Fortitude Plans Nasdaq Listing, Produces 366 ZEC Daily as DCG Targets H2 2026 Closing

According to a BusinessWire statement announced on June 22, Fortitude, a vertically integrated Zcash mining platform wholly owned by Digital Currency Group (DCG), plans to go public through a business combination with Heartsciences (Nasdaq: HSCS), with closing targeted for the second half of 2026. Under the deal terms, DCG is expected to own approximately 95% of the combined company on a fully diluted basis.

Fortitude produces about 366 ZEC daily as of May 31, 2026, scaling to an annualized rate of 157,000 ZEC. Zcash delivered a trailing 12-month return of more than 1,000% as of June 15, 2026, positioning the transaction as a public equity proxy tied to ZEC mining economics, network hashrate, and power costs.
