Strive, Inc. (NASDAQ: ASST) just added another 1,109 Bitcoin to its balance sheet, bringing total holdings to 16,500 BTC. The purchase, disclosed via an 8-K filing on May 26, cost approximately $85.4 million at an average price of about $76,989 per coin.

That puts Strive at seventh on the list of largest public corporate Bitcoin holders. For a company that didn’t exist in its current form until a reverse merger closed in 2025, that’s a remarkably fast climb up the leaderboard.

Inside the latest buy

The transactions took place between May 19 and May 22, according to the filing. This wasn’t a single block purchase but a series of acquisitions spread across a few trading days, a common approach for companies looking to minimize market impact while still moving meaningful size.

The latest batch follows earlier May purchases of 382 BTC and 444 BTC. Before May’s buying spree kicked off, Strive held 15,391 BTC.
