₿ Strive buys 6,182 BTC for $511 million and enters the top 5

Strive (ticker: ASST,l) acquired 6,182 BTC for $511.4 million at an average price of $82,732 per coin. Its total reserves grew to 43,000 BTC, worth approximately $3.45 billion.

This makes Strive the fourth-largest publicly traded corporate holder of Bitcoin—and it trails second-place Metaplanet by only about 1,000 BTC. The company also announced a new $1 billion preferred stock program to further boost its reserves.

The purchase came amid a pause in Strategy’s accumulation. Strive co-founder Vivek Ramaswamy received a vote of confidence from Michael Saylor, who publicly highlighted the significance of the deal.
