Algo Price Increases by 0.99% as Parent Company Raise Financial Purchases Stratzy to Strengthen Algorithmic Trading Features

Raise Financial, which owns the online trading platform Dhan, has purchased Stratzy—a startup focused on algorithmic trading and investments—in a cash-and-stock transaction valued between $4 million and $4.5 million. Announced in late November 2025, this acquisition is intended to bolster Dhan’s tech capabilities and broaden its automated trading services for individual investors. Stratzy will remain an independent business unit within Raise Financial, continuing to deliver its trading tools and algorithms to various brokerages and platforms.

Stratzy, established in 2021 by Gaurav Sangle and Mohit Bhandari, is known for its data-centric investment products and automated trading systems. Its 20-member team, covering engineering, product, and analytics, will join Raise Financial. This integration is anticipated to improve Dhan’s standing in the expanding algorithmic trading sector, especially as more retail investors show interest in quantitative strategies.

This deal comes after a $120 million funding round led by Hornbill Capital, with participation from MUFG, Beenext, and others. The new funding is part of a larger plan to expand operations and enhance product offerings. For the 2025 fiscal year, Dhan is expected to reach revenues of about Rs 900 crore, up from Rs 380 crore the previous year.

The acquisition is also in line with recent regulatory changes in India. The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) has been advocating for broader retail access to algorithmic trading tools. In September 2025, Sebi extended the deadline for brokers to comply with its guidelines for safer retail participation in algorithmic trading. Sebi’s recent report noted that algorithmic trading dominated the futures and options market in FY24, accounting for 97% of foreign investor profits and 96% of proprietary trader profits.

Experts believe that integrating Stratzy’s technology will allow Dhan to deliver more advanced, data-driven investment solutions to its users. This is likely to boost user loyalty and attract those interested in automated trading. The acquisition also highlights a broader movement among fintech firms to consolidate their strengths in algorithmic and automated investment technologies, underlining their growing significance in the retail financial landscape.

As of November 20, 2025, ALGO’s value increased by 0.99% over 24 hours to $0.1539, despite a 6.05% decrease in the previous week and a 54.05% drop over the past year. This price fluctuation illustrates the asset’s volatility, though its long-term prospects remain linked to strategic moves such as the Stratzy acquisition.
