Mars Finance reports that on April 12, according to CoinDesk, the Ethereum treasury company The Ether Machine announced on Friday that its SPAC merger agreement valued at $1.6 billion with Dynamix Corporation (stock code: DYNX) has been terminated due to unfavorable market conditions. The merger agreement was initially disclosed in July 2025 and aimed to list the Ethereum treasury company The Ether Machine on Nasdaq under the stock ticker ETHM. The company’s positioning is as an Ethereum treasury and yield vehicle, generating returns through staking and DeFi strategies, while also holding a large Ethereum reserve. According to CoinGecko data, The Ether Machine currently holds 496,712 ETH, worth more than $1.1 billion.

The deal drew significant attention due to its scale— including a $1.5 billion fully subscribed PIPE financing, described as the largest such common-stock financing since 2021, and in addition, approximately $170 million in the Dynamix trust account. The Ethereum holdings of the post-merger entity are expected to exceed 400,000 ETH, with part of this coming from capital contributions by co-founder Andrew Keys.

In the termination statement, both companies said that the termination was “mutually agreed upon.” According to documents submitted to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), as part of the termination agreement, Dynamix will receive a $50 million compensation payment within 15 days.
