Who owns the operator, read from the public register. Each step says what kind of evidence it rests on: a registry record can be checked, a company statement cannot.
The chain stops here because the register stops, not because the top was reached. Swiss and Swedish companies do not publish their shareholders, and a Czech joint-stock company does not list its own. Nothing above the last step should be assumed either way.
WHAT IT USED TO BE

The blank-cheque acquisition company that Bitcoin Depot went public through. EDGAR carries the name change against the same CIK, so the filer is continuous.
