American brokerage Cantor Fitzgerald is nearing a SPAC deal worth approximately $4 billion with Bitcoin pioneer Adam Back. The deal will involve the purchase of over 30,000 Bitcoins (valued at over $3 billion) through Cantor's blank check company Cantor Equity Partners 1 (which will be renamed BSTR Holdings), and will raise an additional $800 million to expand the digital asset purchasing scale, with Back set to receive equity in the company. This collaboration comes as the U.S. Congress is reviewing related legislation during "Crypto Week."
