Exhibit 99.2

Patriotic Marketplace PSQ Holdings, Inc. and Colombier Acquisition Corp. Announce Closing of Business Combination

Follows Colombier Stockholders’ Approval of the Business Combination and Related Proposals with PSQ Holdings, Inc. at Special Meeting

Colombier Acquisition Corp. to Become “PSQ Holdings, Inc.”

Shares and Warrants to Trade on the NYSE Under the Symbols “PSQH” and “PSQH WS”

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. – PSQ Holdings, Inc., a leading marketplace of patriotic businesses and consumers, and Colombier Acquisition Corp. (NYSE: CLBR) (“Colombier”), a publicly traded special purpose acquisition company, today announced the completion of their previously announced business combination. Colombier stockholders approved the business combination with PSQ Holdings, Inc., and the related proposals, at a Special Meeting of Colombier stockholders (the “Special Meeting”) on July 19, 2023. In connection with the closing of the business combination, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Colombier merged with and into PSQ Holdings, Inc., with PSQ Holdings, Inc. continuing as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Colombier, and was renamed “PublicSq. Inc.,” and Colombier was renamed “PSQ Holdings, Inc.” (“PublicSq.”). PublicSq.’s shares of Class A common stock and warrants will trade on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbols “PSQH” and “PSQH WS,” respectively, beginning July 20, 2023.

The transaction provides PublicSq. with approximately $34.9 million, after giving effect to Colombier stockholder redemptions and before payment of transaction expenses. The foregoing amount does not include $22.5 million in additional gross proceeds previously raised by PublicSq. in its private financing completed in June 2023 and prior to completion of the business combination with Colombier. After payment of transaction expenses, the funds released to PublicSq. from Colombier’s trust account will be used to support PublicSq.’s direct-to-consumer (“D2C”), and business-to-business operating expenses, to fund an increase in PublicSq.’s payroll in areas of engineering and product for the further development of PublicSq.’s platform functionality, including the enhancement of e-commerce capabilities, consumer rewards programs, and platform scalability, to launch targeted marketing initiatives, including brand awareness campaigns, direct-response advertising, promotional events, and the expansion of PublicSq.’s outreach program, to fund PublicSq.’s D2C inventory and supply chain requirements and for other general corporate purposes including, but not limited to, working capital for operations and potential future acquisitions.

Michael Seifert, the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of PublicSq., commented: “Today, PublicSq. has reached a true milestone, and the best part is we are just getting started. We could not be prouder to pave the way for the quickly growing parallel, patriot economy – which includes over a million and counting freedom-loving Americans who are registered on our platform as members, as well as over 55,000 business vendors on the platform. We are ready to begin our next phase of growth as a public company, and I want to congratulate the entire PublicSq. team on this achievement.”

Following the closing of the merger, Michael Seifert has a majority of the voting power in PublicSq. and will continue to drive PublicSq.’s mission of becoming the nation’s leading values-aligned marketplace.

Omeed Malik, Chairman and CEO of Colombier, and a member of the PublicSq. board of directors, said: “We chose to partner with PublicSq. because we believe patriotic Americans who feel alienated by the woke agendas of the mainstream economy represent the most massive underserved market in the world. I look forward to continuing to provide my expertise and guidance as a member of the board as PublicSq. continues on its growth trajectory as a publicly listed company.”
