Re:

Schedule 13D Filed by Atlas
FinTech Holdings Corp. and AtlasBanc Holdings Corp.
Filed April 24, 2024
File No. 005-94452
Dear Mr. Callaghan and Mr. Panos:
On behalf of Atlas FinTech
Holdings Corp. and AtlasBanc Holdings Corp. (the “Reporting Persons”), we are responding to the comments of the staff (the
“Staff”) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission set forth in your letter dated May 30, 2024 (the “Comment Letter”)
with respect to the above-captioned filing. Concurrently herewith, the Reporting Persons are filing their Amended and Restated Schedule
13D (the “Amended Filing”), which amends and restates their Schedule 13D that was filed on April 24, 2024 (the “Schedule
13D”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings set forth in Amended Filing.
Schedule 13D Filed April 24, 2024
General
1. We note the date of the event reported as requiring the filing of the Statement was February 9, 2024.
Rule 13d-1(a) of Regulation 13D-G requires the filing of a Schedule 13D within five business days after the date beneficial ownership
of more than five percent of a class of equity securities specified in Rule 13d-1(i)(1) was acquired. Based on the February 9, 2024 event
date, the Schedule 13D submitted on April 24, 2024 was not timely filed. Please advise us why the Schedule 13D was not filed within the
required five business days after the date of the acquisition.
Response: The Reporting
Persons acknowledge that the Schedule 13D was not filed within the required five business days after the February 9, 2024
acquisition of shares of common stock of AtlasClear Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) as the Reporting Persons needed
additional time to determine the allocation of the Merger Consideration Shares. Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, upon
the Closing of the Business Combination, AtlasFintech Holdings Corp. and Robert McBey (the “AtlasClear Stockholders”)
were each to receive 50% of the 4,440,000 Merger Consideration Shares, however, the AtlasClear Stockholders subsequently determined
that they needed additional time to revise the allocation of the Merger Consideration Shares. The revised allocation of the Merger
Consideration Shares resulted in Mr. McBey receiving 950,000 shares and AtlasFintech Holdings Corp. receiving 3,490,000 shares of
common stock. The Schedule 13D was filed after the allocation of the Merger Consideration Shares was finalized.
