The failure of the $1.5 billion financing led to the collapse of BSTR's shell listing, while American Bitcoin reduced its shares and increased its holdings by 500 BTC

According to BBX data, yesterday the global publicly listed companies in the U.S. stock market and the proposed listing of crypto giants faced severe differentiation in capital operations, with the core dynamics as follows:

• The plan for 30,000 BTC giant to go public has collapsed: Cantor Equity Partners I (NASDAQ: $CEPO) and Bitcoin Standard Treasury Company (BSTR) jointly announced through BusinessWire yesterday that they will no longer proceed with the transaction according to the original business combination agreement signed in July 2025. The core reason is that the $1.5 billion PIPE financing has completely failed to materialize. Against the backdrop of Bitcoin dropping about 50% from its historical high, investor interest in the new Bitcoin treasury company has significantly cooled. The shareholder meeting originally scheduled for July 10 has been indefinitely postponed. BSTR originally planned to carry 30,021 BTC to list on Nasdaq and become the world's fourth-largest publicly listed company holding Bitcoin, and this collapse means that its listing path needs to be redesigned.

• American Bitcoin Corp. completes 1-for-15 reverse stock split and increases holdings: American Bitcoin Corp. (NASDAQ: $ABTC) recently completed a 1-for-15 reverse stock split to meet Nasdaq's minimum stock price listing maintenance requirements. While consolidating shares to maintain its listing, the company announced that it purchased 500 BTC in the secondary market against the trend, increasing its total holdings to 8,000 BTC (fair value of approximately $496 million), ranking 16th globally among publicly listed companies in terms of Bitcoin holdings. The company is approximately 44% owned by Hut 8, and Eric Trump, the second son of Trump, serves as Chief Strategy Officer.
