Stocktwits announced the acquisition of Thematic, an AI-based research platform, to enhance its use of AI by analyzing 17 years of data, including community conversations and investor sentiment.
Serving over 10 million users worldwide, this move accelerates the development of proprietary, alpha-driving tools. With Thematic’s technology, Stocktwits will introduce AI-driven research, discovery, and decision-making tools that blend social sentiment with proprietary insights, including new indicators like the Social Relative Strength Index (SRS).
The integration strengthens Stocktwits as a community hub for stock and cryptocurrency discussion, expanding its role in retail investing by incorporating AI into features such as profiles, search, screeners, watchlists, trade ideas, and stream summaries.
These tools will deliver personalized, actionable insights that cut through market noise, with plans to launch in Q4 2025. This includes an institutional-quality index builder with backtesting, making advanced portfolio tools accessible to all.
