- CoinShares to merge with SPAC Vine Hill Capital and Odysseus Holdings
- The deal values CoinShares at $1.2 billion
- Shareholders may own up to 91.6% of the new entity
CoinShares, a leading European digital asset investment firm, is preparing to enter the U.S. public markets through a significant merger. The company announced a definitive agreement to merge with special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) Vine Hill Capital and Odysseus Holdings, setting its sights on a valuation of $1.2 billion.
The move positions CoinShares to expand its influence in the world’s largest financial market. The deal is expected to close by December 2025, marking a major milestone in the company’s global growth strategy.
What the Merger Means for Shareholders
One of the most attractive features of this SPAC merger is the generous stake offered to current CoinShares shareholders. They may own as much as 91.6% of the new combined entity. This level of control is rare in SPAC transactions and reflects strong confidence in the CoinShares brand and business model.
As part of the merger, a $50 million private placement is also planned, helping to bolster the company’s liquidity and support its expansion efforts post-listing.
Why the U.S. Listing Matters
CoinShares is already well-known in the European crypto investment space, offering a range of exchange-traded products (ETPs) and digital asset strategies. However, tapping into the U.S. capital markets opens doors to a broader investor base, increased visibility, and greater access to institutional capital.
By merging with Vine Hill Capital and Odysseus Holdings, CoinShares is choosing a strategic route that many companies have taken to go public in the U.S. without the lengthy traditional IPO process.
This SPAC route may accelerate CoinShares’ ambitions to become a dominant global player in crypto asset management and further legitimize the digital asset industry in the eyes of traditional investors.
