Strive shares surge 11.2% premarket as pharmacy expansion via Alachua acquisition and Tampa site boosts market confidence.

Strive Inc. surged 11.2% in premarket trading following the announcement of its merger with Strive Asset Management to form the first publicly traded asset management Bitcoin treasury company. The merger, approved by shareholders on September 9, 2025, enables Strive to leverage a $750 million private investment to fund Bitcoin acquisitions and expand its treasury strategy. This strategic shift, coupled with the company’s recent acquisition of a state-of-the-art pharmaceutical compounding facility in Alachua, Florida, and expanded operations in Tampa, signals a dual focus on high-growth opportunities in both Bitcoin and healthcare innovation. The merger and capital raise have bolstered investor confidence, aligning with the stock’s sharp premarket rise as traders anticipate enhanced operational scale and profitability from the combined entity.
