Strive Wins Approval to Acquire Semler in Milestone for Public Bitcoin Exposure
Strive Enterprises (ASST) received official shareholder approval on January 13 to acquire Semler Scientific (SMLR), a transaction that industry observers are framing as a notable moment for publicly traded bitcoin-linked businesses. While companies did not immediately disclose full deal terms in the announcement, the approval clears a key regulatory and corporate hurdle and moves the combination closer to closing.
The acquisition matters because it highlights growing consolidation and strategic repositioning among firms with bitcoin exposure, potentially affecting investor access and secondary-market liquidity for BTC-related equities. Traders will watch ASST and SMLR tickers for guidance on integration plans and any shifts in capital allocation toward crypto operations. Further regulatory filings and investor updates are expected to clarify timing and financial impact.
