According to CoinDesk, The Ether Machine, an Ethereum treasury company, announced on Friday that its $1.6 billion SPAC merger agreement with Dynamix Corporation (stock ticker: DYNX) has been terminated due to unfavorable market conditions.

The merger agreement was initially disclosed in 2025, aiming to list 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 holding a large reserve of Ethereum. According to CoinGecko data, The Ether Machine currently holds 496,712 ETH, valued at over $1.1 billion.

The transaction garnered significant attention due to its scale—featuring a fully subscribed PIPE financing of $1.5 billion, described as the largest of its kind in common stock financing since 2021, along with approximately $170 million in Dynamix's trust account. The Ethereum holdings of the merged entity are expected to exceed 400,000 ETH, partly contributed by co-founder Andrew Keys.

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