Overview
STARRY SEA ACQUISITION CORP is a special purpose acquisition company incorporated in Cayman Islands and registered with the SEC under CIK 0002059165. It completed its initial public offering in Aug 2025 and listing on Nasdaq. Class A shares trade under the ticker SSEA, units under SSEAU, rights under SSEAR on Nasdaq. The vehicle is sponsored by STARRY SEA through STARRY SEA INVESTMENT LIMITED. The mandate targets technology. Definitive business-combination agreement signed, closing pending.
“We intend to seek target businesses with strong positions in an industry where they have disruptive or leading competitive technology, distinctive brand equity and/or product competencies.”
Reading the filings
Arithmetic on what STARRY SEA ACQUISITION CORP has disclosed, written the way a desk would read it. These are observations, not a rating. Nothing here scores the vehicle or implies a view on it.
Trading at a premium to trust
At $10.32 the shares trade 1.98% above the $10.12 redemption floor. Above trust the market is paying for the announced or expected deal rather than for the cash, so the premium is what is at risk if the combination does not close.
Trust versus the $10 unit
The trust holds $10.12 per public share, 1.2% above the $10.00 the units were sold at. That spread is accrued interest on the trust and, where the charter provides for it, sponsor contributions paid in to buy more time. It is the floor a public shareholder can redeem at, not a valuation of the business.
Sponsor promote
The sponsor's founder block is 1,437,500 shares against 5,750,000 public shares, or 20.0% of the combined count, acquired before the IPO at nominal cost. That promote is the structural dilution every public shareholder carries into a combination, and it is why the economics of a de-SPAC differ so sharply from a conventional IPO.
Underwriting
A.G.P./Alliance Global led the offering. It has been named on 17 SPAC IPOs, book-running 17 of them, and 14.3% of its resolved vehicles closed a deal. The syndicate has no control over whether a sponsor finds a target, but the quality of the book at pricing shapes who ends up holding the units.

definitive agreement signed
Potential is about execution, not about the target. It says nothing about whether the eventual deal is worth owning, because the target is usually unknown when the score is computed.
These are derived measures, not ratings of investment merit. They carry no view on the target, no price target and no recommendation, and a high score is not a reason to buy anything.

STARRY SEA ACQUISITION CORP: questions answered
What is STARRY SEA ACQUISITION CORP (SSEA)?
STARRY SEA ACQUISITION CORP is a special purpose acquisition company incorporated in Cayman Islands and registered with the SEC under CIK 0002059165. It completed its initial public offering in Aug 2025 and listing on Nasdaq. Class A shares trade under the ticker SSEA, units under SSEAU, rights under SSEAR on Nasdaq. The vehicle is sponsored by STARRY SEA through STARRY SEA INVESTMENT LIMITED. The mandate targets technology. Definitive business-combination agreement signed, closing pending.
How much does STARRY SEA ACQUISITION CORP hold in trust?
Approximately $59,335,397, or about $10.12 per public share, as at the most recent filing on record. Trust balances move: shareholders redeem at extension votes and at the combination vote, and sponsors pay contributions in to extend. Treat the figure as a point-in-time disclosure, not a running balance.
When must STARRY SEA ACQUISITION CORP complete a merger?
No combination deadline appears in the filings we have indexed. The date is stated in the charter and repeated in each quarterly report; where our parser could not establish it with confidence we leave it blank rather than infer one.
What happens if STARRY SEA ACQUISITION CORP does not find a target in time?
The charter requires the vehicle to redeem 100% of the public shares and return the trust, pro rata, to public shareholders. That is the mechanism working as designed rather than a default. Founder shares and warrants are worthless in that outcome, which is why the sponsor's incentive is to get a deal done or to buy more time. Across the market, deadline lapsed without a deal; trust returned to public shareholders.
Can I redeem shares in STARRY SEA ACQUISITION CORP, and at what price?
Public shareholders may elect to redeem in connection with a combination vote and at each extension vote, at the pro-rata trust value on the relevant record date, most recently disclosed at about $10.12 per share. Redemption is a right attached to the public shares only; warrants and rights carry no claim on the trust. The mechanics and the deadline for electing are set out in the proxy statement for the vote in question.
What tickers does STARRY SEA ACQUISITION CORP trade under?
Class A shares trade as SSEA on Nasdaq, the units as SSEAU, with rights as SSEAR. Units trade first and separate into their component securities roughly 52 days after the IPO; only the Class A shares carry the redemption right against the trust.
Is the trust value the same as the share price for STARRY SEA ACQUISITION CORP?
No, and the gap between them is the whole trade. Trust per share is a disclosed, contractual figure of $10.12, being what a redeeming holder receives. The market price is whatever the shares change hands at: most recently $10.32, a premium of 1.98% to the redemption value. Quotes on this site are delayed and indicative; confirm on your own venue before trading.
How much dilution do STARRY SEA ACQUISITION CORP's founder shares and warrants create?
The founder block is 1,437,500 shares against 5,750,000 public shares, so roughly 20.0% of the combined count sits with the sponsor at nominal cost. Both are disclosed in the prospectus and both survive into the combined company, which is why a de-SPAC at $10 is not economically the same as an IPO at $10.
Who sponsors STARRY SEA ACQUISITION CORP, and what is their track record?
STARRY SEA INVESTMENT LIMITED is the sponsor entity, part of the STARRY SEA franchise. This is the only vehicle we have attributed to that sponsor.
Which banks underwrote the STARRY SEA ACQUISITION CORP IPO?
A.G.P./Alliance Global. A.G.P./Alliance Global was credited as book-running manager on the cover. Syndicate membership and role are read from the prospectus cover and the underwriting section.
Is STARRY SEA ACQUISITION CORP tradeable, and where?
Yes. SSEA returned a live quote of $10.32 on Nasdaq. Quotes here are delayed and refreshed on a schedule rather than streamed, so treat the figure as indicative and confirm on your own venue. Units and warrants trade under their own symbols and are quoted separately.
Is STARRY SEA ACQUISITION CORP a good investment?
That is not a question this site answers. STARRY SEA ACQUISITION CORP is covered here as reference data: what the company filed, when it filed it, and what the numbers in those filings say. The Edge, FOMO and Potential scores on this page are derived measures with a published formula, not ratings of investment merit: they describe the setup, and every component is shown so you can take them apart. We publish no price targets and no recommendations, and nothing here should be read as advice. The figures are a starting point for your own work, and each one carries the accession number of the filing it came from.
Where does this STARRY SEA ACQUISITION CORP data come from?
Filings STARRY SEA ACQUISITION CORP submitted to the SEC under CIK 0002059165: the registration statement and final prospectus for the structure, quarterly and annual reports for the trust, current reports and proxy statements for deals, votes and extensions. Trust economics are taken from the registrant's own XBRL tags rather than parsed from prose, which is why they are exact. Every filing in the history above is listed with its accession number, which identifies the document uniquely on EDGAR; Pro accounts open it directly from the row.
Compiled by the SPACListing research desk

Every figure on this page is read from documents the registrants filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, principally the IPO prospectus (Form 424B4), quarterly and annual reports, current reports and proxy statements, the registrant's own XBRL tags for trust economics. Nothing is sourced from press coverage, from the companies themselves, or from a third-party aggregator. Where a filing does not disclose something, the field is left blank rather than estimated.
