\nStrive (ASST) Adds 21 Bitcoin as Treasury Reaches 19,921 BTC and Cash Climbs to $157 Million<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Strive, Inc. purchased 21 bitcoin between July 13 and July 17 at an average price of about $63,221 per coin, a buy worth around $1.3 million, according to an 8-K filing<\/a> with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Monday.<\/p>\n

The purchase lifted the Dallas-based treasury company\u2019s bitcoin holdings from 19,900 to 19,921 BTC. Strive funded the buy while its balance sheet gained ground: cash and cash equivalents rose $3.3 million to $157.4 million as of July 17, up from $154.1 million a week prior.<\/p>\n

The modest addition marks a step down from the pace that carried the company past 19,000 BTC across the spring. Strive (Nasdaq: ASST) trades under the Class A ticker alongside its Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Preferred Stock, listed as SATA<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Class A shares outstanding climbed to 73,869,961 from 73,426,164, a gain of 443,797 that reflects issuance under the company\u2019s at-the-market program. Class B shares slipped by 3,335 to 9,800,012, and the SATA count held at 7,829,502.<\/p>\n

The filing detailed Strive\u2019s position in Strategy\u2019s Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Stretch Preferred Stock, known as STRC. Strive held 505,000 STRC shares across both reporting dates, though the fair value of that stake fell $1.1 million to $43.1 million as of July 17.<\/p>\n

Strive: Buying bitcoin \u2018hand over fist\u2019<\/h2>\n

Chief Executive Matthew Cole signed the report. Cole has cast Strive as a buyer with appetite, a stance he summed up in a pledge to keep buying bitcoin \u201chand over fist.\u201d<\/a> The company funds its accumulation through perpetual preferred equity rather than convertible debt, a structure Cole has framed as a guard against forced selling.<\/p>\n

Strive\u2019s rise traces to a merger. The firm went public through a combination of Strive Asset Management and Asset Entities, then built a bitcoin treasury from the ground up. It expanded that base through the acquisition of Semler Scientific<\/a>, an all-stock deal that folded a medical-technology firm and its bitcoin into Strive. Shareholders approved the Semler transaction<\/a>, which closed in January and pushed combined holdings past 12,000 BTC.<\/p>\n

The average cost of the latest buy, about $63,221 per coin, sits below the levels Strive paid across much of its earlier accumulation. The purchase adds to a treasury built at a blended cost that management has tied to a long-run thesis on the asset.<\/p>\n

Growth has carried a cost. Strive reported a $393 million loss<\/a> across its first six months as a public company, a figure tied to the accounting treatment of its bitcoin position and its share issuance. Management has pointed to a larger goal, with an eye on a $4.2 billion war chest<\/a> to fund further bitcoin buys.<\/p>\n

The company\u2019s model issues shares into the open market and converts proceeds to bitcoin at a fast clip, a design meant to raise bitcoin exposure per share while it limits dilution. Strive ranks among the top ten public corporate holders of bitcoin, a field that Strategy leads with 843,775 BTC.<\/p>\n

The filing carried the standard caution on forward-looking statements, with flags on risks tied to the Semler integration, digital-asset volatility, interest rates, and dilution from further share sales. The company said it may adjust the SATA dividend rate, a lever the company holds as it manages its preferred stock.<\/p>\n
