Strive закладывает основу для биткоин-империи с покупкой Semler Scientific Translation: Strive Lays the Foundation for a Bitcoin Empire with the Acquisition of Semler Scientific

Strive Asset Management, connected to entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, has finalized an agreement to acquire Semler Scientific. The company plans to establish one of the largest corporate Bitcoin reserves, totaling over 10,900 BTC.

Under the terms of the deal, each Semler share will be converted into 21.05 shares of Strive Class A. This represents a 210% premium based on the stock’s price as of September 19.

The holding will continue to operate under Strive’s current leadership. Semler’s chairman, Eric Semler, will join the board of the new entity.

Ramaswamy’s firm also announced the acquisition of 5,816 BTC for $675 million at an average price of $116,047, raising its total holdings to 5,886 BTC. In conjunction with the 5,000 BTC held by Semler, the combined company will have 10,900 BTC valued at $1.2 billion.

If successful, Strive would ascend to the 11th position among corporate holders of the leading cryptocurrency.

As of the time of writing, the companies have accumulated about 1 million BTC ($110.6 billion), which accounts for 4.6% of the total supply of digital gold. The largest holder remains Strategy, with 638,985 BTC valued at $72.3 billion.

On September 22, ETHZilla announced the issuance of convertible bonds to raise $350 million. The funds will be used to purchase Ethereum and invest in the blockchain ecosystem.

“Our business model holds considerable potential for scalability, a fixed operating leverage, and consistently positive cash flow,” he noted.

The firm has already earned 1.5 million unnamed tokens by participating in the ecosystem of the second largest cryptocurrency.

With the previous fundraising of $156.5 million, ETHZilla’s total funding will exceed $506 million. If all funds are directed toward acquiring Ethereum, the company could increase its reserves by 120,000 coins from the current 102,000 ETH.

BitMine Immersion Tech maintains its leadership, holding over 2.4 million ETH valued at $10 billion — 2% of the asset’s issuance. The company aims to accumulate 5%.
