**Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure**

On July 17, 2025, Cantor Equity Partners I, Inc., a Cayman Islands exempt company ("CEPO"), and BSTR Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Pubco"), issued a press release announcing that they had entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the "Business Combination Agreement"), dated as of July 16, 2025, with BSTR Intermediate, a Cayman Islands exempted company ("CEPO Merger Sub"), 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"), PEMS Sub A, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of CEPO ("CEPO Subsidiary A"), PEMS Sub B, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of CEPO Subsidiary A ("CEPO Subsidiary B") and PEMS Merger Sub C, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of CEPO Subsidiary B ("**Newco Merger Sub**"). A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, (a) CEPO will merge with and into CEPO Merger Sub, with CEPO Merger Sub continuing as the surviving entity (the "CEPO Merger"), and with CEPO shareholders (i) holding Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of CEPO ("Class B ordinary shares"), receiving one Class A ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share, of CEPO (the "Class A ordinary shares") for each Class B ordinary share held by such shareholder immediately prior to the CEPO Merger, and (ii) receiving one share of Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Pubco ("Pubco Class A Stock") for each Class A ordinary share held by such shareholder at the time of the CEPO Merger, and (b) at least two (2) hours after the CEPO Merger, Newco Merger Sub will merge with and into Newco, with Newco continuing as the surviving company (the "**Newco Merger**", and together with the CEPO Merger, the "**Mergers**"), and with (i) the Seller receiving shares of Pubco Class A Stock and Class B common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Pubco in exchange for its membership interests in Newco (the "Newco Interests"), and (ii) the Bitcoin Equity PIPE Investors (as defined below) converting their Newco Interests into non-voting units of Newco (the "Newco Exchange Interests"), which Newco Exchange Interests shall be exchangeable for an equal number of shares of Pubco Class A common stock or at Pubco's election, the cash equivalent. As a result of the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (the "Business Combination"), CEPO Merger Sub will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Pubco, CEPO Subsidiary B will become the managing member of Newco, and Pubco will become a publicly traded company. Pursuant to a Contribution Agreement, dated July 16, 2025, between Newco and the Seller, the Seller has agreed to contribute to Newco 25,000 Bitcoin immediately prior to the closing of the Newco Merger.

Contemporaneously with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, (a) certain investors (the "Convertible Note Investors") have agreed to make a private investment in Pubco by purchasing convertible notes ("Convertible Notes") with an aggregate principal amount of $500 million (the "Initial Convertible Notes PIPE"), pursuant to subscription agreements for the Convertible Notes PIPE entered into with CEPO and Pubco (the "Convertible Notes Subscription Agreements"), (b) certain investors (the "Convertible Preferred Investors") have agreed to make a private investment in Pubco by purchasing shares of Pubco's 7.00% perpetual convertible preferred stock (the "Preferred Stock") in an aggregate principal amount of $30 million pursuant to a certificate of designations (the "Certificate of Designations"), for a purchase price of $85.00 per share, on the terms set forth in the Certificate of Designations (the "Preferred Stock PIPE"), (c) certain investors (the "CEPO Equity PIPE Investors") have agreed to make a private investment in CEPO by purchasing Class A ordinary shares in the aggregate amount of $400 million for $10.00 per share, payable in cash ("CEPO Equity PIPE"), pursuant to subscription agreements for the CEPO Equity PIPE entered into with CEPO and Pubco, and (d) certain investors (the "Bitcoin Equity PIPE Investors") have agreed to make a private investment in either CEPO or Newco by purchasing either Class A ordinary shares or Newco Interests in exchange for 5,021 Bitcoin in the aggregate (the "Bitcoin Equity PIPE"), pursuant to subscription agreements for the Bitcoin Equity PIPE entered into with CEPO, Pubco and, as applicable, Newco. The number of Class A ordinary shares or Newco Interests to be issued in exchange for Bitcoin will equal the U.S. dollar price of one Bitcoin as determined by the average of the CME CF Bitcoin Reference Rate - New York Variant for the ten-day period ending two calendar days prior to the Closing Date, multiplied by the number of Bitcoin contributed by such investor, and then divided by $10.00.

