Use of Estimates Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements, in conformity with GAAP, requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including, but not limited to, those related to liability measured at fair value using the fair value option, and determination of the fair value of its digital assets pursuant to its principal market.
The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets, liabilities, and equity that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results and outcomes could differ from these estimates and assumptions.

Segment Reporting Segment Reporting
The Company has determined that it operates in a single operating and reportable segment. The Chief Executive Officer serves as the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), responsible for evaluating performance and allocating resources. For the period presented, the Company’s activities were limited to initial formation and preparatory steps related to the Proposed Business Combination.
Net loss incurred during the period totaled $152,717,402, primarily consisted of professional service fees, digital asset impairment, change in fair value of refundable investor advances, and other start-up costs. The CODM assesses segment performance based on net loss, which is the measure of segment profit or loss reported in the consolidated statement of operations. Segment expense information provided to the CODM is based on the expense categories presented in the consolidated financial statements. The measure of segment assets are the total assets as reported on the consolidated balance sheets.

The CODM assesses segment performance based on net loss, which is the measure of segment profit or loss reported in the consolidated statement of operations. Segment expense information provided to the CODM is based on the expense categories presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements. The measure of segment assets are the total assets as reported on the consolidated balance sheets.
Deferred Offering Costs Deferred Offering Costs
The Company defers certain legal, professional, accounting and other third-party fees that are directly associated with proposed offerings of securities, including the Proposed Business Combination, as deferred offering costs until such financings are consummated. After consummation of the financing, these costs are recorded as a reduction of the proceeds received from the equity financing. If a planned equity financing is abandoned, the deferred offering costs are expensed immediately as a charge to operating expenses in the consolidated statement of operations.

Digital Assets
Digital Assets
The Company accounts for its digital assets, which consist solely of XRP, as indefinite lived intangible assets in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other. Digital assets are initially recorded at cost and are subsequently measured at cost, net of accumulated impairment losses.
The Company determines the fair value of its XRP on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, using quoted prices from Coinbase, its principal market for XRP (Level 1 inputs). Each quarter, the Company evaluates whether events or changes in circumstances, primarily declines in quoted prices on the active market, indicate that it is more likely than not that the digital assets are impaired. In assessing impairment, the Company considers the lowest observable intraday price for one XRP on the principal market at any time since acquisition of the specific XRP held. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying value of an XRP exceeds this lowest observable intraday price, in an amount equal to the difference.
Impairment losses are recognized in the period incurred and recorded within “Digital asset impairment” in the Company’s statements of operations. Following impairment, the digital assets are written down to fair value, which becomes the new cost basis and is not subsequently adjusted for increases in fair value. Gains on disposition, if any,
are calculated as the excess of the sale price over the carrying value of the XRP sold (which reflects any previously recognized impairment losses) and are recognized in the statement of operations at the time of sale.
The Company determines the cost basis of XRP dispositions using specific identification, consistent with the ordering provisions of its operating agreement. Under these provisions, dispositions are made first from non-contributed XRP and thereafter from contributed XRP on a pro rata basis among contributed lots. Gains and losses are determined based on the carrying value of the XRP lots (which reflects any previously recognized impairment losses) disposed. The Company’s disposition strategy may also consider U.S. federal income tax implications; however, the accounting recognition of gains and losses is based on the carrying value of the XRP lots disposed.
Upon consummation of the Proposed Business Combination, the Company will be related parties to Ripple and will no longer be wholly-owned subsidiaries of or controlled by Ripple. Management reassessed the applicability of ASU 2023-08, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Crypto Assets (Subtopic 350-60), and determined that the XRP holdings will not meet the scoping criteria of ASC 350-60-15-1f. As such, the XRP holdings are excluded from the scope of ASC 350-60 and will continue to be accounted for as indefinite-lived intangible assets, measured at historical cost less accumulated impairment.
