Strive, additional purchase of 444 Bitcoin... Holdings approaching 15,000 BTC

Strive Asset Management continues to buy Bitcoin (BTC), recording a quarterly “Bitcoin return rate” of 4.3%, with an annualized return of 18.7%. Through large-scale accumulation over the past two days, its holdings have expanded to approximately 15,000 BTC, increasing its presence in the competition among listed companies’ Bitcoin financial strategies. According to CoinTelegraph on the 5th of this month (local time), Strive has recently maintained an optimistic buying tone and is accelerating the expansion of its Bitcoin exposure.

Two rounds of operations invested nearly $95 million

Strive’s buying trend is almost “indiscriminate accumulation.” CEO Matt Cole stated on Monday that Strive purchased 444 Bitcoins for about $34 million, with an average purchase price of approximately $76,307 per Bitcoin. As a result, the company’s total holdings increased to about 15,000 BTC, ranking ninth among publicly listed companies known to hold Bitcoin worldwide. Its scale is second only to Coinbase ($COIN), ahead of mining company Hut 8 ($HUT).

Previously, on April 27, Strive had bought 789 Bitcoins for about $61 million, with an average price of approximately $77,890 per Bitcoin. The two rounds of purchases, totaling nearly $95 million, were completed in less than two weeks. This absorption approach is similar to the strategy demonstrated by Michael Saylor’s Strategy company over the years, but the company’s scale remains much smaller.

The market has also responded. Common stock ASST rose 0.87% after the announcement on Monday, closing at $16.45. As Bitcoin purchases continue, investors are not only expecting an increase in holdings but are also paying attention to the efficiency of capital conversion into BTC.

Strategy pauses, but the trend remains unchanged

During the same period, Strategy entered a brief pause. Saylor stated last week that he had not made further Bitcoin purchases, marking a short break after four consecutive weeks of buying. However, he hinted that purchases might resume as early as next week.

In the market, compared to “pause,” people are more concerned about the “possibility of resumption.” Since Strategy has always steadily increased its Bitcoin holdings, even a one-day gap is enough to attract market attention. However, the mainstream interpretation currently leans toward viewing this as a temporary adjustment rather than a change in strategic direction.

Expanding Bitcoin exposure through stock issuance

Strive also disclosed the issuance of SATA stocks. As of April 2026, the company has issued 584,730 SATA shares, which are directly linked to its Bitcoin accumulation strategy. The report shows that the company’s “amplification ratio” is 43%, an indicator of the efficiency of converting capital into Bitcoin exposure.

This structure is similar to the financing method previously used by Strategy. It essentially provides investors with a way to indirectly access Bitcoin through stocks rather than directly purchasing BTC. Given Bitcoin’s high volatility, this exposure expansion method centered on listed companies is increasingly viewed by investors as an alternative channel.

Vivek Ramaswamy’s Strive has not yet set specific Bitcoin holding targets. However, based on its recent buying pace over the past month, the accumulation activity is unlikely to have ended. As competition among listed companies around Bitcoin financial strategies continues, Strive’s movements are making this trend clearer.