Pubco has also granted the Convertible Note Investors options to purchase (i) additional Convertible Notes in an aggregate principal amount of up to $125 million, exercisable within fifteen (15) days following the date of the Convertible Notes Subscription Agreements (the "First Option"), (ii) additional Convertible Notes in an aggregate principal amount of up to $125 million, exercisable within thirty (30) days following the date of the Convertible Notes Subscription Agreements (the "Second Option", and together with the First Option, the "Convertible Notes Option", and together with the Initial Convertible Notes PIPE, the "Convertible Notes PIPE"), and (iii) Preferred Stock in an aggregate amount of up to $320 million, exercisable within thirty (30) days following the date of the Convertible Notes Subscription Agreements (the "Preferred Stock Option", and together with the Convertible Notes PIPE, the CEPO Equity PIPE, the Bitcoin Equity PIPE and the Preferred Stock PIPE, the "PIPE Investments" and, together with the Business Combination, the "Proposed Transactions").

Simultaneously with the execution of the BCA, Pubco, CEPO and Cantor EP Holdings I, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "Sponsor"), also entered into a Sponsor Support Agreement pursuant to which the Sponsor, among other things, agreed to vote its Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares in favor of the adoption and approval of the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby.

The net proceeds from the PIPE Investments and any cash remaining in the trust account of CEPO will be used to purchase Bitcoin, pay transaction expenses and otherwise for working capital and general corporate purposes.

Attached as Exhibit 99.2 and incorporated into this Item 7.01 by reference herein is the investor presentation for the PIPE Investments, which investor presentation will be used by CEPO, Pubco and Newco with respect to the Proposed Transactions.

The information in this Item 7.01, including Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, is 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 liabilities under that section, and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into the filings of CEPO under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") or the Exchange Act, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filings. This Current Report on Form 8-K will not be deemed an admission as to the materiality of any of the information in this Item 7.01, including Exhibits 99.1 or 99.2.

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

Pubco and Newco intend to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") a Registration Statement on Form S-4 (as may be amended, 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 described in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus. CEPO and/or Pubco will also file other documents regarding the Proposed Transactions with the SEC. This Current Report on Form 8-K (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 and Pubco, 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 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 the Preferred Stock to be issued by Pubco, the Class A ordinary shares to be issued in the CEPO Equity PIPE by CEPO and the Newco Interests to be issued by Newco have not been registered under 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.

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. 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 Business Combination, 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 Pubco and Newco with the SEC. Investors and security holders may obtain free copies of these documents as described in the preceding paragraph.

No offer of securities shall be made except by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom. Investors should consult with their counsel as to the applicable requirements for a purchaser to avail itself of any exemption under the Securities Act.

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 or Newco presently know or that none of CEPO, Pubco or Newco currently believe are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements.

## Exhibit 99.1

**Exhibit 99.1** 

**Bitcoin Standard Treasury Company to go Public Through Business Combination with Cantor Equity Partners I, Inc.**

 

*BSTR to launch with **30,021 Bitcoin** on its balance sheet — which would be the 4th largest public Bitcoin treasury — and up to **$1.5 billion** of PIPE financing, the largest ever PIPE announced in conjunction with a Bitcoin Treasury SPAC merger, with the SPAC contributing up to an additional ~$200 million, subject to redemptions*

 

 

**July 17, 2025** — **BSTR, Holdings Inc.** ("**BSTR**" or the "**Company**") today announced it has entered into a definitive agreement for a business combination with **Cantor Equity Partners I, Inc.** ("**CEPO**") (Nasdaq: CEPO) (the "Business Combination"), a special-purpose acquisition company sponsored by an affiliate of Cantor Fitzgerald, a leading global financial services and real estate services holding company. Upon closing, the combined company is expected to trade under the ticker symbol "**BSTR**."

**Executive Leadership**

The Company will be led by Dr. Adam Back, Chief Executive Officer, and Sean Bill, Chief Investment Officer.

Dr. Adam Back is a pioneering cryptographer, inventor of Hashcash — the proof-of-work algorithm referenced in Satoshi Nakamoto's Bitcoin white paper — and co-founder of Blockstream, bringing decades of technical leadership to BSTR.

Sean Bill is an experienced financial technology and hedge fund investor who has been promoting Bitcoin's integration into institutional portfolios and, as CIO, spearheaded one of the first allocations to Bitcoin by a U.S. public pension fund.

