Strategically, Seacoast completed the acquisition of Heartland Bancshares, Inc. on July 11, 2025, adding approximately $157 million in loans and $684 million in deposits, along with four branches in Central Florida. The integration of Heartland is expected to be finalized in the third quarter of 2025. Furthermore, the company announced a proposed acquisition of Villages Bancorporation, Inc., which is anticipated to close in the fourth quarter of 2025, further expanding its footprint in North Central Florida.

Operationally, Seacoast's total assets increased to $15.9 billion, a 5% rise from December 31, 2024.
