Strive, Inc. acquired an additional 382 bitcoin between May 13 and May 18 for approximately $30.3 million, paying an average cost of about $79,348 per coin. Total bitcoin holdings increased to 15,391 BTC, making the company one of the largest public corporate holders of bitcoin. The purchase continues a rapid accumulation trend, with holdings growing by more than 2,200 BTC since January 2026. Strive reported quarter-to-date BTC Yield of 6.6% and year-to-date BTC Yield of 18.4%, using a proprietary measure based on growth of bitcoin exposure per common share. The amplification ratio was 44.3%, up from 37.2% in January, supported by preferred equity issuances used to fund bitcoin purchases without conventional common-share dilution.
"Strive, Inc. (Nasdaq: ASST) has acquired an additional 382 bitcoin for approximately $30.3 million, paying an average cost of roughly $79,348 per coin, according to an 8-K filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The purchase, executed between May 13 and May 18, lifts the Dallas-based Bitcoin treasury and asset management firm's total holdings to 15,391 BTC - cementing its status as one of the largest public corporate holders of the digital asset."
"The latest accumulation adds to a relentless buying streak that has seen Strive grow its treasury by more than 2,200 BTC since January 2026, when the company held 12,798 BTC following its acquisition of Semler Scientific. The pace has accelerated markedly: in late April, Strive purchased 789 BTC for roughly $61.4 million at an average price of $77,890 per coin, and just weeks later added 444 BTC for $33.9 million at $76,307 per coin, crossing the 15,000 BTC threshold for the first time."
"Alongside the latest purchase, Strive disclosed updated performance figures that underscore its unique approach to capital allocation. The company reported a quarter-to-date BTC Yield of 6.6% and a year-to-date BTC Yield of 18.4% - a proprietary metric that measures the percentage growth of Bitcoin exposure per common share over time, rather than simply the appreciation of BTC's price. The firm's amplification ratio, a measure of how leveraged its Bitcoin exposure is relative to market value of holdings, stands at 44.3%."
"That amplification ratio has grown steadily. When Strive held 13,132 BTC in January, its amplification ratio stood at 37.2%, predominantly driven by preferred equity rather than traditional debt. The expansion to 44.3% reflects continued SATA preferred stock issuances, which the company has used to fund Bitcoin purchases without diluting common shareholders in the conventional sense."
