Item 8.01 Other Events.
On October 17, 2025, GSR IV Acquisition Corp. (the “Company,” “us” or “our”) announced that the holders of the Company’s units sold in the Company’s initial public offering (the “Public Units”) may elect to separately trade the Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A Ordinary Shares”) and the rights included in the Public Units (the “rights”) commencing on October 20, 2025. Each Unit consists of one Ordinary Share and one-seventh of one right. Each whole right entitles the holder thereof to receive one Class A Ordinary Share upon the consummation of our initial business combination. Any Public Units not separated will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (the “Nasdaq”) under the symbol “GSRFU.” Any underlying Ordinary Shares and rights that are separated will trade on the Nasdaq under the symbols “GSRF,” “GSRFR” and “GSRFU,” respectively. No fractional rights will be issued upon separation of the Public Units and only whole rights will trade. Holders of Public Units will need to have their brokers contact Odyssey Transfer and Trust Company, the Company’s transfer agent, in order to separate such holders’ Public Units into Class A Ordinary Shares and rights.
A copy of the press release issued by the Company announcing the separate trading of the securities underlying the Public Units is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

When used in this report, words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend” and similar expressions, as they relate to us or our management team, identify forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs of management, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, the Company’s management.

All subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are qualified in their entirety by this paragraph. Forward-looking statements are subject to numerous conditions, many of which are beyond the control of the Company, including those set forth in the Risk Factors section of the Company’s registration statements and prospectus relating to the Company’s initial public offering filed with the SEC.

Exhibit 99.1
GSR IV Acquisition Corp. Announces the Separate Trading of its Shares
of Class A Ordinary Shares and Commencing October 20, 2025
New York, NY, Oct. 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- GSR IV Acquisition Corp. (“GSRF” or the “Company”) announced today that, commencing October 20, 2025, holders of the units sold in the Company’s initial public offering of 23,000,000 units, which included 3,000,000 units issued upon the full exercise of the underwriter’s over-allotment option (“Units”), may elect to separately trade the Company’s Class A Ordinary Shares (“Class A Ordinary Shares”) and Rights (Rights”) included in the Units. Each Unit consists of one Class A Ordinary Share and one-seventh (1/7th) of one Right, with each whole right entitling the holder thereof to receive one Class A Ordinary Share upon the consummation of an initial business combination. No fractional rights will be issued upon separation of the units and only whole rights will trade. The Class A Ordinary Shares and Rights that are separated will trade on Nasdaq Global Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbols “GSRF” and “GSRFR,” respectively. Those units not separated will continue to trade on Nasdaq under the symbol “GSRFU.” Holders of units will need to have their brokers contact Odyssey Transfer and Trust Company, the Company’s transfer agent, in order to separate the units into Class A Ordinary Shares and Rights.
GSRF is a newly incorporated, blank check company formed in the Cayman Islands for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. While the Company may pursue an initial business combination target in any business or industry, it intends to identify companies with compelling public-market narratives, high visibility of growth prospects, and attractive cash flow dynamics now or in the near future, where a public listing, financing from an initial business combination and access to public capital markets will enable the target to build on its competitive advantages and allow the target company to further accelerate its growth profile.