Together, Dr. Adam Back's and Sean Bill's track records as innovators position BSTR as an emergent leader in the burgeoning Bitcoin treasury space, uniting traditional capital pools and the Bitcoin economy.

**Record-setting capital raise for a Bitcoin treasury SPAC merger underscores market appetite for visionary management team and strategy**

● **Up to $1.5 billion of fiat-denominated financing (the "PIPE Offerings")** 

○ **$400 million** of common equity committed at announcement, priced at $10.00 per share

○ **Up to $750 million** in convertible senior notes — $500 million committed at announcement, with investor options to subscribe for up to an additional $250 million, with a conversion price set at $13.00 per share

○ **Up to $350 million** in convertible preferred stock — $30 million committed at announcement, with investor options to subscribe for up to an additional $320 million, with a common stock equivalent conversion price set at $13.00 per share

● **5,021 Bitcoin in-kind PIPE** with commitments from long-time Bitcoin "OGs," the first PIPE funded entirely though in-kind contributions from the Bitcoin community, priced at $10.00 per share

● **25,000 Bitcoin** to be contributed by founding shareholders, advised by Blockstream Capital Partners (an investment manager led by Dr. Adam Back and other long-time Bitcoiners), priced at $10.00 per share

● **Up to ~$200 million** in contribution from CEPO, subject to CEPO shareholder redemptions, priced at $10.00 per share

The aggregate PIPE commitment — up to **$1.5 billion plus 5,021 Bitcoin** — nearly doubles the next-largest PIPE for a Bitcoin treasury SPAC merger at announcement and, together with the 25,000 Bitcoin to be contributed by the founding shareholders, gives BSTR what would be the 4th largest public corporate Bitcoin treasury worldwide today.

Net proceeds will be used to acquire additional Bitcoin and to build a suite of Bitcoin-native capital-markets products and advisory services.

"Bitcoin was created as sound money and BSTR is being created to bring that same integrity to modern capital markets," said **Dr. Adam Back, Co-Founder and CEO**. "By securing both fiat and Bitcoin funding on day one — including the first convertible preferred round announced in conjunction with a Bitcoin treasury SPAC merger — we are putting unprecedented firepower behind a single mission: **maximizing Bitcoin ownership per share while accelerating real-world Bitcoin adoption.** I'm grateful for the trust of the Bitcoin OG community and for the unwavering support of Cantor Fitzgerald."

"As a long-time Bitcoin advocate, Cantor is incredibly proud to partner with Dr. Back, one of Bitcoin's leading luminaries, to launch BSTR," said **Brandon Lutnick, Chairman & CEO of Cantor Equity Partners I, Inc. and Chairman of Cantor Fitzgerald, L.P.** "This historic transaction marks another step towards the integration of the Bitcoin economy and traditional finance."

**Transaction Highlights**

● **One of the largest ever PIPEs:** Up to $1.5 billion (fiat) plus 5,021 Bitcoin

● **Innovative capital structure:** First Bitcoin-treasury issuer to secure a **cumulative convertible preferred** instrument at inception

● **Community-first funding:** First **Bitcoin-denominated PIPE** funded entirely through in-kind contributions from Bitcoiners

● **Fortress balance sheet:** Founders' **25,000 Bitcoin** contribution provides immediate scale and credibility

● **Bitcoin-native leadership:** Dr. Adam Back and Sean Bill combine significant cryptography, technology and institutional portfolio management expertise, forming a bridge between traditional finance and the Bitcoin ecosystem

● **Actionable growth strategy:** BSTR intends to develop Bitcoin-denominated capital markets, and provide advisory solutions for corporations and sovereigns seeking Bitcoin-based treasury strategies

● **Technology access:** BSTR combines the ongoing financialization of Bitcoin with a deep technical understanding of Bitcoin the protocol, including privileged access to the leading technology providers in the industry *—* a dimension largely overlooked by competitors

**Terms and Approvals**

The Board of Directors of both BSTR and CEPO have unanimously approved the Business Combination. The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2025, subject to CEPO shareholder approval and other customary closing conditions.

Additional information about the Business Combination and the PIPE Offerings, including a copy of the business combination agreement (the "Business Combination Agreement") and investor presentation for the PIPE Offerings, will be filed by CEPO with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC) in Current Reports on Form 8-K and available at www.sec.gov.

