Cloud mining firm BitFuFu is further delaying its public listing via a special-purpose acquisition company (SPAC) to May, as interest in the sector remains sluggish.
The firm, part of Bitmain's family of companies, announced it would go public in January 2022 by merging with Arisz Acquisition Corp. (ARIZ). It has now twice exercised its right to push the merger back by three months, with May 22, 2023, being the new deadline for the completion of the deal, according to a Tuesday press release. BitFuFu will not be able to postpone the merger again unless the shareholders agree to change Arisz's governing documents.
