Cantor Equity Partners Reports Net Income of $717,494 and Pursues Business Combination

Cantor Equity Partners, Inc. reported a net income of approximately $717,494 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, a significant turnaround from a net loss of $20,555 during the same period in 2024. The company generated interest income of $1,160,599 from investments held in its Trust Account, which was offset by general and administrative expenses totaling $413,105 and $30,000 in administrative expenses paid to a related party. This resulted in a loss from operations of $443,105, compared to a loss of $20,555 in the prior year.

The company's total assets increased to approximately $103.5 million as of March 31, 2025, up from $102.4 million at the end of the previous fiscal year. This growth was primarily driven by an increase in available-for-sale debt securities held in the Trust Account, which rose to $103.1 million from $102 million. However, the company also reported a working capital deficit of approximately $576,000, compared to $190,000 at the end of 2024, indicating a deterioration in short-term financial health.

In terms of strategic developments, Cantor Equity Partners is actively pursuing a business combination, having entered into a Business Combination Agreement on April 22, 2025, with Twenty One Capital, Inc. and other parties. This agreement outlines a merger that is expected to be completed before the end of the Combination Period, which extends until August 14, 2026. The company has also secured commitments for a private investment in public equity (PIPE) totaling $200 million, which will be used to support the business combination.

Operationally, the company has maintained a consistent employee headcount, with 300,000 Class A ordinary shares issued and outstanding, alongside 2.5 million Class B ordinary shares. The company’s engagement metrics reflect a focus on building a robust shareholder base, as evidenced by the successful completion of its Initial Public Offering in August 2024, which raised $100 million. The company has not yet commenced operations and will not generate operating revenues until after the completion of the business combination.

Looking ahead, management remains optimistic about the potential for future growth, contingent upon the successful completion of the business combination. The company is focused on identifying and evaluating prospective target businesses, with plans to utilize its current liquidity and borrowing capacity to meet operational needs. However, management acknowledges that various external factors, including economic conditions and market volatility, could impact the company's ability to execute its strategic objectives.
