RE:
Twenty One Capital, Inc.
Amendment No. 1 to Draft Registration Statement on Form
S-4 Submitted August 12, 2025
CIK No. 0002040457
Dear Sir or Madam:
This letter is submitted by Twenty One Capital,
Inc. (the “Company”), in response to the comments provided by the staff (the “Staff”) of the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) in its comment letter dated August 29, 2025 (the “Comment Letter”)
with respect to Amendment No. 1 to the Company’s Draft Registration Statement on Form S-4 as confidentially submitted with the Commission
on August 12, 2025. Concurrently with the filing of this letter, the Company is publicly filing a Registration Statement on Form S-4 (the
“Registration Statement”) through EDGAR.
For your convenience the text of the Staff’s
comments in the Comment Letter is set forth in bold and italics below, followed immediately in each case by the Company’s response.
All references in this letter to page numbers and captions (other than those in the Staff’s comments) correspond to the page numbers
and captions in the Registration Statement. Unless otherwise indicated, capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them
in the Registration Statement. The changes reflected in the Registration Statement include those made in response to the Staff’s
comments as well as other updates.
Summary of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus
1. We
note your revised disclosure in response to prior comment 18. Please revise to clarify what you mean by “where permissible”
on pages 32 and 159 in regards to the Conditions to Each Party’s Obligations section.
Response: In response to the Staff’s
comments, the Company has revised its disclosure on pages 31 and 159 of the Registration Statement. In addition, the Company notes for
the Staff that there are no contractual limitations on which conditions can be waived. The inclusion of “where permissible”
reflects the language of the Business Combination Agreement, which was intended to mean “where permissible pursuant
to applicable law.”
Risk Factors
2. We
note your revised disclosure on page 55 in response to prior comment 22 and your revised disclosure on page 238 in response to prior
comment 44. Please disclose quantitative information regarding the insurance coverage of Pubco’s bitcoin holdings provided by Anchorage.
Response: The Company respectfully advises
the Staff that the Company considers insurance coverage limits to be commercially sensitive information, which, if disclosed, likely would
cause substantial harm to the Company. For example, such disclosure could increase the likelihood that the Company becomes a target of
malicious acts by third-party actors and could allow the Company’s competitors to obtain otherwise confidential information regarding
the Company’s policies and operations. Furthermore, the Company respectfully advises the Staff that disclosure of insurance coverage
limits is not necessary for a reasonable investor’s understanding of the Company’s business or evaluation of an investment
in its common stock, as the Company has disclosed the types of losses covered by Anchorage’s insurance policies. Nonetheless, the
Company undertakes to supplementally provide information regarding insurance coverage limits to the Staff upon request.
The NTA Proposal
3. We
note your response to prior comment 27. Please revise your disclosure here and throughout, as appropriate, to highlight the risk that
if the amount in the trust falls below $5,000,001 as a results of the redemptions, CEP may no longer meet the Nasdaq listing standards
and CEP Ordinary Shares may be “penny stock” pursuant to Rule 3a51-1 under the Exchange Act. In addition, expand your disclosure
to fully address the impact to CEP and its investors if CEP Ordinary Shares are “penny stock.”
Response: We note that the NTA
provision in CEP’s Memorandum and Articles is not based on CEP’s status alone, nor is it necessarily based on the
pre-closing status of CEP. Instead, Section 49.5 of the Memorandum and Articles provides that the net tangible assets of CEP or any
entity that succeeds the Company as a public company (i.e., Pubco) either immediately prior to or upon consummation of the Business
Combination must be at least $5,000,001. If any of these criteria (CEP or Pubco, prior to or upon consummation of the Business
Combination) is met, the condition will have been satisfied. This NTA condition was included in the Memorandum and Articles to
reduce the likelihood that CEP (or a successor entity) would become subject to the SEC’s “penny stock” rules. The
parties do not expect that either CEP or Pubco will be subject to the “penny stock” rules prior to or upon the
Closing.
In response to the Staff’s comment,
the Company has revised the disclosure on the cover page and pages iii, xv, xxiii, xxxi, xxxix, xl, 37, 84-85, 115, 170, and 173-175
of the Registration Statement to provide that implementation of the NTA Proposal is contingent on the approval of the Business
Combination Proposal, and the approval of the Merger Proposal. The NTA Proposal will not be approved if such other Proposals are not
approved, and in such scenario, the NTA Amendment will not take effect.
We have also expanded the risk factor disclosure
on these pages to discuss the impact to CEP shareholders if the NTA Amendment is adopted and if either CEP or Pubco securities are deemed
to be “penny stock”.
The Organizational Documents Proposal
4. We
note your revised disclosure in response to prior comment 7. Please revise to provide a separate vote for each material difference between
the Proposed Organizational Documents and the CEP Memorandum and Articles. In this regard, we note your disclosure on page 182 that combines
each of the material differences into a single resolution.
Response: In response to the Staff’s
comments, the Company has revised its disclosure on the cover page and pages iii, xv, xxiii, 29, 109, and 176-183 of the Registration
Statement.
Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial
Information
5. We
acknowledge your response to prior comment 28 and revised presentation in your Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements.
Please expand on your descriptions of the individual transactions to which you are giving pro forma effect, and revise your presentation
to reflect each transaction in separate columns. For example, the Transaction Adjustments column includes the effect of the business
combination agreement, equity PIPE agreements, convertible notes subscription agreement, etc., in a single column. Refer to Regulation
S-X, Item 11-02(b)(4)(i).
Response: In response to the Staff’s
comments, the Company has revised the pro forma financial statements on pages 202-205 to reflect the Equity PIPE Agreements and Convertible
Notes subscription Agreements in separate columns.
Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined
Financial Statements
Note 1 - Description of the Proposed Transactions
6. We
acknowledge your response to prior comment 35. Please revise your disclosure here and in your discussion of the convertible notes on
page 267 to include the significant terms of the convertible notes, such as duration, interest rate, conversion terms, etc. Refer to
ASC 470-20-50.
Response: In response to the
Staff’s comments, the Company has revised the disclosure on page 206 and page 274 to include the significant terms of the
convertible notes such as interest rate, maturity date, contingency associated with the payment of principal or interest, priority
and conversion terms.

