Pubco previously disclosed the confidential submission of a prior draft registration statement on Form S-4 with the SEC in October 2025.

In addition, attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K (this "Report") and incorporated into this Item 8.01 by reference, is a presentation (the "Presentation") that may be used by Pubco and CEPO in connection with the Proposed Transactions (as defined below).

On July 16, 2025, and as reported on the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on July 17, 2025 with the SEC, Cantor Equity Partners I, Inc., a Cayman Islands exempt company ("CEPO"), Pubco, BSTR Holdings (Cayman), a Cayman Islands exempted company (the "Seller"), BSTR Newco, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Seller ("Newco"), and the other parties thereto, entered into a business combination agreement (the "Business Combination Agreement") with respect to a business combination among the parties (such business combination, the "Business Combination" and, together with the transactions contemplated under the Business Combination Agreement and private placements entered into by CEPO, Pubco and Newco with certain private placement investors (the "Private Placement Investments"), the "Proposed Transactions").

As disclosed in prior filings made with the SEC, all Bitcoin contributed by the Seller and certain private placement investors as part of the Proposed Transactions will be priced at Closing (such price, the "Closing Bitcoin Price"). The Closing Bitcoin Price is calculated as the average of the CME CF Bitcoin Reference Rate - New York Variant for the 10-day period ending two days prior to the Closing.

Additional information regarding the Proposed Transactions and Bitcoin Closing Price is available in the Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 22, 2025 and August 25, 2025.

The Presentation is intended to be furnished and shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing. This Report will not be deemed an admission as to the materiality of any of the information in this Item 8.01, including Exhibit 99.1.

***Additional Information and Where to Find It***

Pubco and Newco have confidentially submitted a Registration Statement on Form S-4 with the SEC (as may be amended, the "Registration Statement") and intend to file publicly with the SEC the Registration Statement, which will include a preliminary proxy statement of CEPO and a prospectus (the "Proxy Statement/Prospectus") in connection with the Proposed Transactions. The definitive proxy statement and other relevant documents will be mailed to shareholders of CEPO as of a record date to be established for voting on the Business Combination and other matters as will be described in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus. CEPO and/or Pubco will also file other documents regarding the Proposed Transactions with the SEC. This Report does not contain all of the information that should be considered concerning the Proposed Transactions and is not intended to form the basis of any investment decision or any other decision in respect of the Proposed Transactions. BEFORE MAKING ANY VOTING OR INVESTMENT DECISION, SHAREHOLDERS OF CEPO AND OTHER INTERESTED PARTIES ARE URGED TO READ, WHEN AVAILABLE, THE PRELIMINARY PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS, AND AMENDMENTS THERETO, AND THE DEFINITIVE PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS AND ALL OTHER RELEVANT DOCUMENTS FILED OR THAT WILL BE FILED WITH THE SEC IN CONNECTION WITH CEPO'S SOLICITATION OF PROXIES FOR THE EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING OF ITS SHAREHOLDERS TO BE HELD TO APPROVE THE PROPOSED TRANSACTIONS AND OTHER MATTERS AS DESCRIBED IN THE PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS BECAUSE THESE DOCUMENTS WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT CEPO, NEWCO, PUBCO AND THE PROPOSED TRANSACTIONS. Investors and security holders will also be able to obtain copies of the Registration Statement and the Proxy Statement/Prospectus and all other documents filed or that will be filed with the SEC by CEPO, Pubco and Newco, without charge, once available, on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov or by directing a request to: Cantor Equity Partners I, Inc., 110 East 59th Street, New York, NY 10022; e-mail: CantorEquityPartners@cantor.com, or upon written request to BSTR Holdings, Inc., via email at bstr@blockstreamcapitalpartners.com, respectively.

NEITHER THE SEC NOR ANY STATE SECURITIES REGULATORY AGENCY HAS APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED THE PROPOSED TRANSACTIONS DESCRIBED HEREIN, PASSED UPON THE MERITS OR FAIRNESS OF THE BUSINESS COMBINATION OR ANY RELATED PROPOSED TRANSACTIONS OR PASSED UPON THE ADEQUACY OR ACCURACY OF THE DISCLOSURE IN THIS REPORT. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY CONSTITUTES A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.

