Date: 2026-04-08
Research Findings
The SEC EDGAR search confirms that Thiel Capital serves as co-sponsor of the Bridgetown Holdings SPAC series through formal collaboration agreements with Pacific Century Group. In Bridgetown Holdings Limited (the first SPAC), the sponsor entity 'Bridgetown LLC' was formed as a collaboration between Pacific Century and Thiel Capital, with Matt Danzeisen (Head of Private Investments at Thiel Capital) serving as Chairman. For Bridgetown 2 Holdings, the sponsor structure formalized a 50% economic interest split between Pacific Century affiliates and Thiel Capital affiliates. The disclosure obligations arising from SPAC sponsorship include detailed reporting of sponsor ownership stakes, founder share arrangements, and transaction-specific commitments. Additional entity BTN Investments LLC appears in later filings as an affiliated entity that jointly issued fee letters with the primary sponsor. This sponsorship structure creates ongoing disclosure obligations through Schedule 13D/A filings tracking sponsor shareholdings and business combination activities. The original Bridgetown Holdings SPAC ultimately completed a merger with MoneyHero Limited in May 2023 after the high-profile Traveloka merger talks collapsed in September 2021.
