  • Strive purchased 1,567 BTC for about $162 million at an average price of roughly $103,315, bringing total holdings to 7,525 BTC.
  • With that total, Strive is reported to rank among the top ~15 corporate Bitcoin holders, surpassing Galaxy Digital’s tally based on BitcoinTreasuries.net data.
  • Founder Vivek Ramaswamy bought 15,625 SATA shares for $1.25 million, according to an SEC Form 4 filing.