The convertible notes and shares of preferred stock to be issued by Pubco, the Class A ordinary shares to be issued by CEPO and the Class A interests to be issued by Newco, in each case, pursuant to the Private Placement Investments, as well as the non-voting units of Newco to be issued in exchange for the Class A interests of Newco at the closing of the Business Combination, pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

***Participants in the Solicitation***

CEPO, Pubco, Newco and their respective directors and executive officers may be deemed under SEC rules to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from CEPO's shareholders in connection with the Business Combination. A list of the names of such directors and executive officers, and information regarding their interests in the Business Combination and their ownership of CEPO's securities are, or will be, contained in CEPO's filings with the SEC, including CEPO's Annual Reports on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. Additional information regarding the interests of the persons who may, under SEC rules, be deemed participants in the solicitation of proxies of CEPO's shareholders in connection with the Proposed Transactions, including the names and interests of Newco and Pubco's directors and executive officers, will be set forth in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, which is expected to be filed by CEPO, Pubco and Newco with the SEC. Investors and security holders may obtain free copies of these documents as described in the preceding paragraph.

Forward-looking statements are predictions, projections and other statements about future events or conditions that are based on current expectations and assumptions and, as a result, are subject to risks and uncertainties. Many factors could cause actual future events to differ materially from the forward-looking statements in this Report, including, but not limited to: the risk that the Proposed Transactions may not be completed in a timely manner or at all, which may adversely affect the price of CEPO's securities; the risk that the Business Combination may not be completed by CEPO's business combination deadline; the failure by the parties to the Business Combination to satisfy the conditions to the consummation of the Business Combination, including the approval of CEPO's shareholders, or any of the Private Placement Investments; failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the Proposed Transactions; the level of redemptions of CEPO's public shareholders which may reduce the public float of, reduce the liquidity of the trading market of, and/or maintain the quotation, listing, or trading of the Class A ordinary shares of CEPO or the Class A stock of Pubco ("Pubco Class A Stock"); the lack of a third-party fairness opinion in determining whether or not to pursue the Business Combination; the failure of Pubco to obtain or maintain the listing of its securities any stock exchange on which Pubco Class A Stock will be listed after closing of the Business Combination; costs related to the Proposed Transactions and as a result of becoming a public company; changes in business, market, financial, political and regulatory conditions; risks relating to Pubco's anticipated operations and business, including the highly volatile nature of the price of Bitcoin; the risk that Pubco's stock price will be highly correlated to the price of Bitcoin and the price of Bitcoin may decrease at any time after the closing of the Proposed Transactions; risks related to increased competition in the industries in which Pubco will operate; risks relating to significant legal, commercial, regulatory and technical uncertainty regarding Bitcoin; risks relating to the treatment of crypto assets for U.S. and foreign tax purposes; risks that after consummation of the Business Combination, Pubco experiences difficulties managing its growth and expanding operations; challenges in implementing Pubco's business plan, including Bitcoin-related advisory services and other Bitcoin-related services, due to operational challenges, significant competition and regulation; being considered to be a "shell company" by any stock exchange on which Pubco Class A Stock will be listed or by the SEC, which may impact the ability to list Pubco Class A Stock and restrict reliance on certain rules or forms in connection with the offering, sale or resale of securities; the outcome of any potential legal proceedings that may be instituted against CEPO, Pubco, Newco or others following announcement of the Business Combination; and those risk factors discussed in documents of CEPO, Pubco or Newco filed, or to be filed, with the SEC.

The foregoing list of risk factors is not exhaustive. You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties described in the "Risk Factors" section of the final prospectus of CEPO dated as of January 6, 2025 and filed by CEPO with the SEC on January 7, 2025, CEPO's Annual Reports on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q on file, and to be filed, with the SEC and the Proxy Statement/Prospectus that will be filed by Pubco and Newco, and other documents filed by CEPO, Pubco and Newco from time to time with the SEC. These filings do or will identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that none of CEPO, Pubco and Newco presently know or that none of CEPO, Pubco and Newco currently believe are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements, and none of CEPO, Pubco and Newco assume any obligation or intend to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. None of CEPO, Pubco and Newco give any assurance that any of CEPO, Pubco or Newco will achieve its expectations.

