Strive, Inc. purchased 21 bitcoin between July 13 and July 17 at an average price of about $63,221 per coin, a buy worth around $1.3 million, according to an 8-K filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Monday.
The purchase lifted the Dallas-based treasury company’s bitcoin holdings from 19,900 to 19,921 BTC. Strive funded the buy while its balance sheet gained ground: cash and cash equivalents rose $3.3 million to $157.4 million as of July 17, up from $154.1 million a week prior.
The modest addition marks a step down from the pace that carried the company past 19,000 BTC across the spring. Strive (Nasdaq: ASST) trades under the Class A ticker alongside its Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Preferred Stock, listed as SATA.
Class A shares outstanding climbed to 73,869,961 from 73,426,164, a gain of 443,797 that reflects issuance under the company’s at-the-market program. Class B shares slipped by 3,335 to 9,800,012, and the SATA count held at 7,829,502.
The filing detailed Strive’s position in Strategy’s Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Stretch Preferred Stock, known as STRC. Strive held 505,000 STRC shares across both reporting dates, though the fair value of that stake fell $1.1 million to $43.1 million as of July 17.
