As stocks broadly got hammered today, SPACs were not immune, essentially falling across the board. Included in the decliners was DMYQ, soon to be Planet (PL), ahead of its merger vote on Friday. DMYQ dipped below the $10 floor today, as shares went ex-redemption and thus lost its $10 safety net, before recovering to close at $10 on the nose. Will be interesting to see if there wound up being redemptions here. DMYQ / Planet seemingly have a ton of momentum behind them, and wouldn't be surprised if PL takes off post ticker-change.

Is Planet Labs Ready for Primetime?

Adit EdTech Acquisition Corp. (ADEX) confirmed a deal that was rumored last week in that it will be taking GRIID, "a profitable, vertically integrated bitcoin self-mining company with three US-based facilities," public in a SPAC transaction valuing the company at $3.3B EV. The deal contains no PIPE and will rely on the $276M ($246M net of fees and expenses) in the SPAC's trust for cash to accelerate growth.

Investor Deck

GRIID, capitalizing on the insane momentum and growth in the crypto space, has some of the most aggressive financial projections we've seen in a SPAC deal, with their downside case (hat tip to the company for providing three BTC cases, that's rare in management presentations) showing $1.5B in 2024E revenues if BTC goes from $50k-$30k. This is up from just $30M in revenue for 2021E.