BSTR Holdings, Inc. \| Investor Presentation 04 Appendix: Risk Factors

![](ea027843201_ex99-1img28.jpg)

BSTR Holdings, Inc. \| Investor Presentation \| Risk Factors Risk Factors Certain factors may have a material adverse effect on the business , financial condition and results of operations of BSTR Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Pubco"), BSTR Newco , LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "Company" or "BSTR") and/ or Cantor Equity Partners I, Inc. ("CEPO" and, together with Pubco and the Company, the " Parties ") and any investment in the convertible notes (the "Notes") to be issued by Pubco (the "Convertible Notes Private Placement "), any investment in the shares of convertible preferred stock (the "Convertible Preferred Stock") that may be issued by Pubco (the "Convertible Preferred Stock Private Placement "), any investment in the private placement of ordinary shares by CEPO, which ordinary shares will be purchased in cash or Bitcoin (the " Equity Private Placement "), and/ or any investment in the membership interests to be issued by Newco (the " Newco Private Placement ", together with the Equity Private Placement , Convertible Notes Private Placement and the Convertible Preferred Stock Private Placement , the " Private Placements "). The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones that the Parties face . Additional risks that the Parties are unaware of , or that the Parties currently believe are not material, may also become important factors that materially adversely affect any of the Parties . If any of the following risks actually occur , the business , financial condition , results of operations , and future prospects of the Parties could be materially and adversely affected . In that event , the trading price of Pubco's Class A common stock ("Pubco Class A Common Stock") following the proposed business combination among the Parties (the "Business Combination ") could decline, and investors could lose all or part of their investment . The following list of risk factors is not exhaustive. You should carefully consider the following factors and the other risks and uncertainties described in the " Risk Factors " section of the final prospectus of CEPO dated as of January 6, 2025 and filed by CEPO with the SEC on January 7, 2025, CEPO's Annual Reports on Form 10 - K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10 - Q on file, and to be filed , with the SEC and the registration statement on Form S - 4 and proxy statement / prospectus that will be filed by Pubco and the Company, and other documents filed by CEPO and Pubco from time to time with the SEC, including any registration statement filed by Pubco with respect to the Notes and / or the Convertible Preferred Stock. Risks Related to the Business and Bitcoin Strategy of Pubco ● Pubco's principal asset will be Bitcoin. Bitcoin is a highly volatile asset , and Pubco's operating results may significantly fluctuate , including due to the highly volatile nature of the price of Bitcoin and erratic market movements . ● Pubco has no operating history and has not yet produced any revenues , which make it difficult to evaluate Pubco's business and future prospects , and Pubco may not be able to achieve or maintain profitability in any given period . ● A significant decrease in the market value of Pubco's Bitcoin holdings could adversely affect Pubco's ability to satisfy its financial obligations . ● Pubco will operate in a highly competitive environment and will compete against companies , asset managers and other entities with similar strategies , including companies and other investors with significant Bitcoin holdings and ETFs and ETPs for Bitcoin and other digital assets , and Pubco's business , operating results , and financial condition may be adversely affected if Pubco is unable to compete effectively . ● The emergence or growth of other digital assets , including those with significant private or public sector backing , including by governments , consortiums or financial institutions , could have a negative impact on the price of Bitcoin and adversely affect Pubco's business . ● Pubco's Bitcoin holdings will be less liquid than its cash and cash equivalents and may not be able to serve as a source of liquidity for Pubco. ● Pubco will face risks relating to the custody of its Bitcoin, including the loss or destruction of private keys required to access our Bitcoin and cyberattacks or other data loss relating to our Bitcoin. If Pubco or its third - party service providers , including its custodians , experience a security breach or cyberattack and unauthorized parties obtain access to Pubco's Bitcoin, or if Pubco's private keys are lost or destroyed , or other similar circumstances or events occur , including the ability to reverse engineer private keys , Pubco may lose some or all of its Bitcoin and Pubco's financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected . ● Pubco's Bitcoin acquisition strategy exposes Pubco to to various risks associated with Bitcoin. ● Bitcoin and other digital assets are relatively novel assets , which will expose Pubco to significant legal, commercial , regulatory and technical uncertainty , which could adversely affect Pubco's financial position, operations and prospects . ● The regulatory environment for digital assets in the United States and globally remains highly uncertain and is evolving rapidly . U.S . policymakers are only beginning to define a comprehensive regulatory framework for digital assets . As a result , Pubco may face challenges in adapting to proposed or newly enacted laws and regulations , which could materially and adversely affect its business , financial condition and operations . ● Bitcoin's status as a product that may be offered and sold as a " security " in any relevant jurisdiction , as well as the status of Bitcoin - related products , and services in general, is subject to uncertainty , and if Pubco is unable to properly characterize such product or service offering , Pubco may be subject to regulatory scrutiny , inquiries , investigations , fines and other penalties , which may adversely affect Pubco's business , operating results and financial condition . ● Regulatory changes classifying Bitcoin as a " security " could lead to Pubco's classification as an " investment company " under the Investment Company Act of 1940, and would subject Pubco to additional regulation and could materially impact the operation of Pubco' business . ● Pubco will not be subject to the same legal and regulatory obligations , including certain compliance and reporting obligations intended to protect investors , that apply to investment companies such as mutual funds and exchange - traded funds , or to obligations applicable to investment advisers . ● Due to the unregulated nature and lack of transparency surrounding the operations of many Bitcoin trading venues , Bitcoin trading venues may experience greater fraud , security failures or regulatory or operational problems than trading venues for more established asset classes , which may result in a loss of confidence in Bitcoin trading venues and adversely affect the value of Pubco's Bitcoin holdings. ● Bitcoin is created and transmitted through the operations of the peer - to - peer Bitcoin network , a decentralized network of computers running software following the Bitcoin protocol .

