tcoin Treasuries. – Most of the buy came from existing cash, and Strive tapped its new SATS preferred stock program for the first time. Strive, the Dallas-based company co-founded by Vivek Ramaswamy, now holds 43,124 Bitcoin after buying 124 BTC more last week
That stash is now worth roughly $3.3 billion, and good for about 0.2% of the 21 million coins that will ever exist. That leaves it fourth among publicly traded companies, 390 coins behind Twenty One Capital (which holds 43,514 BTC) and 876 BTC behind Metaplanet (which holds 44,000 BTC), according to Bitcoin Treasuries data. At Bitcoin’s price of about $77,000, those gaps are worth roughly $30 million and $67 million, respectively.
Strive is a Bitcoin treasury company—a publicly listed firm that keeps Bitcoin on its balance sheet, so anyone with a brokerage account can get exposure by buying its stock. Michael Saylor’s Strategy popularized the playbook back in 2020, and several other companies followed suit, including Strive. Its coins cost an average of $87,785 each, or $3.8 billion in total, against a market value of $3.5 billion on Oct. 23, per its prospectus.