Note 4 - Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma
Condensed Combined Balance Sheet as of
March 31, 2025
7. We
acknowledge your response to prior comment 31. While there is a contractual agreement for the PIPE Investors, your response indicates
that the investors may still choose to pay the purchase price in cash. Please tell us whether the April PIPE Investors have yet to make
an election to pay the purchase price in bitcoin or cash.
Response: In response to the Staff’s
comments, the Company has revised the disclosure to the amounts presented in Adjustment A, on pages 210-213, to reflect that the April
PIPE investors have made the election as to whether they will pay the purchase price in bitcoin or cash.
8. In
adjustments A, N, O and R, you present the exchange of equity interests for bitcoin under the April PIPE, Contribution, June Pipe and
Additional PIPE agreements at the agreed-upon valuations. Please explain to us why you believe it is appropriate to measure the bitcoin
at the contractual valuation and to recognize the difference in fair value from that contractual valuation through your pro forma earnings,
citing the specific accounting literature you relied upon. In your response, tell us how you considered whether this is a transaction
in your own capital stock under ASC Topic 505-10-25-2.a. or a transaction between entities under common control under ASC Topic 805-50-30-5,
neither of which would result in a recorded gain or loss.
Response: We respectfully acknowledge the
Staff’s comment. We considered the guidance in ASC 505-10 and 815-40 when evaluating whether the exchange of equity interests for
bitcoin under the April PIPE, Contribution, June Pipe and Additional PIPE agreements should be presented at agreed-upon valuations or
contractual value.
ASC 505-10-25-2(a) applies to transactions involving the issuance of an entity’s outstanding equity shares in exchange for consideration.
However, because the subscribed shares were not issued and outstanding at inception, but rather represent obligations indexed to the Company’s
own equity, the instruments fall within the scope of ASC 815-40. Under ASC 815-10-15-74(a) and ASC 815-40-25, the contracts qualify for
the equity classification scope exception and are classified in stockholders’ equity. Accordingly, the transactions do not result
in the recognition of a gain or loss in earnings.
We also considered whether the transfers represent transactions between entities under common control under ASC 805-50-30-5. The PIPE
and Contribution investors are not entities under common control with the Company. Therefore, the guidance on common control transactions
is not applicable.
In the pro forma financial statements, Bitcoin acquired under these agreements is presented at the contractual valuation established in
valuation established in the agreements, as this reflects the fixed exchange terms contractually agreed by the Company and investors.
The offsetting entry is recorded within equity classification consistent with ASC 815-40. To the extent that contractual value differs
from contemporaneous fair value, the difference does not give rise to a recorded gain or loss in earnings.
In summary, we concluded that:
● The
subscribed share obligations are equity-linked instruments classified in equity under ASC 815-40, not outstanding shares under ASC 505-10.
● The
transactions are not common-control transactions under ASC 805-50.
● Bitcoin
is recognized in pro forma financial statements at fair value at of the most recent practicable date with any increase above contractual
value recorded to equity, and no gain or loss is recognized in earnings.
3
9. In
adjustments G, P and Q, you recognize bitcoin to be acquired immediately following the closing in exchange for the cash proceeds from
your equity PIPE agreements and your convertible notes agreement based on a contractual valuation. Please explain your presentation referencing
specific accounting guidance. Tell us your consideration of whether the agreement to acquire bitcoin on a future date at an agreed-upon
price could be considered a derivative under ASC Topic 815.
Response: We respectfully acknowledge the
Staff’s comment. We considered the guidance in ASC 815 when evaluating whether the agreements to acquire bitcoin immediately following
the closing of the transaction should be accounted for as derivatives and concluded that the agreement to acquire Bitcoin on a future
date at an agreed-upon price would be considered a derivative under ASC 815.
Specifically, because the PIPE Bitcoin Sale and
Additional PIPE Bitcoin Sale agreements were determined to be freestanding contracts, we evaluated them further under ASC 815-10-15-83
to determine if they meet the definition of a derivative, and under ASC 815-10-15-15 through 15-82A to assess whether any scope exceptions
apply. A summary of our analysis is as follows:
● The
agreements contain an underlying (the contractual price of bitcoin) and a notional/payment provision (the number of bitcoin to be delivered).
● The
contracts require no initial net investment or one that is smaller than would be required for a direct purchase of bitcoin.
● The
contracts permit net settlement through delivery of bitcoin, which is considered an asset that is readily convertible to cash (ASC 815-10-15-119
through 15-139).
Accordingly, the bitcoin purchase arrangements
meet all three characteristics of a derivative under ASC 815-10-15-83. Furthermore, none of the scope exceptions in ASC 815-10-15-15 through
15-82A apply to these agreements. As a result of the determination pursuant to ASC 815, the PIPE Bitcoin Sale and Additional PIPE Bitcoin
Sale agreements are accounted for as derivative instruments within the scope of ASC 815 and recognized as liabilities at inception with
subsequent measurement at fair value to be recognized through the statement of operations. The digital assets were valued at a per Bitcoin
price of $109,958.41 as of the most recent practicable date of September 4, 2025 and a gain was recognized for the difference between
the Bitcoin value and the purchase price which reflects the settlement of the derivative liability at Closing.
Beneficial Ownership of Securities
10. We
note your revised disclosure in the footnotes on pages 262 and 263 in response to prior comment 46. Please revise footnote 4 to the beneficial
ownership tables on pages 262 and 263 to disclose the natural persons with investment and voting control over the Pubco Class A and Pubco
Class B Stock held by Stellar Beacon LLC.
Response: In response to the Staff’s
comments, the Company has revised its disclosure on pages 265 and 266 of the Registration Statement. The Company advises the Staff that
the Company has been informed that voting and investment power over the shares held by Stellar Beacon LLC is exercised through the three-manager
board of Stellar Beacon LLC by majority vote. The Company has been informed that no natural person is deemed a beneficial owner of the
shares held by Stellar Beacon LLC.