BSTR Holdings, Inc. \| Investor Presentation \| Risk Factors Risk Factors (cont'd) Risks Related to the Business and Bitcoin Strategy of Pubco (Cont'd) ● Pubco may be subject to material litigation, including individual and class action lawsuits, as well as investigations and en for cement actions by regulators and governmental authorities. These matters are often expensive and time consuming, and, if resolved adversely, could harm Pubco's business, financial condition, and operating results. ● Although Pubco will have relevant due diligence procedures at Closing regarding anti - money laundering ("AML") and know - your - cust omer ("KYC"), these procedures may fail to prevent illegal transactions, which could subject Pubco to criminal and civil liabilities and impact the value of the shares of Pubco Class A Stock. ● Pubco's mission and operations may include offering public - market investors a differentiated, capital - efficient way to gain expo sure to Bitcoin through (i) large - scale, programmatic accumulation of Bitcoin; (ii) active treasury management intended to compound Bitcoin per share over time and (iii) development and provision of services relating to Bitcoin - focused fin ancial and technology infrastructure that we believe will expand the Bitcoin capital - markets opportunity set. Pubco has not previously engaged in these, or similar, businesses and operations, and growing these operations could be diffi cul t for us, including, without limitation, due to operational challenges and significant competition. Risks Related to Being a Public Company ● The market price of Pubco Class A Common Stock may be volatile and decline materially as a result of volatility in Bitcoin or th e digital asset markets generally, or for other reasons. Investors should be aware that they may lose some or all of their investment. ● A substantial part of Pubco's assets following the Business Combination will be its Bitcoin holdings and cash and cash equiva len ts from the proceeds of the Business Combination and the Private Placements not invested in Bitcoin. Although Pubco is expected to have certain other operations, Pubco will depend on such retained cash and cash equivalents to pay its debts and other obligations. ● If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about Pubco's business or the Business Combination or p ubl ish negative reports, the market price of Pubco Class A Common Stock could decline. ● Pubco's ability to timely raise capital in the future may be limited, or may be unavailable on favorable terms, if at all. Pu bco 's failure to raise capital when needed could harm its business, operating results and financial condition. ● The issuance of additional shares and/or convertible securities by Pubco could make it difficult for another company to acqui re Pubco, may dilute the ownership of Pubco stockholders and could adversely affect the price of Pubco Class A Common Stock. ● Future resales of Pubco Class A Common Stock after the consummation of the Business Combination may cause the market price of Pu bco's securities to drop significantly, even if Pubco's business is doing well. ● Pubco will incur higher costs post - Business Combination as a result of being a public company, including additional legal, accou nting, insurance and other expenses, as well as costs associated with public company reporting requirements. ● Pubco's management team is expected to have limited experience managing and operating a U.S. public company. ● Pubco's failure to timely and effectively implement controls and procedures required by Section 404(a) of the Sarbanes - Oxley Act that will be applicable to it following consummation of the Business Combination could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and prospects. ● Pubco will be an "emerging growth company." The reduced public company reporting requirements applicable to emerging growth c omp anies may make Pubco Class A Common Stock less attractive to investors. 29

