Exhibit 99.1

Announcement Regarding the Progress of Thunder Bridge Capital Partners IV, Inc.’s Proposed Business Combination with Coincheck Group B.V.

GREAT FALLS, Va., May 31, 2023 - Thunder Bridge Capital Partners Ⅳ, Inc. (“THCP” or “Thunder Bridge”), a special purpose acquisition company (“SPAC”) publicly listed on the Nasdaq Global Market (“Nasdaq”), is working closely with Coincheck Group B.V. (“CCG” or “Coincheck Group”), a consolidated subsidiary of Monex Group, Inc. (headquarters: Tokyo, Japan; Representative Executive Officer and CEO: Oki Matsumoto), which will be a holding company of Coincheck, Inc. (“Coincheck”), to complete the previously announced merger which will result in CCG becoming a publicly listed company on Nasdaq (the “CCG De-SPAC Transaction”) pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, dated March 22, 2022, among THCP and CCG and certain of its affiliates (as amended from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”).

In response to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) prolonged registration review process, THCP filed a proxy statement on May 31, 2023 in connection with a special meeting of stockholders of THCP that will be held on June 21, 2023 (the “THCP Stockholders Meeting”), which includes, among other things, a proposal to amend its amended and restated certificate of incorporation to extend the date by which THCP must consummate a de-SPAC transaction from July 2, 2023 to July 2, 2024 (the “Extension Proposal”).

In light of the above, the parties have agreed to amend the Business Combination Agreement to extend the deadline for completing the CCG De-SPAC Transaction for one year, subject to stockholder approval of the Extension Proposal at the THCP Stockholders Meeting.

Gary Simanson, President & Chief Executive Officer of THCP, said, “As the process for our proposed business combination with Coincheck Group has progressed, it has also enabled us to build a strong working relationship with Oki Matsumoto and his team. Their commitment to professionalism, doing things the right way, and prudently managing the short-term, while also building and managing for the long-term, are the traits and characteristics that were clearly evident when we first evaluated the opportunity to combine our companies. How Oki and his team have conducted themselves the past 16 months strongly re-affirms our view and findings from when we initially conducted due diligence last year that they are an excellent business partner.

“Given the stable fundamental business performance of Coincheck over the past year, in what has been a most uncertain and unstable time for the industry overall, Oki and his team’s steady hand throughout this period says it all, and speaks well of the future of the combined company and the opportunities that lie before us. Oki and I have frequently said during this time, that as a registered virtual currency exchange in Japan, Coincheck is well positioned to take advantage of the current disruptions in the industry and we believe the opportunities for a transparent, regulated, public company, are even more compelling today than when we first envisioned the proposed business combination.

“We remain committed to completing the proposed business combination and are truly grateful to Oki and his team for their equal commitment to seeing the proposed transaction through and then, with our combined resources, going on to build an even greater global company.”

“After more than a year of working with Gary Simanson and his team at Thunder Bridge, Coincheck Group remains committed to completing the business combination with Thunder Bridge and to gaining access to the U.S. capital markets,” said Oki Matsumoto, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Monex Group, Inc. “The rationale for the proposed business combination and listing of Coincheck Group, as a holding company of a registered virtual crypto currency exchange in Japan, on the Nasdaq Global Market is more compelling than ever. By extending the deadline of the business combination for an additional twelve months, we are making a clear statement that we are committed to pursuing this strategic transaction. We look forward to working with Gary Simanson and his team to successfully consummate the proposed business combination and to having Coincheck Group become a publicly traded company on the Nasdaq Global Market.

“The listing of CCG on Nasdaq through the CCG De-SPAC Transaction will enable us to gain exposure to international investors and to utilize Nasdaq-listed shares as effective currency for recruiting talent and making global acquisitions, thereby further expanding its crypto asset business. We intend to continue our efforts toward completing the CCG De-SPAC Transaction in accordance with the Business Combination Agreement.”