7.We acknowledge your response to prior comment 31. While there is a contractual
agreement for the PIPE Investors, your response indicates that the investors may still
choose to pay the purchase price in cash. Please tell us whether the April PIPE
Investors have yet to make an election to pay the purchase price in bitcoin or cash.
8.In adjustments A, N, O and R, you present the exchange of equity interests for bitcoin
under the April PIPE, Contribution, June Pipe and Additional PIPE agreements at the
agreed-upon valuations. Please explain to us why you believe it is appropriate to
measure the bitcoin at the contractual valuation and to recognize the difference in fair
value from that contractual valuation through your pro forma earnings, citing the
specific accounting literature you relied upon. In your response, tell us how you
considered whether this is a transaction in your own capital stock under ASC Topic
505-10-25-2.a. or a transaction between entities under common control under ASC
Topic 805-50-30-5, neither of which would result in a recorded gain or loss.
9.In adjustments G, P and Q, you recognize bitcoin to be acquired immediately
following the closing in exchange for the cash proceeds from your equity PIPE
agreements and your convertible notes agreement based on a contractual valuation.
Please explain your presentation referencing specific accounting guidance. Tell us
your consideration of whether the agreement to acquire bitcoin on a future date at an
agreed-upon price could be considered a derivative under ASC Topic 815.