Ellenoff Grossman & Schole LLP is acting as legal advisor to CEPO.

Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom (UK) LLP is acting as legal advisor to BSTR.

Risk Factors 30 Certain factorsmay have a material adverseeffecton the business, financial condition and resultsof operations of BSTR Holdings, Inc., a Delawarecorporation ("Pubco"), BSTRNewco, LLC, a Delawarelimited liability company(the "Company" or "BSTR") and/or Cantor Equity Partners I, Inc. ("CEPO" and, together with Pubcoand the Company, the "Parties")and any proposed investmentin the convertiblenotes (the "Notes")to be issued by Pubco(the "Convertible Notes Private Placement"), any proposed investmentin the sharesof convertiblepreferred stock(the "Convertible Preferred Stock") that maybe issued by Pubco(the "Convertible Preferred Stock Private Placement"), any proposed investment in the proposed private placement of ordinary sharesby CEPO, whichordinary shareswill be purchasedin cashor Bitcoin (the "Equity Private Placement"), and/or any proposed private investment in the membership interestsin Newco(the "Newco Equity PIPE", togetherwith the Equity Private Placement, Convertible Notes Private Placementand the Convertible Preferred Stock Private Placement, the "Private Placements").The risks and uncertaintiesdescribedbelow are not the only ones that the Parties face. Additional risksthat the Parties areunaware of, or that the Parties currentlybelieve are not material, may also becomeimportant factorsthat materially adverselyaffectany of the Parties. If anyof the following risks actuallyoccur, thebusiness, financial condition, results ofoperations, and futureprospects of the Parties could be materially and adverselyaffected. Inthat event, the trading priceof Pubco's Class Acommon stock("PubcoClass A Common Stock") following the proposed businesscombination among the Parties (the "Business Combination") could decline, and investorscould lose all or part of their investment. 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. • Due to Pubco's limited operating history and the concentration of its Bitcoin holdings, it will be 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 under the Notes and any subsequent debt financings. • 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 introduction of government issued digital assets could eliminate or reduce the need or demand for private - sector issued digital assets, or significantly limit their utility. National governments around the world could launch central bank digital currencies, which could in turn limit the size of the market opportunity for cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, and may adversely impact Pubco's business. • 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. If Pubco or its third - party service providers 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, 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 risk of non - performance by counterparties, including, in particular, risks relating to its custodians, including as a result of inability or refusal of a counterparty to perform because of a deterioration in the counterparty's financial condition and liquidity or for any other reason. • 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 application of state and federal securities laws and other laws and regulations to digital assets is unclear in certain respects, and it is possible that regulators in the United States or foreign countries may interpret or apply existing laws and regulations in a manner that could materially adversely affect Pubco's financial position, operations and prospects. • Policymakers in the U.S. are just beginning to consider what a regulatory regime for digital assets would look like and the elements that would serve as the foundation for such a regime. Pubco may be unable to effectively react to proposed legislation and regulation of digital assets, which would adversely affect its business. • Bitcoin's status as a "security" in any relevant jurisdiction, as well as the status of Bitcoin - related products and services in general is subject to a high degree of 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. • Regulatorychangesclassifying Bitcoin as a "security" could lead to Pubco'sclassification as an "investment company" underthe InvestmentCompany Act of 1940, andwould subject Pubcoto additional regulation and could materially impact the operation of Pubco' business. • If Pubcowere deemed to be an investmentcompanyunder the Investment Company Act of 1940, applicable restrictionslikely would makeit impracticalfor Pubcoto continue segmentsof its business ascurrentlycontemplatedand could adversely affect Pubco'sfinancial condition, the marketprice of Bitcoin and the market price of Pubco'sClass ACommon Stock and Pubco'sresultsof operations. • Pubcowill not be subject tothe samelegal and regulatoryobligations, including certain complianceand reporting obligations intended to protectinvestors, that apply to investment companiessuch as mutual funds and exchange - tradedfunds, or to obligations applicable to investmentadvisers. • Due to the unregulated nature and lack of transparencysurroundingthe operations of many Bitcoin trading venues, Bitcoin trading venues may experiencegreaterfraud, securityfailures or regulatoryor operational problems than trading venues for more established assetclasses, whichmay result in a lossof confidencein Bitcoin trading venues and adverselyaffect the value of Pubco'sBitcoin holdings. • Bitcoin is created and transmitted through the operations of the peer - to - peer Bitcoin network, a decentralized networkof computersrunning softwarefollowing the Bitcoin protocol. If the Bitcoin networkis disrupted or encountersany unanticipated difficulties, the value of Bitcoin could be negatively impacted.

