Cantor Equity Partners IV, the thirteenth blank check company formed by Cantor Fitzgerald, raised $400 million by offering 40 million shares at $10. The company did not offer units with warrants or rights attached.
At $400 million, Cantor Equity Partners IV is currently the year's second largest SPAC offering, behind EQV Ventures Acquisition II (EVACU; $420mm). Year to date, 82 blank check IPOs have raised a combined $14.7 billion, putting 2025 on track to be the biggest year for new SPAC issuance since 2021 and outpace any year prior to the COVID-era boom.
The SPAC is led by CEO and Chairman Brandon Lutnick, the CEO of Cantor, and CFO Jane Novak, the Global Head of Accounting Policy at Cantor. It plans to leverage management's experience to target businesses in the financial services, digital assets, healthcare, real estate services, technology, and software industries.
Cantor Equity Partners IV plans to list on the Nasdaq under the symbol CEPF. Cantor Fitzgerald acted as sole bookrunner on the deal.