Please respond to this letter by providing the requested information and either

statement on EDGAR. If you do not believe a comment applies to your facts and

Draft Registration Statement on Form S-4
General
1.We note that the CEP Board did not obtain a fairness opinion in connection with its
determination to approve the Business Combination. While we note CEP's disclosure
in its registration statement on Form S-1 (333-280230) that CEP is not prohibited
from pursuing an initial business combination with a business that is affiliated with
Cantor or its affiliates or with its sponsor, officers or directors, including an Affiliated
Joint Acquisition, we also note that in the event that CEP seeks to complete an initial
business combination with a business that is affiliated with Cantor or its affiliates or
with its sponsor, officers or directors, CEP will obtain an opinion from an independent
investment banking firm that the initial business combination is fair to
CEP shareholders from a financial point of view. Please provide your analysis as to
why you believe that Tether is not an affiliate. In this regard, we note from media
reports that Cantor Fitzgerald has a substantial ownership stake in Tether and
that Cantor Fitzgerald acts as the primary custodian and trading partner for Tether's
reserves. We also note your disclosure on page 105 that "Tether and Cantor had
established a relationship in 2021 when Cantor began acting as a custodian and
trading partner for a portion of the U.S. treasuries backing."
2.Please revise to disclose the material terms of the Pubco Incentive Plan.
3.Please revise to use consistent abbreviations and names throughout. For example
purposes only, you appear to alternate between Bitfinex and iFinex to refer to the
same entity and you appear to alternate between Stellar Beacon and SoftBank to refer
to the same entity.
Cover Page
4.Please revise to disclose here and in the Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting of
Shareholders the ownership percentages of Pubco Class A and Pubco Class B Stock
that will be held by (i) the CEP Public Shareholders,(ii) the Sponsor, (iii) the CEP
officers and directors, (iv) each of the Sellers, (v) the Pipe Investors, and (vi)
SoftBank and the voting power that (i) the CEP Public Shareholders, (ii) the
Sponsor, (iii) the CEP officers and directors, (iv) each of the Sellers (v) the Pipe
Investors, and (vi) SoftBank will have following the Business Combination.
5.Please revise to disclose the number of shares of Pubco Class A and Pubco Class B
Stock offered in connection with the Business Combination and the price per share of
each class of Pubco Stock, the value of the consideration that the Sponsor, the CEP
Public Shareholders, Tether, Bitfinex and SoftBank are each receiving in connection
with the Business Combination and the aggregate value of the consideration that
Tether, Bitfinex and SoftBank are receiving.
6.Please revise the cover page to state that the CEP Board did not receive an outside
report, opinion or appraisal materially relating to the fairness of the consideration to
be offered to the CEP shareholders. Please refer to Item 1604(a)(1) of Regulation S-K.

Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders, page i
7.Please revise the Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders to list out
each separate proposal that the CEP Shareholders will consider and vote upon
pursuant to the Organizational Documents Proposal. In addition, please add proposals

composition of the board, (ii) the change from a classified board to an unclassified
board, (iii) the change that the board is elected by a plurality of the votes cast by
holders of Shares of Pubco Class B Stock, (iv) the changes related to the parties that
may call a special meeting of shareholders, (v) the changes to the quorum of the
board, (vi) the changes to the notice of shareholder actions and meetings and (vii) the
changes to the exclusive forum provision. Alternatively, please tell us why
you believe that such matters are not material.
Questions and Answers About the Proposals
What vote is required to approve the proposals presented at the Meeting, page xxx
8.It appears that your disclosure on page xxx that the Organizational Documents
Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the issued and outstanding CEP
Ordinary Shares as of the Record Date present in person or by proxy and voted at the
Meeting is inconsistent with your disclosure elsewhere that the Organizational
Documents Proposal is a non-binding advisory vote. Please revise for clarity and
consistency or advise.
Do I have appraisal rights if I object to the proposed Business Combination, page xli
9.Please revise your disclosure on pages xli and 102 to clarify whether the holders of
record of CEP Class A Ordinary Shares have appraisal rights in connection with the
special resolution to approve the Merger Proposal, and, if so, how such rights are
exercised.
How do I exercise my redemption rights, page xli
10.Please revise here and on page 101 to address the restriction of CEP Shareholders
acting in concert or as a "group" (as defined under Section 13 of the Exchange Act)
from redeeming shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 25% of the CEP
Class A Ordinary Shares.

"Material Adverse Effect" here.

running and wash-trading.

provision in its Amended and Restated Certificate of Formation.

July 30, 2025
Page 5
Bitcoin's status as a "security" in any relevant jurisdiction, page 57
23.Please revise to clarify here and throughout that a crypto asset may be determined to
be offered and sold as a security instead of referring to a crypto asset as being deemed
to be a security. In addition, please describe your risk-based process for determining
whether a crypto asset is offered and sold as a security. Also remove your disclosure
that "[t]he SEC generally does not provide advance guidance or confirmation on its
assessment of the status of any particular crypto asset, product or service as a
security" as the Commission and staff have issued reports, orders, and statements
that provide guidance on when a crypto asset may be offered and sold as a security for
purposes of the U.S. federal securities laws.
Risks Related to the Business Combination
CEP, Twenty One, Tether and SoftBank will incur transaction costs, page 68
24.Please revise to include an estimate of the costs that each of the parties to the Business
Combination Agreement has incurred and expects to incur in connection with the
consummation of the Business Combination.
Background of the Business Combination, page 105
25.We note your disclosure on page 126 regarding the material relationships that existed
and continue to exist between CF&Co. and Tether and SoftBank that are unrelated to
the Business Combination. Please revise to disclose here the compensation paid to
CF&Co. as a result of such material relationships.
26.Please add disclosure to describe the negotiations regarding the ownership of the CEP
Public Shareholders, the Sponsor, the Sellers and Softbank in Pubco.
The NTA Proposal, page 156
27.Please expand your disclosure to discuss the reasons for the NTA Proposal. In
addition, please tell us why the CEP Ordinary Shares will not be "penny stock"
pursuant to Rule 3a51-1 under the Exchange Act if CEP's NTA is less
than $5,000,001. In this regard, we note that the NTA Proposal is not conditioned
upon any other Proposals and that, even if the Business Combination Proposal or
other Proposals are not approved, the NTA Amendment may be made to the CEP
organizational documents if approved. If the amount in the trust falls below
$5,000,001 as a result of redemptions, CEP would likely no longer meet the Nasdaq
listing standards. At that point, it is possible that CEP would become a penny stock.
Please revise your disclosure here, in your Questions and Answers section, your risk
factors section and throughout as appropriate to clearly discuss the impact that the
trust falling below $5,000,001 would have upon CEP's listing on Nasdaq and discuss
the consideration given to this possibility in the CEP Board's determination to propose
to remove this provision from its organizational documents. Please provide clear
disclosure that removal of this provision could result in CEP's securities falling within
the definition of penny stock and clearly discuss the related risks to CEP and its
investors.

