Strive buys 1,375 Bitcoin, increasing holdings to 24,532 BTC

Strive Inc. has added another 1,375 Bitcoin to its corporate treasury, pushing total holdings to 24,532 BTC. The company has now increased its Bitcoin position by more than 225% in 2026 alone.

The purchase cements Strive's position as the fifth-largest publicly traded corporate Bitcoin holder, trailing only Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), Twenty One Capital, Metaplanet, and MARA Holdings. For a company that began its public life through the acquisition of medical device firm Semler Scientific, that's a remarkable transformation.

Strive's Bitcoin accumulation has been anything but sporadic. The company has executed roughly 29 disclosed purchases since going public, building a war chest at an aggregate average cost basis in the mid-$90,000s per BTC.

The latest 1,375 BTC addition follows a stretch of particularly aggressive buying. From August 24 to 28, Strive scooped up 1,800 BTC for $143 million, paying an average of approximately $79,431 per coin including fees. That came on the heels of a separate 1,110 BTC purchase for $81.5 million just the prior week, which had brought total holdings to 21,356 BTC.

CEO Matt Cole had telegraphed additional buying around September 7, signaling a forthcoming acquisition of over 1,100 BTC. The latest purchase appears to be the execution of that plan, bringing the running total to 24,532 BTC.
