This Schedule 13D (the "Schedule 13D") relates to the ordinary shares ("Ordinary Shares") of Coincheck Group N.V. (the "Issuer"). The Reporting Person (as defined below) initially filed a Schedule 13G under Rule 13d-1(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. On February 28, 2026, the Reporting Person acquired beneficial ownership of additional Ordinary Shares, which represented more than two percent of the outstanding Ordinary Shares during the prior 12-month period. Therefore, the Reporting Person is no longer eligible to file a Schedule 13G under Rule 13d-1(d) and is now filing this Schedule 13D. | ||

| (e) | During the last five years, neither the Reporting Person nor, to the best knowledge of the Reporting Person, any of the other persons set forth on Schedule I attached hereto, has been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and, as a result of such proceeding, was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws. | |

The Reporting Person initially acquired 109,097,910 Ordinary Shares in connection with a business combination with Thunder Bridge Capital Partners IV, Inc., among other parties, which was consummated on December 10, 2024, and resulted in the Issuer becoming a publicly traded company on NASDAQ (the "Business Combination").
On January 8, 2026, the Issuer entered into a sale and purchase agreement with the Reporting Person, and other parties (the "Purchase Agreement"), pursuant to which the Issuer agreed to purchase the Reporting Person's 97% beneficial ownership interest in 3iQ Corp., an alternative digital asset manager, for 27,149,684 newly issued Ordinary Shares of the Issuer, valued at $4.00 per ordinary share (the "3iQ transaction"). Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Reporting Person is entitled to certain registration rights. The 3iQ transaction closed on February 28, 2026.
The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement, filed as Exhibit 99.3 to this Schedule 13D and is incorporated herein by reference. | ||
