• Loan Increased by $1M

  Amendment No. 2 to the Loan Agreement adds $1,000,000 to the principal, raising the total from $3.6M to $4.6M. Interest accrues at SOFR + 3.90%.

• Second Increase in Two Months

  This follows a $1.1M increase on June 2, 2026. Since the original $2.5M loan in March 2026, the target has now borrowed an additional $2.1M.

• Merger Renegotiation Backdrop

  The loan increase comes two days after CEPO announced the SPAC merger will not proceed on original terms, with parties discussing a revised structure.

• Use of Proceeds

  Funds are earmarked for operating costs, transaction expenses, and other merger-related expenses, pointing to ongoing cash burn at the target.

Just two days after the SPAC merger was announced as not proceeding on original terms, BSTR Newco—the merger target of Cantor Equity Partners I—has taken on an additional $1 million loan, pushing its total debt to $4.6 million. This follows a $1.1 million increase only a month ago. The repeated borrowing signals that the target is burning cash and requires bridge financing to stay afloat while a revised deal is negotiated. For CEPO shareholders, the risk is twofold: if the merger collapses, the target may struggle to repay, and if it proceeds, the combined entity inherits more debt.
