"Strive, Inc., the corporate treasury firm founded by Vivek Ramaswamy, reported that it amassed 13,628 bitcoin as of March 17, 2026, placing the company among the top 10 corporate holders globally. The accumulation came in the roughly six months following Strive's September 2025 public listing, even as the company posted a GAAP net loss of $393.6 million for the period ending December 31, 2025."
"The bulk of Strive's bitcoin holdings came from multiple sources. Initial private investment proceeds and stock exchange activity contributed 5,886 bitcoin, while the acquisition of Semler Scientific, Inc. added approximately 5,048 bitcoin. An additional 2,694 bitcoin came from capital markets activity, including public offerings of Strive's Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Preferred Stock, follow-on offerings, and at-the-market issuances."
"Strive's financial statements highlighted the tension between aggressive asset accumulation and market volatility. The firm's GAAP net loss largely stemmed from non-cash items. Unrealized losses on bitcoin holdings accounted for $194.5 million, or nearly 50 percent of the total GAAP deficit. Impairment of goodwill and intangible assets tied to the Semler acquisition added $140.8 million."
"Management introduced a proprietary metric, "Bitcoin Yield," to measure the performance of its digital asset portfolio. By that measure, Strive reported a 22.2 percent yield in Q4 2025 and 13.8 percent quarter-to-date through mid-March 2026, equating to bitcoin gains of 1,305 and 1,050 coins, respectively. In dollar terms, these gains translated to $114.3 million and $78.2 million over the same periods."
