Acacia Research Corp (ACTG) has seen its Chief Financial Officer, Michael Sikoryak Zambito, purchase 7,700 shares of the company's stock for a total of $25,146, according to an SEC filing [1]. The transaction took place on August 11, 2025, with a weighted average price of $3.2658 per share.

The company recently announced a strategic partnership with Unchained Capital, a bitcoin financial services platform, and Build Asset Management, an investment adviser specializing in bitcoin-focused strategies. This collaboration aims to implement a bitcoin-backed commercial loan strategy, which could provide attractive risk-adjusted returns through fully recourse loans, leveraging bitcoin as a secure source of collateral [2].

Acacia Research reported robust growth in its Energy operations for the second quarter of 2025, with Energy Operations Revenue increasing to $15.3 million from $14.2 million year-over-year. However, the company faced a decline in Intellectual Property revenue and challenges in its Deflecto business, particularly in the Class A truck market, which remains weak with new orders at their lowest level since 2010 [3].

Despite these challenges, Acacia Research maintains a strong cash position, with Cash Equivalents and Equity Securities totaling $338.2 million as of June 30, 2025. The company is focused on strategic initiatives and operational improvements to drive long-term growth, including optimizing operations at its Deflecto business and improving accountability, reducing overhead costs, and streamlining product offerings.
