Abra strikes $750M SPAC merger to list as ABRX, seeks up to $300M to expand crypto lending and custody

Abra will go public via a SPAC merger valued at $750 million, with the deal potentially providing up to $300 million in cash for growth [1].

Mar 16, 20261:48 PMNewsroom AI

Abra, a San Francisco–based digital-asset wealth management firm, has agreed to merge with New Providence Acquisition Corp. III (NPACU) in a SPAC transaction that assigns Abra a pre-money equity valuation of $750 million and would have the combined company list on Nasdaq under the ticker ABRX; the deal could provide up to $300 million from trust funds depending on redemption levels [1] [2] [3].

Company executives and filings say the transaction is intended to supply growth capital to expand institutional crypto lending, yield and custody offerings, with as much as $300 million in cash available depending on investor redemptions; Abra previously reached settlements with the SEC and 25 state regulators in 2024 related to compliance matters [3] [1].

If completed, the business combination will result in Abra’s shares trading on Nasdaq as ABRX, marking the company’s transition to a publicly listed digital-asset wealth manager [1] [4].
