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.

This report may include “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this report are forward-looking statements. 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. Actual results could differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors detailed in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). 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. Copies of such filings are available on the SEC’s website, www.sec.gov. The Company undertakes no obligation to update these statements for revisions or changes after the date of this report, except as required by law.
