Bitcoin Standard Treasury delays merger vote to July 10
Bitcoin Standard Treasury postponed its shareholder vote on a proposed merger with Cantor Equity Partners to July 10, delaying a deal that would combine Adam Back's Bitcoin treasury firm with a company linked to Cantor Fitzgerald.
"Shareholders need additional time to review the terms and implications of the proposed business combination," a representative for BSTR said, confirming the vote was pushed back from the original July 2 date.
The delay comes as Bitcoin slid toward the $58,000 area during the early Tuesday Wall Street session, extending a broader risk-off move that has left crypto lagging behind traditional equities. The postponement introduces uncertainty around BSTR's valuation and the timeline for completing the tie-up, which was being closely tracked by Bitcoin treasury-focused investors.
A successful vote would create one of the largest publicly traded Bitcoin corporate treasury vehicles, merging Back's crypto-native firm — modeled on the Bitcoin Standard thesis — with Cantor Fitzgerald's traditional finance infrastructure. The new July 10 date gives shareholders an additional eight days to evaluate the deal's terms before deciding whether to advance the combination.
