BSTR Holdings subsidiary BSTR Newco increased its loan facility from an affiliate by $1.1M to $3.6M to fund operating costs and transaction expenses related to its pending business combination with SPAC Cantor Equity Partners I (CEPO). The S-4 registration for the business combination was declared effective on June 5, 2026, and the definitive proxy/prospectus has been mailed to CEPO shareholders.
