On January 12, 2026, Lafayette Digital Acquisition Corp. I (Nasdaq: ZKPU) finalized its initial public offering, raising $287.5 million to fund future tech-sector acquisitions. The Miami-based special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) sold 28.75 million units at $10.00 each, a total bolstered by the underwriters fully exercising their over-allotment option. Led by CEO Samuel A. Jernigan IV, the firm intends to deploy this capital toward a merger or acquisition, specifically targeting the technology and fintech industries. This successful closing marks a notable data point in the 2026 financial landscape, suggesting a calculated return of investor appetite for blank-check companies with disciplined focus areas.
