# SPAC Bleichroeder Acquisition III files for a $300 million IPO, targeting technology

Bleichroeder Acquisition III, a blank check company led by investment veterans targeting technology in North America or Europe, filed on Thursday with the SEC to raise up to $300 million in an initial public offering.

The company plans to raise $300 million by offering 30 million units at $10. Each unit consists of one share of common stock, and one-fourth of one warrant to purchase a share, exercisable at $11.50.

Bleichroeder Acquisition III led by **Executive Chairman Andrew Gundlach**, the Co-CEO of Bleichroeder and Head of Goldiron. He is joined by **CEO Marcello Padula**, a former Investment Banking VP of BofA Securities and **CFO Robert Folino**, the COO of Bleichroder. The SPAC intends to target North American and European businesses that are being transformed with technology adoption.

Management's previous SPACs include **Bleichroeder Acquisition II** (BBCQ; +4% from $10 offer price), which went public in January 2026 and is pending a business combination with quantum computer developer Pasqual, and Bleichroeder Acquisition I, which went public in 2024 and completed its business combination with aerospace firm **Merlin** (MRLN; -3%) in March 2026.

The New York, NY-based company was founded in 2026. It plans to list on the Nasdaq under the symbol BCCQU. Bleichroeder Acquisition III filed confidentially on May 19, 2026. Cohen & Company Securities is the sole bookrunner on the deal.
