in the Trust Account and the Sponsor Loan (as defined below). The Company fully repaid the Pre-IPO Note upon completion of the Initial Public Offering. In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with the Business Combination, the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company up to $1,750,000 to fund the Company’s expenses relating to investigating and selecting a target business and other working capital requirements after the Initial Public Offering and prior to the Business Combination (the “Sponsor Loan”), of which approximately $646,000 and approximately $333,000 has been drawn by the Company as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. If the Sponsor Loan is insufficient, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, provide the Company with Working Capital Loans (as defined in Note 4). As of both June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company did not have any borrowings under the Working Capital Loans. Based on the foregoing, management believes that the Company will have sufficient working capital and borrowing capacity from the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors, to meet its needs through the earlier of the consummation of the Business Combination or one year from this filing. Over this time period, the Company will be using these funds for paying existing accounts payable, identifying and evaluating prospective target businesses, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for travel expenditures, selecting the target business to merge with or acquire, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Business Combination. *Basis of Presentation* The unaudited condensed financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC, and reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position as of June 30, 2025 and the results of operations, comprehensive income (loss) and cash flows for the periods presented. Certain information and disclosures normally included in unaudited condensed financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year or any future period. The unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed by the Company with the SEC on March 28, 2025. Certain reclassifications have been made to previously reported amounts to conform to the current presentation. *Emerging Growth Company* The Company is an “emerging growth company”, as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s unaudited condensed financial statements with another public company that is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company that has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Note 1—Description of Organization, Business Operations and Basis of Presentation

Cantor Equity Partners, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated on November 11, 2020 as a Cayman Islands exempted company for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”).

Although the Company is not limited in its search for target businesses to a particular industry or sector for the purpose of consummating the Business Combination, the Company intends to focus its search on companies operating in the financial services, healthcare, real estate services, technology and software industries. The Company is an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies.

As of June 30, 2025, the Company had not commenced operations. All activity through June 30, 2025 relates to the Company’s formation, the initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”) described below, and the Company’s efforts toward locating and completing a suitable Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of the Business Combination, at the earliest. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company used the net proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement (as defined below) to generate non-operating income in the form of interest income from direct investments in U.S. government debt securities.

The Company’s sponsor is Cantor EP Holdings, LLC (the “Sponsor”). The registration statement for the Initial Public Offering was declared effective on August 12, 2024. On August 14, 2024, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 10,000,000 Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A ordinary shares” and such Class A ordinary shares issued in the Initial Public Offering, the “Public Shares”) at a purchase price of $10.00 per Public Share, generating gross proceeds of $100,000,000, as described in Note 3.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 300,000 Class A ordinary shares (the “Private Placement Shares”) to the Sponsor at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Share in a private placement (the “Private Placement”), generating gross proceeds of $3,000,000, as described in Note 4.

The net proceeds of the Private Placement were deposited into the Trust Account (as defined below) and will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares subject to the requirements of applicable law (see Note 4).

Offering costs amounted to approximately $2,400,000, consisting of $2,100,000 of underwriting fees and approximately $300,000 of other costs.

Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement on August 14, 2024, an amount of $100,000,000 ($10.00 per Public Share) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Public Shares and the Private Placement Shares (see Note 4) was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) located in the United States with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (“Continental”) acting as trustee. The funds in the Trust Account were initially held in an account at J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. and on August 15, 2024, were transferred to an account at CF Secured, LLC (“CF Secured”), an affiliate of the Sponsor. The Trust Account may be invested only in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), with a maturity of 185 days or less or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund selected by the Company meeting the conditions of paragraphs (d)(2), (d)(3) and (d)(4) of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, or held as cash or cash items (including in demand deposit accounts) at a bank, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of the Business Combination or (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account, as described below.

Business Combination – The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating the Business Combination. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete the Business Combination successfully. The Company must complete one or more Business Combinations having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (excluding taxes payable on income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the agreement to enter into the Business Combination. However, the Company will only complete the Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act.