28.We note the various agreements describing the transaction beginning on page 172 and
in Note 1 on page 180. Please revise your presentation to include separate columns
for each transaction for which pro forma presentation is required. Refer to Regulation
S-X, Item 11-02(b)(4)(i).
29.Please tell us what consideration you gave to providing unaudited pro forma
condensed combined financial information that presents the different range of possible
redemption results (i.e., 25%, 50% and 75%). Refer to Regulation S-X, Item 11-
02(a)(10).
Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements
Note 1 - Description of the Proposed Transactions, page 180
30.Please confirm for us that the 31,500 bitcoin contributed in exchange for Pubco
common stock will occur prior to the closing of the Business Combination
Agreement.
Note 4 - Adjustments to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet, page
184
31.You disclose that proceeds from the Equity PIPE agreements can be settled in cash or
bitcoin. Please tell us whether the quantities of bitcoin expected to be received in
adjustments A and O are contractual or probable under the agreements.
32.You present the purchase of bitcoin with proceeds from the convertible notes and
equity PIPE agreements in adjustments G, P, and Q. Please tell us whether these
purchases are probable or are contractual under the related agreements.
33.If you determine that the bitcoin acquired is probable rather than contractual, please
explain to us how these acquisitions of bitcoin qualify as transaction adjustments
reflecting the transactions being presented in your pro forma condensed combined
financial statements.
34.You report the difference in fair value of bitcoin in adjustments U and V between the
valuation dates in the underlying agreements and fair value as of March 31 and June
30, 2025 as an adjustment to Digital Assets offset by an adjustment to Accumulated
Deficit. Please explain to us your consideration of ASC 350-60-10-35-1 and
Regulation S-X Item 11-02(a)(6)(i)(A) and (B) in calculating these adjustments and in
recognizing the change in fair value through Accumulated Deficit.
35.We note the disclosure that you are still assessing the accounting treatment of the
Convertible Notes. Please provide us with your analysis of the proposed accounting
treatment you intend to apply for the issuance of the Convertible Notes and revise
your disclosure accordingly.
Note 5 and 6 - Adjustments and Reclassifications to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed
Combined Statements of Operations, page 187
Your adjustments CC and FF for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and
adjustment EE for the year ended December 31, 2024 appear to reflect the change in
fair value of your proposed bitcoin investments from the contractual valuation dates 36.
July 30, 2025
Page 7
through the pro forma periods. Please provide your analysis as to how the fair value
adjustments comply with the pro forma guidance in Regulation S-X. In that regard,
Item 11-02(a)(6)(i)(A) and (B) indicate that for a probable transaction, pro forma
adjustments should be calculated using the most recent practicable date prior to the
effective date, qualification date or mail date. As such, it is unclear why any change in
fair value of intangible assets would be recorded in your unaudited pro forma
condensed combined statements of operations.
