Strive buys Semler and “buys” 5,048 BTC without buying BTC

Strive (ASST) is acquiring Semler Scientific (SMLR) in an all-stock deal. Semler already holds 5,048 BTC, so Strive gets the treasury as part of the acquisition. They also bought 123 BTC around ~$91.5K.

If everything closes as planned, total holdings would be 12,797 BTC (11th biggest corporate holder).

Feels like the next phase of corporate BTC adoption: not only “buy BTC,” but “buy the BTC-treasury company.” Thoughts?