Risk Factors (Cont'd) 31 Risks Related to the Business and Bitcoin Strategy of Pubco (Cont'd) • 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. If the Bitcoin network is disrupted or encounters any unanticipated difficulties, the value of Bitcoin could be negatively impacted. • Pubco may be subject to material litigation, including individual and class action lawsuits, as well as investigations and enforcement 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. • Pubco's compliance and risk management methods might not be effective and may result in outcomes that could adversely affect Pubco's reputation, operating results, and financial condition. • Pubco's mission and operations will include furthering the acceleration of Bitcoin adoption and the fusion of Bitcoin into finance and capital markets, accumulating, safeguarding and compounding Bitcoin, providing Bitcoin - related advisory services and potentially, generating in - kind Bitcoin yield, among other potential operations. Pubco has not previously engaged in these, or similar, businesses and operations, and growing these operations could be difficult for us, including, without limitation, due to operational challenges and significant competition. • Pubco may engage in Bitcoin - related activities in the future, including acquisition, safeguard and compounding of Bitcoin and providing Bitcoin - related advisory services, all of which may be subject to regulation. Pubco has not previously engaged in these business lines and may be unable to implement its business plan, including, without limitation, due to operational challenges, significant competition and regulation. • Changes in laws or regulations, or a failure to comply with any laws and regulations, including any applicable financial industry regulation, could have a material adverse impact on Pubco and its activities. • Bitcoin's underlying reliance on energy to facilitate transactions is uncertain and fluctuates based on supply, demand and network capacity at the time of a transaction, and fluctuations in energy costs, including gas, oil, fuel, electricity and renewable energy, even temporarily, could harm operating results. • If we were considered to be a "shell company" by Nasdaq, or another stock exchange on which we apply for listing, or by the SEC, we may be unable to list our Pubco Class A Common Stock on a stock exchange and the Business Combination would not occur. • We could be considered to be a "shell company" and we expect to be considered the successor to a shell company, and therefore, we and our stockholders would be restricted in reliance on certain rules or forms in connection with the offering, sale or resale of securities. 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 the digital asset markets generally, or for other reasons. Investors should be aware that they may lose some or all of their investment. • The principal assets of Pubco following the Business Combination will be its Bitcoin holdings and cash and cash equivalents 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 publish 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. Pubco'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 acquire 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 Pubco'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, accounting, 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. • If Pubco is unable to maintain an effective system of internal controls and compliances, its business and reputation could be adversely affected. • 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 companies may make Pubco Class A Common Stock less attractive to investors.

Risk Factors (Cont'd) 32 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. • 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 . • Investors in the Private Placements will experience immediate and material dilution upon closing of the Business Combination as a result of the Class B ordinary shares of CEPO (the "CEPO Class B Ordinary Shares") held by the sponsor of CEPO (the "Sponsor"), since the value of the CEPO Class B Ordinary Shares is likely to be substantially higher than the nominal price paid for them, even if the trading price of Pubco Class A Common Stock at such time is substantially less than $10 . 00 per share . • Since the Sponsor and CEPO's directors and officers have interests that are different from, or in addition to (and which may conflict with), the interests of CEPO's public shareholders, a conflict of interest may exist in determining whether the Business Combination with Pubco is appropriate as CEPO's initial business combination. Such interests include that the Sponsor will lose its entire investment in CEPO if the Business Combination or any other business combination is not completed, and that the Sponsor will be liable to CEPO in certain circumstances if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to CEPO (except for our independent auditors and underwriters of CEPO's initial public offering), or a prospective target business with which CEPO has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or similar agreement or business combination agreement, reduce the redemption amount to below certain agreed upon thresholds. • Neither the board of directors of CEPO (the "CEPO Board") nor any committee thereof may obtain a fairness opinion (or any similar report or appraisal) in determining whether or not to pursue the Business Combination. Consequently, CEPO shareholders will 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 and officers will have discretion on whether to agree to changes or waivers in the terms of the Business Combination and their interests in exercising that discretion 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, 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 influence the Sponsor's decision to approve the Business Combination . • A substantial majority of CEPO's public shareholders may redeem their CEPO Class A Ordinary Shares, which will reduce proceeds available to fund Pubco's operations following 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. • If CEPO seeks shareholder approval of the Business Combination, the Sponsor and CEPO's directors, officers and their respective affiliates may elect to purchase CEPO Class A Ordinary Shares from public shareholders, subject to any limitations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which may influence a vote on the Business Combination and reduce the public "float" of CEPO Class A Ordinary Shares. 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 have been volatile. Accordingly, securities of 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. • Pubco may or may not pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. • Pubco may have shareholders which, through their potential voting control of Pubco, may be in a position to control actions that require shareholder approval and may make decisions that are adverse to other shareholders.

