CoinShares to go public via SPAC merger, targeting U.S. market expansion and Nasdaq Debut with $1.2B valuation and global ambitions.
CoinShares, a leading digital asset manager in Europe, has announced a new plan to enter the United States stock market. The company has signed a definitive agreement with Vine Hill Capital Investment, a U.S.-based special purpose acquisition company (SPAC). This agreement will enable CoinShares to be quoted on the Nasdaq Stock Market.
CoinShares Sets Sights on U.S. Investors with $1.2B Deal
A SPAC is a company that’s already listed on a stock exchange. It doesn’t conduct a business, but it exists to merge with another company. This means that the second company does not have to undergo the usual process of an initial public offering (IPO). In this case, CoinShares will be merging with Vine Hill in order to achieve its listing in the U.S.

The move is a major step in the global expansion strategy of CoinShares. By entering the U.S. market, CoinShares hopes to reach more investors and have a greater presence in the world’s largest financial market. The name of the new combined company will be known as Odysseus Holdings Limited.
The transaction puts CoinShares’ worth at about $1.2 billion before any new investment. It also features a $50 million equity investment by a major institutional investor. This provides the company more support as it grows the business.
CoinShares is already a large player in the digital asset industry. It is the world’s fourth-largest manager of digital asset exchange-traded products (ETPs). The company is behind world leaders such as BlackRock, Fidelity, and Grayscale. However, it has the number one position in Europe with a 34% market share.
Over the last two years, CoinShares has been growing very well. Its assets under management (AuM) have more than doubled. This has been driven by new products, the increase of digital assets prices, and high investor interest. In the first half of 2025, CoinShares reached an adjusted EBITDA margin of 76 percent. This demonstrates the company’s capacity to work efficiently and make healthy profits.
Nasdaq Debut Part of CoinShares’ Global Vision
CoinShares’ CEO, Jean-Marie Mognetti, said that the move to the U.S. market is more than simply a listing. He believes that it is a huge change in the company’s future. He also said that the digital asset market has arrived at an important turning point. According to Mognetti, CoinShares would like to be a leader in the next phase of the industry.
Vine Hill’s CEO, Nicholas Petruska, also hailed the deal. He said CoinShares has a proven business model and leadership team. In that regard, he believes that the company is well-prepared for long-term success.
CoinShares plans to bring its experience in Europe to the U.S. to expand its services. It will be the introduction of new investment products targeted at American investors. The company believes that there are huge opportunities in the US market, particularly as interest in digital assets has grown.
In conclusion, CoinShares is taking a bold step in becoming a global leader in digital asset management. By joining with the likes of Vine Hill and listing on the Nasdaq, it is taking a major step forward. The company hopes this will help build its brand, attract more investors, and help shape the future of digital finance.
