Strive Plans $4.2B ATM Upsize to Accelerate Bitcoin Buying

The move seeks to scale an equity-funded Bitcoin treasury to enable larger Bitcoin purchases, testing investor appetite for perpetual preferred stock ahead of a balance-sheet update.

Overview

  • Strive confirmed Monday that it expects to increase its at-the-market programs by $2.1 billion each for ASST and SATA, creating $4.2 billion of new fundraising capacity if approved.
  • The company reported in a May 26 8-K that it bought 1,109 BTC between May 19 and May 22 for about $85.4 million, bringing its holdings to roughly 16,500 BTC.
  • Data cited in coverage shows Strive raised about $194.3 million for SATA in the prior week, an amount that could fund the purchase of roughly 2,600 BTC at recent prices.
  • The planned expansion remains conditional on amended prospectus filings and corporate approvals, and markets reacted with a modest share-price decline as investors weighed dilution and dividend obligations tied to SATA.
  • The push contrasts with Strategy’s small late‑May sale of 32 BTC to fund preferred-stock distributions and highlights growing concentration and new funding models among public corporate Bitcoin holders.
