Zcash mining company Fortitude has secured a Nasdaq listing through an all-stock merger with healthcare firm HeartSciences. According to CoinTelegraph, the deal allows Fortitude to enter the public market while HeartSciences continues its healthcare operations.
Under the terms of the agreement, HeartSciences' existing shareholders will maintain a minority stake in the combined entity. This structure enables Fortitude to leverage the Nasdaq platform without HeartSciences exiting its core business.
This move reflects growing interest in crypto-related companies seeking public listings, a trend that Japanese investors are also monitoring as regulatory clarity evolves in the FX and crypto markets.
