Bitcoin (BTC) mining company PrimeBlock (Prime Blockchain) ended its plans to go public via a merger with blank check company 10X Capital Venture Acquisition (VCXA).

Plans for the listing were confirmed in April with expectations that the merger would be completed in the second half of 2022 carrying an enterprise value of $1.25 billion.
