Analysis · ASST · Crypto Assets
Strive continues its aggressive bitcoin accumulation strategy, purchasing 79 bitcoin for approximately $5.2 million at an average price of $65,723. This brings total bitcoin holdings to 20,000, worth roughly $235 million at current prices. The purchase was funded partly by issuing 437,477 new Class A shares, adding to the ongoing dilution from its massive ATM programs. With $154 million in cash remaining and a history of large-scale bitcoin buys, the company is likely to continue deploying capital into bitcoin, but shareholders face continued dilution as the ATM is used to fund purchases.
