- GSR IV Acquisition Corp. is a blank check company incorporated in the Cayman Islands in 2023 and headquartered at 5900 Balcones Drive, Suite 100, Austin, Texas, whose principal business is to effect a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or similar initial business combination with one or more businesses, with a primary focus on high-potential, U.S.-based targets exhibiting financial stability, leading industry and market positions, resilient barriers to entry, compelling public-market narratives, high visibility of growth prospects and attractive cash flow dynamics. The company offers no operating products or services but maintains a trust account holding net proceeds from its initial public offering for deployment in a business combination; each unit (traded under ticker GSRFU on Nasdaq) comprises one Class A ordinary share and one-seventh of one right, with each whole right entitling the holder to receive one Class A ordinary share upon consummation of an initial business combination, and separated Class A shares and rights trade under symbols GSRF and GSRFR, respectively. In September 2025, the company completed a $230 million initial public offering of 23 million units at $10.00 per unit, including the full exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option, with Polaris Advisory Partners and The Benchmark Company serving as joint bookrunners; on October 17, 2025, it announced the separate trading of its Class A ordinary shares and rights effective October 20, 2025, enhancing liquidity while it continues to pursue acquisition targets across industries without any announced business combination as of November 2025. The company operates globally through its Nasdaq listing but targets primarily U.S. businesses and has no subsidiaries or parent company relationships. Co-CEOs Gus Garcia (former Head of SPAC M&A at Bank of America) and Lewis Silberman (former Head of SPAC Equity Capital Markets at Oppenheimer & Co.), along with President, CFO and Director Anantha Ramamurti (former Managing Director at Bank of America Securities), lead the effort, drawing on experience from prior SPACs including GSR III Acquisition and GSR II Meteora Acquisition.
