Fact-check findings
What an automated fact-checker found when it re-read Coincheck against the sources the page cites. Only the most recent review is shown.
Read this first
These findings are produced by an automated reviewer, and its results vary between runs: the same page, checked three times on the same day, came back with 15%, 20% and 34% of its claims disputed, mostly because each run extracted a different number of claims. Treat what follows as leads, not rulings.
“Disputed” means the reviewer could not reconcile the claim with the evidence it cited. It does not mean the claim is false. “Unverifiable” means no reachable source settled it either way.
Nothing here changes the page on its own. A proposed correction is applied only after a human moderator approves it; until then the page reads as it did when reviewed.

“Monex Group retained approximately 82% of the combined entity.”
reviewerMonex Group retained approximately 82% of the combined entityMajority holding confirmed, but I could not confirm the 82% figure. It may also be outdated after the 2026 KDDI investment. - #10[unverifiable][awaiting moderator]in the timeline
“Shareholders of Thunder Bridge Capital Partners IV approve the business combination with Coincheck Group N.V.”
reviewerShareholders of Thunder Bridge Capital Partners IV approved the business combination on 2024-12-05I did not locate a source for the vote date. It is plausible but unchecked.

- #3[partially supported][awaiting moderator]in the timeline
“paying out approximately $411 million in total”
reviewerTotal compensation was approximately $411 millionThe yen figure is stable at 46.3 billion. USD conversions vary from $422M to $440M, so $411M is on the low side. The same figure appears in sections[3]. - #7[partially supported][awaiting moderator]in section: Nasdaq Listing via SPAC Merger (2024)
“Despite revenue growth, Coincheck Group reported a net loss of approximately $98.1 million as of February 2025.”
reviewerNet loss of approximately $98.1 million as of February 2025The figure matches the Q3 (Oct-Dec 2024) quarterly loss, not a position 'as of February 2025'. The period label is misleading. Based on search snippets rather than a full filing read.

How this fits together. The reviewer reads the published page and its cited sources and records one finding per claim. A human moderator decides whether each proposed correction is applied; those decisions, and the score changes they cause, appear in the audit log. Earlier review runs are not shown here; only the latest reflects the page as it stands.
