HeartSciences Surges on Planned Merger With Zcash Mining Platform Fortitude

HeartSciences Inc. (HSCS) is up 57.9% today. Here is some analysis on what might have caused this price movement.

Analysis: The most likely driver is HeartSciences’ announcement of a definitive all-stock business combination with Fortitude Mining Holdings, a digital-asset mining platform focused on Zcash. The deal effectively reframes HSCS from a small AI-enabled heart technology company into a vehicle for a crypto mining business, which appears to have sparked speculative buying.

Details:

HeartSciences announced on June 23, 2026 that it agreed to merge with Fortitude in an all-stock transaction expected to close in the second half of 2026, subject to shareholder approval and other conditions.

After closing, the combined company is expected to operate under the Fortitude brand and seek to trade on Nasdaq under the ticker TUDE.

HeartSciences said Fortitude’s current owner, Digital Currency Group, is expected to own about 95% of the combined company on a fully diluted basis, leaving existing HeartSciences shareholders with roughly 5%.

Fortitude described itself as a vertically integrated Zcash mining platform with annualized production of 157,000 ZEC as of May 31, 2026, giving traders a direct crypto-related catalyst to focus on.