BSTR Holdings, Inc. \| Investor Presentation \| Risk Factors Risk Factors (cont'd) Risks Related to the Business Combination ● The market price of Pubco Class A Common Stock after the Business Combination will be affected by factors different from those currently affecting the prices of Class A ordinary shares of CEPO ("CEPO Class A Ordinary Shares"). ● The consummation of the Business Combination is subject to a number of conditions and if those conditions are not satisfied or waived , the Business Combination Agreement among the Parties (the "Business Combination Agreement ") may be terminated in accordance with its terms and the Business Combination may not be completed . ● The Business Combination Agreement contains provisions that limit CEPO from seeking an alternative business combination . If the Business Combination is not completed , those restrictions may make it harder for CEPO to complete an alternate business combination before the end of the Combination Period . ● Neither CEPO nor its shareholders will have the protection of any indemnification , escrow , price adjustment or other provisions that allow for a post - closing adjustment to be made to the total merger consideration in the event that any of the representations and warranties in the Business Combination Agreement made by Pubco or any other party thereto ultimately proves to be inaccurate or incorrect . ● The value of the CEPO Founder Shares following completion of the Business Combination is likely to be substantially higher than the nominal price paid for them , even if the trading price of shares of Pubco Class A Stock at such time is substantially less than $10.00 per share, which may create an economic incentive for the CEPO management team to pursue and consummate the Business Combination which differs from the Public Shareholders . ● Neither the board of directors of CEPO (the "CEPO Board ") nor any committee thereof obtained a fairness opinion (or any similar report or appraisal) in determining whether or not to pursue the Business Combination . Consequently , CEPO shareholders have no assurance from an independent source that the price CEPO is paying in the Business Combination is fair to CEPO — and, by extension , its securityholders — from a financial point of view . ● CEPO's directors & officers will have discretion on whether to agree to changes or waivers in the terms of the Business Combination & their interests may conflict with those of CEPO's shareholders ● CEPO has engaged Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. (" CF&Co ."), who is an affiliate of the Sponsor, to act as an advisor in connection with the Business Combination and CEPO and Pubco have engaged CF&Co . as placement agent in connection with the Private Placements . The Sponsor may therefore have additional financial interests in the completion of the Business Combination . ● Members of CEPO's management team and the CEPO Board have significant experience as founders , board members , officers , executives or employees of other companies . Certain of those persons , as well as CEPO's affiliates , have been , may be, or may become , involved in litigation , investigations or other proceedings , including related to those companies or otherwise . The defense or prosecution of these matters could be time - consuming and could divert CEPO management's attention , and may have an adverse effect on CEPO, which may impede CEPO's ability to consummate the Business Combination . ● Changes in laws or regulations (including the adoption of policies by governing administrations), or a failure to comply with any laws and regulations , may adversely affect CEPO's business , including CEPO's ability to negotiate and complete the Business Combination . ● If the Business Combination is not approved and CEPO does not consummate another initial business combination by its deadline , then the Sponsor's ordinary shares of CEPO will become worthless and the expenses it has incurred will not be reimbursed . These interests may have influenced the Sponsor's decision to approve the Business Combination . ● The ability of public shareholders of CEPO to exercise redemption rights with respect to a large number of CEPO's public shares may reduce the public " float " of CEPO Class A Ordinary Shares, reduce the liquidity of the trading market for the CEPO Class A Ordinary Shares on Nasdaq, or make it difficult to obtain or maintain the quotation , listing or trading of shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock on Nasdaq, and consequently may not allow the parties to complete the Business Combination , or optimize Pubco's capital structure following the Business Combination . Risks Related to Ownership of Pubco Class A Common Stock Following the Business Combination ● Securities of companies formed through mergers with special purpose acquisition companies such as Pubco may be more volatile than other securities and may experience a material decline in price relative to the share price of the special purpose acquisition companies prior to the merger . ● Volatility in Pubco's share price could subject Pubco to securities class action litigation . ● Currently , there is no public market for the shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock. Investors cannot be sure about whether an active trading market in Pubco Class A Common Stock will develop , what the market price of shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock would be or whether Pubco will successfully obtain authorization for listing on Nasdaq or any other national securities exchange . ● Pubco may or may not pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. ● The Seller , through its voting control of Pubco, is in a position to control actions that require shareholder approval and may make decisions that are adverse to other shareholders . ● Pubco expects to qualify as a controlled company under applicable stock exchange rules and expects to avail itself of applicable exemptions from the corporate governance requirements thereof . ● Holders of Pubco Class A Common Stock have no voting rights . As a result , holders of Pubco Class A Common Stock will not have any ability to influence stockholder decisions . ● The Seller whose interests may conflict with yours , can individually exercise significant influence over Pubco. You will have no voting rights of Pubco Class A Stock except as required by the DGCL and the concentrated ownership of Pubco Stock may prevent you and other shareholders from influencing significant decisions in the very limited circumstances in which the DGCL will give you the right to vote and may prevent or discourage unsolicited acquisition proposals or offers for Pubco Stock, and that may adversely affect the trading price of Pubco Class A Stock. 30