The Company will provide the holders of the Public Shares (the “Public Shareholders”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of the Business Combination either (i) in connection with a shareholders meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of the Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The Public Shareholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (which was initially $10.15 per Public Share, inclusive of $0.15 per redeemed share to be funded pursuant to the Sponsor Note (as defined below) in the applicable Redemption Event (as defined below)). The Public Shares are recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”). In such case, the Company will proceed with the Business Combination if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 either immediately prior to or upon such consummation of the Business Combination and a majority of the shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. If a shareholder vote is not required by law and the Company does not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (as may be amended, the “Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles”), conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing the Business Combination. If, however, shareholder approval of the Business Combination is required by law, or the Company decides to obtain shareholder approval for business or legal reasons, the Company will offer to redeem shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules. Additionally, each Public Shareholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the Business Combination, or if they vote at all. If the Company seeks shareholder approval in connection with the Business Combination, the Sponsor and the Company’s directors and officers have agreed to vote their Founder Shares (as defined in Note 4), their Private Placement Shares and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of the Business Combination (except that any Public Shares such parties may purchase in compliance with the requirements of Rule 14e-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), would not be voted in favor of approving the Business Combination). In addition, the Sponsor and the Company’s directors and officers have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares, Private Placement Shares and any Public Shares held by them in connection with the completion of the Business Combination.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles provides that a Public Shareholder, together with any affiliate of such shareholder or any other person with whom such shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 25% or more of the Public Shares, without the prior consent of the Company.

The Sponsor and the Company’s officers and directors have agreed not to propose an amendment to the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles (i) that would affect the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with the Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the Public Shares if the Company does not complete the Business Combination or (ii) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-business combination activity, unless the Company provides the Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares in conjunction with any such amendment.

Business Combination Agreement — On April 22, 2025, the Company entered into a business combination agreement (as it may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”) by and among (i) the Company, (ii) Twenty One Capital, Inc., a Texas corporation (“Pubco”), (iii) Twenty One Assets, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Twenty One”), (iv) Twenty One Merger Sub D, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“SPAC Merger Sub”), (v) Tether Investments, S.A. de C.V., an El Salvador Sociedad anónima de capital variable (“Tether”), (vi) iFinex, Inc., a British Virgin Islands company (“Bitfinex”), and (vii) with respect to certain sections specified in the Business Combination Agreement, Stellar Beacon LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“SoftBank”).

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, (a) the Company will merge with and into SPAC Merger Sub, with SPAC Merger Sub continuing as the surviving entity (the “SPAC Merger”) and Company shareholders receiving one share of Pubco Class A common stock for each Class A ordinary share held by such shareholder; and (b) Twenty One will merge with and into CEP Merger Sub C, Inc., a Delaware corporation and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Twenty One Merger Sub”), with Twenty One Merger Sub continuing as the surviving company (the “Twenty One Merger” and, together with the SPAC Merger, the “Mergers”) and with the members of Twenty One receiving shares of Pubco common stock in exchange for their membership interests in Twenty One. As a result of the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (the “Transactions”), SPAC Merger Sub and Twenty One Merger Sub will become wholly-owned subsidiaries of Pubco and Pubco will become a publicly traded company, all upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement.

Contemporaneously with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, the Company and Pubco entered into (i) subscription agreements (the “Convertible Note Subscription Agreements”) with certain investors (the “Convertible Note Investors”), pursuant to which the Convertible Note Investors agreed to acquire, in a private placement, 1.00% convertible senior secured notes of Pubco (the “Convertible Notes”) in an aggregate principal amount of $340,200,000 (the “Subscription Notes”), which number excludes the option (the “Option”) granted to the Convertible Note Investors to purchase additional Convertible Notes up to an aggregate principal amount of $100,000,000 included in the Convertible Note Subscription Agreements, which Option was exercised in full by certain of the Convertible Note Investors and the Sponsor on May 22, 2025 (the Convertible Notes to be issued pursuant to the Option, the “Option Notes” and the purchase and sale of the Subscription Notes and Option Notes, the “Convertible Notes PIPE”), (ii) subscription agreements (the “April Equity PIPE Subscription Agreements”) with certain investors (the “April Equity PIPE Investors”), pursuant to which April Equity PIPE Investors agreed to purchase, in a private placement, 20,000,000 Class A ordinary shares, for an aggregate purchase price of $200,000,000 ($10.00 per share), payable in either cash or Bitcoin (the “April Equity PIPE”), (iii) that certain sponsor support agreement with the Sponsor, as amended by the Sponsor Support Agreement Amendment (as defined below), the “Sponsor Support Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other matters, Pubco and the Sponsor agreed to enter into a Securities Exchange Agreement at the closing of the Transactions (the “Closing”), pursuant to which the Sponsor will exchange a number of its shares of Class A common stock of Pubco, par value $0.01 per share (“Pubco Class A Stock”), in exchange for Convertible Notes (such exchanged Convertible Notes, the “Exchange Notes”) and (iv) the PIPE Engagement Letter (as defined in Note 4) with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. (“CF&Co.”), pursuant to which, among other matters, CF&Co. may be entitled to receive Convertible Notes on the terms set forth therein (the “Engagement Letter Notes”). In connection with the exercise of the Option, on May 22, 2025, the Sponsor entered into the Sponsor Convertible Note Subscription Agreement (as defined in Note 4) on substantially the same terms as the Convertible Note Subscription Agreements with respect to its pro rata allotment of the Option Notes.

