^{PRESENTED BY STRATIFIND}

Cancer remains one of the largest and most important healthcare markets in the world, yet selecting the right treatment for the right patient remains one of oncology’s greatest challenges. Physicians routinely choose among chemotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapies, radiation, and combination approaches, often with limited information about which treatment is most likely to benefit a particular patient.

Stratifind is developing RainDanceEQ™, a precision oncology platform designed to help physicians make more informed treatment decisions through a more comprehensive understanding of each patient’s cancer. By integrating multiple layers of tumor information and advanced analytics into a single actionable report, the company aims to provide insights that go beyond traditional testing approaches.

Founded by healthcare investment banker Igor Sokolovsky and physician-scientist Dr. Partha Ray, Stratifind is pursuing an opportunity at the intersection of molecular diagnostics, precision medicine, and oncology decision support. Successful oncology diagnostics companies have created substantial value for patients, providers, and investors alike, and Stratifind seeks to establish a differentiated position within this growing sector.

The company is currently conducting a financing round through Netcapital and welcomes conversations with investors, family offices, healthcare professionals, and strategic partners interested in the future of cancer diagnostics and precision oncology.

The price of Bitcoin $BTC ( ▼ 3.01% ) fell about 3% on Thursday to $58,000, which is the lowest level for the most popular cryptocurrency in 2026.

Details: Bitcoin is down nearly 5% this week and has decreased 22% in the past month. Since the start of the year, Bitcoin has been down about 31%.

Powering the Story: Macro headwinds can be partially blamed for the recent downfall of Bitcoin. A hotter inflation reading this week pressured risk assets and strengthened the case for higher-for-longer rates, which is bad for non-yielding assets such as Bitcoin. Investors shifted money toward artificial intelligence and away from crypto.

Bigger Picture: Investors have recently pulled $651 million from Bitcoin ETFs (exchange-traded funds) - a record - according to a CNBC article citing a report from SoSoValue.

Early Bird’s Nest Egg Gains: Some analysts argue the current selloff is more cyclical than structural, meaning a rebound could come once the macro pressure eases.

Final Thoughts: And it wasn’t just Bitcoin that fell. Most major crypto prices also declined on Thursday due to similar macro fears.

ON Semiconductor $ON ( ▲ 2.59% ) fell 7.61% in after-hours trading on Thursday after announcing plans to acquire neural network technologies company Synaptics $SYNA ( ▼ 3.45% ), which jumped 9.86%.

Details: The deal, for $7 billion, reflects a ratio of 1.350 shares of Onsemi common stock for each Synaptics share.

Powering the Story: Onsemi believes the deal expands the company’s presence from AI data centers into the physical AI world, increasing its total addressable market by $30 billion to $243 billion by 2030.

Quote: “As artificial intelligence moves beyond the cloud and into the physical world, including automotive and industrial, the next phase of innovation will depend on systems that can sense, decide, act and adapt in real time.” - Onsemi President and CEO Hassane El-Khoury.

Final Thoughts: Onsemi’s stock was up 109% this year. Synaptics was up about 65%.
