Fortitude Mining, a Zcash mining firm under Digital Currency Group, has announced the signing of a definitive merger agreement with HeartSciences Inc., a Nasdaq-listed small-cap medical technology company, to combine the two entities. Following the announcement, HeartSciences’ stock price rose approximately 60% during intraday trading on Tuesday, closing with a gain of about 55% at $2.70.Fortitude primarily engages in Zcash mining operations. Despite ZEC's recent weak performance, DCG founder and CEO Barry Silbert stated that Zcash remains one of the most attractive opportunities in the digital asset space.Fortitude CEO Andrea Childs noted that the merger is not based on business synergies, but rather aimed at gaining access to public capital markets, thereby securing more flexible financing channels to accelerate its core strategy. This includes a Zcash-focused "venture mining" platform and continued expansion into high-return opportunities within its power asset portfolio.Both parties expect the transaction to be completed in the second half of this year. The deal also indicates that some crypto mining firms are attempting to access capital markets through mergers with publicly listed companies to support their future expansion.
