MOZAYYX Acquisition Corp. completed an initial public offering of 30 million units at $10 each, generating $300 million in gross proceeds before underwriting discounts and expenses. The offering included a partial exercise of the underwriter's over-allotment, and the units began trading on the New York Stock Exchange on February 25, 2026. Each unit contains one Class A ordinary share and one-quarter of a redeemable warrant, with full warrants exercisable at $11.50 per share. The company is a Cayman Islands-incorporated blank check issuer seeking a business combination, and Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. acted as sole book-running manager. The SEC declared the registration statement effective on February 24, 2026.

Key Points

  • MOZAYYX completed an IPO of 30 million units at $10 per unit, raising $300 million in gross proceeds before underwriting discounts and expenses.
  • The offering included 3.9 million additional units from a partial exercise of the underwriter's over-allotment option; units began trading on the NYSE as MZYX.U on February 25, 2026.
  • Each unit contains one Class A ordinary share and one-quarter of a redeemable warrant; whole warrants are exercisable at $11.50, and Class A shares and warrants are expected to trade separately as MZYX and MZYX.WS.

MOZAYYX Acquisition Corp. reported the successful completion of its initial public offering, selling 30 million units at $10 apiece and raising $300 million in gross proceeds before underwriting discounts and expenses, according to the company's statement.

The underwriting included a partial exercise of the underwriter's over-allotment option, resulting in the sale of an additional 3.9 million units as part of the offering. Trading of the units began on the New York Stock Exchange on February 25, 2026, under the symbol MZYX.U.

Each unit issued in the offering is composed of one Class A ordinary share together with one-quarter of a redeemable warrant. Those quarters combine so that each whole warrant grants its holder the right to acquire one Class A ordinary share at an exercise price of $11.50 per share. The company said it expects the Class A ordinary shares and the warrants to commence separate trading on the NYSE under the tickers MZYX and MZYX.WS, respectively.

MOZAYYX Acquisition Corp. is incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands and operates as a blank check company. As described in the company's statement, its purpose is to pursue a business combination - which may take the form of a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar transaction - with one or more businesses or entities.

Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. served as the sole book-running manager for the offering. The company's registration statement was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 24, 2026, enabling the offering to proceed and the units to begin trading the following day.


Clear details from the company emphasize the structure of the securities sold and the immediate trading timeline. The statement provides the precise composition of the public units, the exercise terms for the resulting warrants, and the corporate form under which the issuer operates.

For market participants and observers of capital markets and corporate finance activity, the transaction records the deployment of capital under the blank-check company model and the use of an underwriter over-allotment option to increase the size of the offering.


Sectors impacted: Financial markets and capital markets activity related to public listings and special purpose acquisition vehicles.

Risks

  • Net proceeds available to MOZAYYX will be lower than the $300 million gross amount after underwriting discounts and offering expenses - affecting capital available for a future business combination. (Impacted sector: financial markets)
  • As a blank check company incorporated under Cayman Islands law, MOZAYYX faces uncertainty around the timing, nature and completion of any merger, share exchange, asset acquisition or similar transaction it pursues. (Impacted sectors: corporate finance and target industries)
  • The securities structure - units split into Class A ordinary shares and warrants that will trade separately - introduces execution and market reception risk for investors as the securities begin independent trading. (Impacted sector: capital markets)
