Titan Acquisition Corp. (NASDAQ: TACHU) will merge with payments platform OpenPayd, taking it public on the NASDAQ under the ticker "OP" at a pro-forma equity value of about $1.145 billion. Titan units trade near $10.39, right at the top of their range.

‍

Let's take a closer look at OpenPayd's numbers and the deal terms to see whether the SPAC is worth owning ahead of the close.

‍

The business behind the shell

‍

OpenPayd is not a pre-revenue concept. As of March 2026, it reported more than $85 million in annualized recurring revenue and processed over $240 billion in annual transaction volume across 1,100-plus clients in 180 countries, including eToro and Kraken.

‍

The deal brings up to $276 million in gross proceeds from Titan's trust, but only if redemptions stay minimal. Redemptions are when SPAC shareholders choose to take their cash back instead of holding the merged stock, and in this market, they've often been steep.

‍

Management also points to U.S. expansion and stablecoin products as the use of cash. And founder Ozan Ozerk keeps flagging "agentic payments," where autonomous software, not a person, moves the money. That's the upside case in one line: own the rails AI agents use to pay each other.

‍

Is the OpenPayd SPAC worth buying?

‍

On the business, this is one of the cleaner fintech de-SPACs out there - real revenue, real volume, marquee clients in eToro and Kraken. On the price, the $1.145 billion equity value puts the stock at roughly 13 times that $85 million of recurring revenue. That's a full multiple for a payments firm whose audited margins the public market hasn't seen yet.

‍

The deal needs shareholder and regulatory approval and isn't expected to close until the fourth quarter of 2026, so the timeline is long, and the regulatory backdrop for stablecoins is still shifting.

‍

And buying TACHU at $10.39 before the vote means wearing the redemption risk yourself. If holders cash out, that $276 million shrinks, and the funded balance sheet you're paying for gets thinner. I'd rather watch this trade as OP with audited filings in hand than pay up for the shell now.
