Strive (ASST) announced the completion of the previously announced acquisition of Semler Scientific (SMLR). Strive now holds approximately 12,797.9 bitcoin, becoming the #11 largest public corporate holder of bitcoin globally. Strive also announces the appointment of Avik Roy as Chief Strategy Officer of Strive. Mr. Roy's initial focus will be on Strive's intentions to monetize the operating business from the Semler Scientific subsidiary by expanding its mandate in early disease detection products. Mr. Roy was previously an independent board member of Strive and will step down from that position to join the company in a full-time capacity and serve as a board observer for the company. Eric Semler, former chairman and Executive Chairman of Semler Scientific, has joined as an independent board member of Strive. Joe Burnett, previously director of Bitcoin Strategy for Semler Scientific, has joined Strive as VP of Bitcoin Strategy.
