NEW YORK , April 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Blue Water Acquisition Corp. IV (NYSE: BWIV ) ("BWIV"), a publicly listed special purpose acquisition company (the "Company"), today announced that it has entered into a letter of intent ("LOI") to acquire substantially all of Maha Capital AB ("Maha") subsidiaries inclusive of their respective assets and contracts expected to result in the formation of a publicly traded company listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). The Company will be headquartered in New York City and will create a differentiated portfolio of energy and financial technology assets. The transaction is expected to provide investors with exposure to a uniquely positioned energy platform. A central component of the acquisition is Maha's subsidiaries and affiliated entities holding exposure to Venezuelan energy-related assets that may operate under authorizations issued by the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control ("OFAC"), including General License 52 ("GL 52"), subject to regulatory compliance and applicable approvals. These authorizations, where applicable, provide a structured legal framework for certain activities involving Venezuela's energy sector in accordance with U.S. sanctions laws. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, Venezuela holds the largest proven oil reserves in the world, primarily concentrated in the Orinoco Belt. Despite the scale of these resources, production has declined materially over the past decade due to underinvestment and infrastructure constraints, creating a significant opportunity for capital, technology, and operational expertise to unlock value over time. Upon completion of the transaction, the Company is expected to be among a limited number of publicly traded platforms offering exposure to Venezuelan energy assets within an OFAC-compliant structure. This positioning provides investors with potential access to a globally significant resource base, coupled with long-term optionality tied to geopolitical and regulatory developments. In addition to its energy platform, the Company will include Maha's financial technology subsidiaries, which comprise a rapidly growing platform that leverages artificial intelligence to transform business-to-business credit and payments. The platform utilizes advanced AI-driven underwriting models, machine learning risk analytics, and real-time transaction data to expand access to credit for underserved small and medium-sized enterprises, particularly in Latin America and Canada where traditional lending infrastructure remains constrained. Through these capabilities, the platform enables faster credit decision-making, improved risk management, and scalable deployment across fragmented markets. The business also benefits from strategic partnerships, strengthening its position within the global payments ecosystem and enhancing distribution capabilities. Following the closing of the transaction, the company intends to separate its fintech operations into a standalone publicly traded entity within approximately thirty to ninety days. This planned separation is intended to allow each business to ... Full story available on Benzinga.com

The US dollar’s share in global foreign reserves peaked in 2001, and has been declining ever since.
