Strive Adds $169M Bitcoin in Its Biggest Buy in Four Months

Strive bought 2,000 Bitcoin last week—its biggest haul in four months.

The publicly traded company paid an average of about $84,422 per coin between Sept. 28 and Oct. 2, according to its a filing with the SEC. That works out to roughly $169 million.

The company's last biggest buy was 2,500 Bitcoin between May 23 and June, which lifted Strive's total to 19,000.

Holdings now stand at 29,462 Bitcoin as of Oct. 2. At an average price of roughly $86,000 per coin, that's about $2.5 billion.

Strive is what's called a Bitcoin treasury company—a business that raises money from investors and parks it in Bitcoin instead of cash. In September 2025, it agreed to buy Semler Scientific, a healthcare technology firm sitting on roughly 5,000 Bitcoin, and from there its stack just grew.

Shareholders approved the deal in January, creating a combined stash of about 12,800 BTC. By late April, Strive held 14,557 Bitcoin. By mid-August it held 20,246 BTC.

The market has also moved since, and in the directions hodlers had hoped. Last week's average price was about 41% above that July figure, and Strive's holdings are up 48% in dollar amounts since July 2.

Where does the money come from? The filing doesn't say this week. But in recent weeks, Strive has raised most of it by selling SATA, a type of preferred stock—a share that pays holders a regular dividend, meaning a cash payout, ahead of ordinary shareholders.
