Combined with its earlier purchase, Strive added 4,045 BTC in one week and now holds 36,818 BTC. The public-company leaderboard now looks like this: Strategy - 848,517 BTC Metaplanet - 44,000 BTC Twenty One - 43,514 BTC Strive - 36,818 BTC MARA - 35,577 BTC Strive’s stated goal is to finish 2026 as the second-largest public Bitcoin holder. At current holdings, that means closing a gap of 7,182 BTC with Metaplanet, assuming the rankings do not change. The company ended Oct. 16 with $317.5M in cash, while a separate preferred-share offering is expected to raise about $630M before expenses and is scheduled to settle on Oct. 20. At the pace cited by The Block, Strive would need to add roughly 700 BTC per week to move past Metaplanet’s current position. #BTC Price Analysis# #Strategy #Bitcoin Price Prediction: What is Bitcoins next move?#
