On 2026-03-10 Pershing Square Inc. (PSI) filed to go public, along with Pershing Square USA, Ltd. (PSUS), a new closed-ended investment company managed by Pershing Square.

Factual: Statements about the present or the past, checked against the record: did they hold up?
The second judge would not resolve this claim; the verdict shown is the first judge's.
Said for an organisation they lead or work for; it counts on both records.
What would count as true or false
True if, on 2026-03-10 (or a day either side, to allow for time zones and filing dates), Pershing Square Inc. filed a registration statement with the SEC for an IPO and Pershing Square USA, Ltd. (PSUS), a new closed-end fund managed by Pershing Square, also filed (or was covered in a joint or concurrent filing), as shown on SEC EDGAR or in an official announcement. Mostly true if both filings were made but a minor detail is off, for example the filing date is a few days earlier or one was a confidential draft submission that was announced that day. Mixed if only one of the two entities filed on or around that date. Mostly false if filings happened but at a clearly different time, for example weeks earlier in public. False if neither entity filed to go public around that date.

E4 Pershing Square USA, Ltd. U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (EDGAR) Own record
“(+) | To be filed by subsequent amendment.”
Reasoning
The SEC EDGAR index (E3) shows a Securities Act registration statement on Form N-2 filed by Pershing Square USA, Ltd., dated 2026-03-10. Law360 (E1) and Risk Market News (E2) both report a filing on Tuesday, 10 March 2026. E1 describes it as a "combined" IPO that sells shares of the new closed-end fund alongside Ackman's company. However, none of the evidence shows a separate registration statement filed by Pershing Square Inc. itself, and the EDGAR index does not name it as a filer. Pershing Square Inc. appears only as part of the combined offering, so the verdict is mostly true rather than true.
