Theriva Biologics Inc. (TOVX)
Theriva Biologics Inc., a biotechnology company listed on NYSE American, has reported a series of market‑related events on October 24, 2025. The company’s stock, which closed at $0.35 on October 23, 2025, experienced unusual trading activity and subsequently filed for an at‑the‑market (ATM) offering.
Unusual Trading Activity
Multiple sources, including Investing.com and Wallstreet‑Online, noted that TOVX exhibited atypical trading patterns on the day in question. The reports emphasized that no material corporate or operational changes had occurred that could justify the activity. The company issued a formal statement confirming that the irregularity was not linked to any new business developments or disclosures. As a result, the market reaction appeared to be driven by speculative or liquidity‑driven trades rather than fundamentals.
At‑the‑Market Offering
On October 24, 2025, Theriva filed a prospectus for an ATM offering that could raise up to $4 million. The offering is intended to provide additional capital for ongoing development of the company’s adenovirus platform, which is designed for intravenous, intravitreal, and antitumoral delivery. The platform aims to induce tumor cell death, improve drug penetration, and stimulate a sustained anti‑tumor immune response.