On June 19, 2025, the Company and Pubco entered into subscription agreements (the “June Equity PIPE Subscription Agreements”) with certain investors (the “June Equity PIPE Investors”), pursuant to which the June Equity PIPE Investors agreed to purchase, in a private placement, 7,857,143 Class A ordinary shares for an aggregate purchase price of $165,000,000 ($21.00 per share), payable in either cash or Bitcoin (the “June Equity PIPE” and, together with the April Equity PIPE and the Convertible Notes PIPE, the “PIPE Investments”).

On June 25, 2025, the Company, Pubco and the Sponsor entered into Amendment No. 1 to Sponsor Support Agreement (the “Sponsor Support Agreement Amendment”), which amends the Sponsor Support Agreement. Pursuant to the Sponsor Support Agreement Amendment, the Sponsor has agreed that it may, subject to the conditions specified therein, forfeit a number of Class A ordinary shares it receives upon conversion of its Class B ordinary shares of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class B ordinary shares”), pursuant to the anti-dilution provisions of the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association pursuant to the formula set forth therein. In addition, the form of Securities Exchange Agreement to be entered into by the Sponsor and Pubco immediately after the Closing has been amended and restated in the form attached to the Sponsor Support Agreement Amendment to modify the formula used to determine the number of shares of Pubco Class A Stock that the Sponsor will exchange for Exchange Notes.

Certain existing agreements of the Company will be amended or amended and restated in connection with the Transactions.

For more information regarding the 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 April 23, 2025, April 28, 2025, May 29, 2025, June 20, 2025 and June 27, 2025 and the other filings the Company and Pubco may make from time to time with the SEC.

Failure to Consummate the Business Combination — The Company has until August 14, 2026, or until such earlier liquidation date as the Company’s board of directors may approve or such later date as the Company’s shareholders may approve pursuant to the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles (the “Combination Period”), to consummate the Business Combination. If the Company is unable to complete the Business Combination by the end of the Combination Period, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining shareholders and the Company’s board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject, in each case, to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

The Sponsor and the Company’s directors and officers have agreed to waive their liquidation rights from the Trust Account with respect to the Founder Shares and the Private Placement Shares held by them if the Company fails to complete the Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the Sponsor or any of the Company’s directors and officers acquire Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such Public Shares if the Company fails to complete the Business Combination within the Combination Period. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be less than $10.15 per share (inclusive of $0.15 per redeemed share to be funded pursuant to the Sponsor Note) initially held in the Trust Account. In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed to be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a vendor for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account below $10.15 per share. This liability will not apply with respect to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account or to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third party claims. The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers (except for the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm and the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering), prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of both June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had $25,000 of cash in its operating account. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had a working capital deficit of approximately $1,152,000 and approximately $190,000, respectively. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, approximately $4,167,000 and approximately $1,976,000, respectively, of the amount earned on funds held in the Trust Account was available to pay taxes, if any.

The Company’s liquidity needs through June 30, 2025 have been satisfied through a contribution of $25,000 from the Sponsor in exchange for the issuance of the Founder Shares, a loan of approximately $287,000 from the Sponsor pursuant to a promissory note (the “Pre-IPO Note”), the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Shares not held in the Trust Account and the Sponsor Loan (as defined below). The Company fully repaid the Pre-IPO Note upon completion of the Initial Public Offering. In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with the Business Combination, the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company up to $1,750,000 to fund the Company’s expenses relating to investigating and selecting a target business and other working capital requirements after the Initial Public Offering and prior to the Business Combination (the “Sponsor Loan”), of which approximately $646,000 and approximately $333,000 has been drawn by the Company as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. If the Sponsor Loan is insufficient, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, provide the Company with Working Capital Loans (as defined in Note 4). As of both June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company did not have any borrowings under the Working Capital Loans.

Based on the foregoing, management believes that the Company will have sufficient working capital and borrowing capacity from the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors, to meet its needs through the earlier of the consummation of the Business Combination or one year from this filing. Over this time period, the Company will be using these funds for paying existing accounts payable, identifying and evaluating prospective target businesses, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for travel expenditures, selecting the target business to merge with or acquire, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Business Combination.

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited condensed financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC, and reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position as of June 30, 2025 and the results of operations, comprehensive income (loss) and cash flows for the periods presented. Certain information and disclosures normally included in unaudited condensed financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year or any future period. The unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed by the Company with the SEC on March 28, 2025. Certain reclassifications have been made to previously reported amounts to conform to the current presentation.

Emerging Growth Company

The Company is an “emerging growth company”, as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard.

This may make comparison of the Company’s unaudited condensed financial statements with another public company that is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company that has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.
