Parataxis Holdings, a digital asset investment platform specializing in Bitcoin, is preparing to go public through a merger with the $200 million special purpose acquisition company (SPAC), SilverBox Corp IV. The two firms entered into a non-binding letter of intent on Monday, signaling the beginning of a potential deal that could bring Parataxis’ institutional-grade crypto strategies to the public market. SilverBox Corp IV, which is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker “SBXD,” is affiliated with SilverBox Capital LLC — a firm established in 2020 to back alternative investments and sponsor SPACs. Parataxis, on the other hand, operates as an affiliate of Parataxis Capital Management, a digital asset firm founded in 2019 with a strong focus on institutional Bitcoin strategies. Parataxis Tapping Institutional Demand for Bitcoin Exposure If the merger proceeds, the combined entity would become a publicly traded platform targeting institutional investors who seek exposure to Bitcoin and other digital assets. According to the announcement, Parataxis aims to offer proprietary strategies for clients who view Bitcoin as a treasury and strategic asset — a trend that has gained traction among corporations and large funds in recent years. “This transaction offers a chance to bring a unique and highly scalable digital asset management platform to the public markets,” said Joe Reece, co-managing partner at SilverBox Capital. He added that the firm sees potential in underserved markets, with South Korea named as an initial area of focus due to rising demand for digital assets. Although the agreement is currently non-binding and no definitive deal has been finalized, it signals increasing institutional interest in Bitcoin-focused investments . Clear Street, a cloud-native platform specializing in multi-asset clearing and portfolio management, is acting as the lead financial advisor for the transaction. SPAC Momentum Picks Up in Crypto Sector SilverBox Corp IV completed its $200 million IPO in August 2024, but its stock had seen only modest gains until news of the merger surfaced. The share price has increased notably in recent days, reflecting growing investor interest in SPACs with crypto exposure. This move follows the successful Nasdaq debut of ProCap Acquisition Corp, a fintech-focused SPAC launched by crypto investor Anthony Pompliano. ProCap’s shares hit an all-time high of $11.35 on June 9, gaining 5.5% since its May 20 launch.