Risk Factors (Cont'd) 33 Risks Related to Ownership of Pubco Class A Common Stock Following the Business Combination (Cont'd) • 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. • Sales of a substantial number of Pubco securities in the public market following the Business Combination could adversely affect the market price of Pubco Class A Common Stock. Risks Related to the Notes • Pubco's indebtedness could adversely affect our financial condition and prevent us from fulfilling our obligations under the Notes. • Pubco may be able to incur substantial indebtedness. This could exacerbate the risks to Pubco's financial condition described above and prevent Pubco from fulfilling its obligations under the Notes. • Pubco's obligation to offer to redeem the Notes upon the occurrence of a fundamental change will be triggered only by certain specified transactions, and may discourage a transaction that could be beneficial to the holders of Pubco Class A Common Stock and the Notes. • Pubco may not be able to generate sufficient cash to service all of its indebtedness, including the Notes, and may be forced to take other actions to satisfy its obligations under its indebtedness, which may not be successful. • Pubco's inability to generate sufficient cash flows to satisfy its debt obligations, or to refinance its indebtedness on commercially reasonable terms or at all, would materially and adversely affect Pubco's financial position and results of operations and Pubco's ability to satisfy its obligations under the Notes. • The indenture for the Convertible Notes Private Placement (the "Indenture") contains terms which restrict Pubco's current and future operations, particularly its ability to respond to changes or to take certain actions. • The Indenture contains cross - default provisions that could result in the acceleration of all of Pubco's indebtedness. • A lowering or withdrawal of the ratings assigned to Pubco's debt securities by rating agencies, if any, may increase Pubco's future borrowing costs and reduce its access to capital. • The Notes will be secured by a substantial portion of the assets of Pubco. As a result of these security interests, such assets would only be available to satisfy claims of Pubco's general creditors or to holders of Pubco's equity securities if Pubco were to become insolvent to the extent the value of such assets exceeded the amount of Pubco's secured indebtedness and other obligations. In addition, the existence of these security interests may adversely affect Pubco's financial flexibility. • Federal and state fraudulent transfer laws may permit a court to void the Notes and, if that occurs, the noteholders may not receive any payments on the Notes. • There is currently no trading market for the Notes. If an active trading market does not develop, then holders of Notes may be unable to sell their shares at desired times or prices, or at all. • Pubco may not have the ability to raise the funds necessary to settle conversions of the Notes, repurchase the Notes upon a fundamental change, purchase the Notes if tendered at the option of holders at the date specified in the indenture or repay the Notes in cash at their maturity, and Pubco's future debt may contain limitations on its ability to pay cash upon conversion, redemption or repurchase of the Notes. • The conversion rate of the Notes may not be adjusted for all dilutive events that may occur. • The increase in the conversion rate applicable to the Notes that holders convert in connection with a make - whole fundamental change or notice of redemption may not adequately compensate holders of Notes for the lost option time value of the Notes as a result of that make - whole fundamental change. • Liquidity, regulatory actions, changes in market conditions and other events may adversely affect the trading price and liquidity of the Notes and the ability of investors to implement a convertible note arbitrage trading strategy. • Upon conversion of the Notes, holders of Notes may receive less valuable consideration than expected because the value of Pubco Class A Common Stock may decline after such holders exercise their conversion right but before Pubco settles the conversion obligation. • Conversion or redemption may adversely affect a holder's return on the Notes. • The accounting method for convertible debt securities that may be settled in cash, including the Notes, may have a material effect on Pubco's reported financial results. • The market price of the shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock, which may fluctuate significantly, may directly affect the market price for the Notes. • The Notes are convertible into Pubco Class A Common Stock, and, as a result, holders of Notes will be subject to all of the risks associated with holding Pubco Class A Common Stock. Risks Related to the Shares of Convertible Preferred Stock • There is currently no trading market for the Convertible Preferred Stock. If an active trading market does not develop, then holders of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock may be unable to sell their shares at desired times or prices, or at all. • The conversion rate of the share of Convertible Preferred Stock may not be adjusted for all dilutive events or other events that may adversely affect the value of the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock that may occur. • Holders of Convertible Preferred Stock may be unable to convert their shares of Convertible Preferred Stock at the times they desire, and the value of the perpetual strike preferred stock could be less than the value of the consideration into which such shares of Convertible Preferred Stock could otherwise be converted. • Upon conversion of the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock, holders of Convertible Preferred Stock may receive less valuable consideration than expected because the value of Pubco Class A Common Stock may decline after holders exercise their conversion right but before Pubco settles the conversion obligation.

