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.
