Finder's top picks on where to buy Griid stock when it goes public
What we know about the Griid IPO
Griid Infrastructure LLC, a US-based Bitcoin mining company that uses low-cost energy production methods in an effort to reduce its carbon footprint, has confirmed that it plans to go public by merging with Adit EdTech Acquisition Corp., a special purpose acquisitions company (SPAC).
Griid stands to receive around $200 million from the deal. The combined company is expected to have a market valuation of $3.3 billion.
Adit EdTech Acquisition Corp. currently trades on the NYSE under the ticker symbol "ADEX." After the merger, Griid will trade on the NYSE under the symbol "GRDI." The date Griid stock will begin trading has not yet been announced.
SPACs, or "blank check" companies, exist purely on paper for the purpose of going public, raising capital and merging with another company. Going public by merging with an SPAC is both quicker and easier than the traditional IPO process.
You can read more about the Griid-Adit EdTech merger in this business combination agreement submitted to the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on December 7, 2022. We'll update this page as more information becomes available.

Interactive Brokers provides access to many stock exchanges outside North America like the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (SEHK), Korea Stock Exchange (KSE), National Stock Exchange of India (NSE), Frankfurt Stock Exchange (FWB) and London Stock Exchange (LSE).

Tax implications of buying US stocks in Canada
Canadians who earn dividends from US stock investments must pay the US Internal Revenue Service (IRS) a 15% withholding tax on their earnings. The rate goes down to 10% for bonds and other interest-yielding US investments.
An exception is made for stock investments held in trusts designed to provide retirement income. This includes RRIFs, LIRAs, LIFs, LRIFs and Prescribed RRIFs. RRSPs that hold US stocks, bonds or ETFs are also exempt from US withholding tax. RESPs, TFSAs and RDSPs are not exempt.
Canadian and international investment income must be declared on your Canadian tax return. Unless your US earnings are exempt from withholding tax, this means you'll be taxed by both the IRS and the CRA. The CRA may allow you to claim foreign tax credits for any taxes you've already paid to the IRS.
Speak with a tax professional to find out what rules and exceptions apply in your circumstances.