Risk Factors (Cont'd) 34 Risks Related to the Shares of Convertible Preferred Stock (Cont'd) • Conversion or redemption of the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock may adversely affect return on the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock. • The market price of the shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock may fluctuate significantly and may directly affect the market price for the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock. • The shares of Convertible Preferred Stock are convertible into Pubco Class A Common Stock, and, as a result, holders of Convertible Preferred Stock will be subject to all of the risks associated with holding Pubco Class A Common Stock. • Holding shares of Convertible Preferred Stock does not, in itself, confer any rights with respect to underlying shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock (including voting rights or rights to receive any dividends or other distributions on shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock). • Pubco may not have sufficient funds to pay dividends in cash on the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock, or Pubco may choose not to pay dividends on such shares and regulatory and contractual restrictions may prevent Pubco from declaring or paying dividends. • The Convertible Preferred Stock are expected to be senior to the Pubco Class A Common Stock and junior to any existing and future indebtedness. As such, if Pubco liquidates, dissolves or winds up, then Pubco assets will be available to distribute to equity holders, including holders of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock and holders of shares of Pubco Stock, only if all of Pubco's then - outstanding indebtedness is first paid in full. The remaining assets, if any, would then be allocated among holders of equity securities in accordance with their respective liquidation rights and preferences, including the liquidation preference of holders of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock over holders of shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock. • Pubco may issue preferred stock in the future that ranks equally with or senior to the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock with respect to dividends and liquidation rights, which may adversely affect the rights of holders of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock and holders of shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock. • Pubco does not currently expect that the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock will have any voting rights. Pubco may choose to implement such voting rights in the future. • Pubco will have the right to redeem the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock in certain circumstances. Investment in the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock may be harmed if such redemption were to occur. Similarly, Pubco may choose not to redeem any shares of Convertible Preferred Stock. In either case, investors may be unable to reinvest any proceeds or anticipated proceeds from their investment in comparable investments at favorable dividend or interest rates. • The accounting method for the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock may result in lower reported net earnings attributable to common stockholders. • Recent and future regulatory actions, changes in market conditions and other events may adversely affect the trading price and liquidity of the Convertible Preferred Stock and the ability of investors to implement a convertible arbitrage trading strategy. • Tax rules applicable to holding, conversion and dividends relating to shares of Convertible Preferred Stock could result in adverse consequences to the holders thereof. Risks Related to Taxation • Unrealized fair value gains on Pubco's Bitcoin holdings could cause Pubco to become subject to the corporate alternative minimum tax under the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. • If CEPO is characterized as a passive foreign investment company for U.S. federal income tax purposes, its U.S. shareholders may suffer adverse tax consequences as a result of the Business Combination. • Investors may have to pay U.S. federal income tax if Pubco adjusts the conversion rate of either the Notes or the Convertible Preferred Stock in certain circumstances, even if you do not receive any cash.
