That same week, Strategy (MSTR) bought 250 $BTC ; Strive (Nasdaq: ASST), associated with Vivek Ramaswamy, bought 3,311.
This isn’t a battle of slogans; these are the figures in SEC Form 8-K filings.
CEO Matt Cole posted on X on October 13: Last week (10/5–10/9), we bought 3,311 $BTC at an average price of about $84,500 (including fees), bringing total holdings to 32,773; based on the October 9 closing price of about $82,300, their market value was approximately $2.7B. During the same period, we also exercised about $208M worth of warrants, while the remaining approximately 15.3 million warrants expired at 17:00 ET that day. SATA preferred stock’s $100 minimum offering price was also written into the governance documents, making it a binding constraint.

Market status: 🟡 MIXED
Michael Saylor is putting forward a bigger idea than simply competing Bitcoin treasury companies.
He says he wants Strive and other well-managed issuers of Bitcoin-powered “Digital Credit” to succeed because stronger players could help expand the entire category.
₿ Bitcoin = “Digital Capital”
💳 $STRC and $SATA = “Digital Credit”
📈 $MSTR and $ASST = “Digital Equity”
According to Saylor, these layers can reinforce one another.
The first amplifier is Bitcoin itself.
When companies raise capital and use it to acquire $BTC , that can add demand for a supply-constrained asset. A successful Bitcoin strategy at one company can therefore have broader effects across companies holding Bitcoin.
The second amplifier is Digital Credit.
Saylor argues that having multiple credible issuers could increase investor understanding, liquidity and confidence in the category. More competition could also encourage issuers to improve their structures and financing terms.
There is already a real example of these companies interacting.
On March 11, 2026, Strive disclosed a $50 million purchase of $STRC, while also reporting additional Bitcoin purchases.
Then comes Digital Equity.
Saylor argues that if more companies demonstrate that the Bitcoin-based model can operate through different market conditions, the broader category could receive more analyst coverage, institutional attention and trading infrastructure.
And the potential market is enormous.
SIFMA reported $157.8 trillion in global equity market capitalization and $160.7 trillion in global fixed-income securities outstanding for 2025. Even a tiny fraction of those markets would represent a very large pool of capital.
But there is an important risk.
More issuers do not automatically mean higher valuations. Saylor himself emphasized that credibility, liquidity, capitalization and transparent disclosure matter — because problems at one weak issuer could damage confidence in the wider category.
👀 The bigger question is no longer simply whether companies can hold Bitcoin.
It is whether Bitcoin can become the foundation for an entire new layer of capital, credit and equity markets.

Market status: 🟡 MIXED — story is structurally significant for Bitcoin-linked capital markets, but it does not by itself establish a guaranteed price direction for $BTC or the related securities.
