Columbus Circle Capital Corp III closes $230 million IPO of 23 million units
Columbus Circle Capital Corp III, a blank check company, completed its initial public offering on July 10, 2026, selling 23,000,000 units at $10.00 each, including the full exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option. The $230 million was placed in a U.S.-based trust account, and the company states it has not selected a business combination target, so shareholders' funds remain in the trust until a business combination or a liquidation.
Key points
- 23,000,000 units sold at $10.00 per unit, including 3,000,000 units from the full over-allotment exercise, for gross proceeds of $230 million
- Each unit has one Class A ordinary share and one-third of one redeemable warrant, exercisable at $11.50 per share
- $230 million ($10.00 per unit) placed in trust with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company
- Private placement of 665,000 units at $10.00 per unit raised $6.65 million; the company has 24 months from the IPO closing to complete a business combination
