How we checked this
Checked on October 11, 2026. The cited source supports part of this claim, but not all of it.
The 8-K confirms the merger agreement and that a Form S-4 was filed for it. It dates the press release announcing the filing to May 14, 2021, but does not state the date the S-4 itself was filed.
Confirmed in the source:
- Cipher Mining Technologies Inc. is party to an agreement to combine with Good Works Acquisition Corp.
- The combination is a previously announced merger between Cipher Mining Technologies Inc. and Good Works Acquisition Corp.
- A registration statement on Form S-4, containing a preliminary proxy statement/prospectus, was filed in connection with the merger and had not yet become effective as of May 14, 2021.
- On May 14, 2021, Cipher Mining Technologies Inc. issued a press release announcing the Form S-4 filing.
We could not confirm this from the cited source:
- The Form S-4 registration statement was filed on May 14, 2021. The document dates only the press release announcing the filing, not the filing itself.
That does not mean it is false — only that this source does not establish it, as of the date above. If we find a source that settles it, we will re-check and update this page.
What we did: Read our cached copy of SEC EDGAR (https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1819989/000121390021026230/ea140878-8k_goodworks.htm) in full (3,256 characters, retrieved September 13, 2026) and checked each assertion in the claim against it.
