Algo Price Rises 0.99% Amid Parent Company Raise Financial Acquires Stratzy for Enhanced Algorithmic Trading Capabilities

Raise Financial, the parent company of online trading platform Dhan, has acquired Stratzy, an algorithmic trading and investment startup, in a cash-and-stock deal valued at $4–4.5 million. The acquisition, announced in late November 2025, aims to strengthen Dhan’s technological infrastructure and expand its offerings in automated trading for retail investors. As part of the deal, Stratzy will continue to operate independently as a business unit under Raise Financial but will maintain its current services, including providing trading tools and algorithms to multiple brokerages and platforms.

Founded in 2021 by Gaurav Sangle and Mohit Bhandari, Stratzy specializes in data-driven investment products and automated trading logic. The startup’s 20-person team, spanning engineering, product development, and analytics, will transition to Raise Financial. This move is expected to enhance Dhan’s competitive positioning in the growing market for algorithmic trading tools, particularly as retail interest in quant-based strategies continues to rise.

The deal follows a $120 million funding round led by Hornbill Capital and supported by MUFG, Beenext, and other investors. This capital infusion is part of a broader strategy to scale operations and strengthen product offerings. For FY25, Dhan is projected to generate revenue of around Rs 900 crore, a significant increase from Rs 380 crore in the prior fiscal year.

The acquisition also aligns with recent regulatory developments in India. The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) has been pushing for greater access to algorithmic trading tools for retail investors. In September 2025, Sebi extended the timeline for brokers to implement its framework on “safer participation of retail investors in algorithmic trading.” A recent study by Sebi highlighted the dominance of algorithmic trading in the futures and options segment, with 97% of foreign investor profits and 96% of proprietary trader profits attributed to such strategies in FY24.

Analysts project that the integration of Stratzy’s technology will enable Dhan to offer more sophisticated, data-driven investment products to its user base. This is expected to enhance customer retention and attract new users seeking automated trading solutions. The deal also signals a growing trend among fintech companies to consolidate capabilities in algorithmic and automated investment tools, reflecting the increasing importance of these technologies in the retail finance ecosystem.

As of November 20, 2025, ALGO’s price rose by 0.99% within 24 hours to $0.1539, despite a 6.05% drop in the past seven days and a 54.05% decline over the past year. The price movement underscores the volatile nature of the asset, though the long-term outlook remains tied to strategic developments like the Stratzy acquisition.
