Strive Adds 1,107 Bitcoin, Total Holdings Climb Above 27,400 BTC

Strive bought another 1,107 BTC for about $94.5 million last week, pushing its treasury to 27,462 BTC as it chases a year-end goal of becoming a top-two public bitcoin holder.

Strive Bitcoin Purchase and Holdings

The company paid an average of $85,396 per coin between Sept. 21 and Sept. 25, according to a Monday regulatory filing. The buy was slightly below the prior week’s 1,355 BTC. Bitcoin itself slipped to a one-week low near $83,000 on Monday.

How Strive Funded the Bitcoin Buy

Sales of its SATA perpetual preferred stock supplied 85% of last week’s capital, up from 57.7% a week earlier. Warrant exercises added $12.4 million in gross proceeds, down from $21.2 million the week before.

Strive vs Twenty One: Race for Second Place

Strive remains the fifth largest public bitcoin holder, behind Strategy, Twenty One, Metaplanet and MARA. CEO Matt Cole has said second place by the end of 2026 is possible, though not his base case. Strive needs another 16,053 BTC to pass Twenty One’s 43,514 BTC, assuming Twenty One buys nothing more. With 13 full weeks left in the year, that means averaging about 1,235 BTC per week.

Strive’s common stock is down 0.3% on Monday at $29.35 and up nearly 70% year-to-date. Strategy is down 6% and Twenty One has lost 26% over the same period.
