Strive adds thousands of Bitcoin, while BitMine Immersion surpasses 2% of the ETH supply.

Crypto treasury activity surged on Monday, Sept. 22, as digital asset treasury companies (DATCOs) expanded holdings and new entrants entered the market

Asset manager Strive added over 5,800 BTC to its treasury, while Ethereum-focused BitMine Immersion now holds more than 2% of ETH’s total circulating supply. Meanwhile, Amber Premium and Fragmetric Labs revealed they are expanding their corporate digital asset operations.

These developments underscore the growing trend of corporate adoption of cryptocurrency, as DATCOs increasingly treat digital assets like BTC, ETH, and Solana (SOL) as long-term treasury investments.

As part of the deal, Semler shareholders will receive 21.04 shares of Strive Class A common stock for each Semler share. The acquisition is part of Strive’s strategy to expand its crypto holdings and consolidate its Nasdaq listing following a prior merger with Asset Entities.
