BTC Development Corp. closes $253 million IPO of 25.3 million units
BTC Development Corp. (BDCI) completed its initial public offering on October 1, 2025, selling 25,300,000 units at $10.00 each, including the full exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option, for gross proceeds of $253 million. The company also sold 760,000 private placement units for $7.6 million, and $253 million of the net proceeds was placed in a trust account for public shareholders, which matters because redemption rights and the trust balance govern what public shareholders receive if the company completes or fails to complete a business combination.
