Strive, Inc. (Nasdaq: ASST) disclosed Monday that it purchased 32 bitcoin between June 2 and June 7, 2026, at an average cost of approximately $63,911 per coin \u2014 inclusive of fees and expenses \u2014 for a total outlay of roughly $2.1 million, according to a Form 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.<\/p>\n
The purchase<\/a> brings Strive\u2019s total bitcoin holdings from 19,000 BTC to 19,032 BTC, a position the Dallas-based company reached after a string of transactions over recent months.<\/p>\n Ironically, Strive purchased exactly 32 bitcoin this week \u2014 the same number Strategy offloaded<\/a> two weeks ago in its first bitcoin sale in years.<\/p>\n The acquisition comes at a price well below Strive\u2019s most recent large-scale purchase. The company had acquired 2,500 bitcoin between May 23 and June 1 at an average price of $74,092 per coin \u2014 a $185.2 million transaction funded almost entirely through proceeds from its Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Preferred Stock, known by its Nasdaq ticker SATA.\u00a0<\/p>\n The latest buy at $63,911 per coin represents a roughly 14% reduction in cost basis relative to that prior round, reflecting softness in bitcoin\u2019s spot price during the reporting window.<\/p>\n Beyond the bitcoin transaction, Strive\u2019s 8-K revealed a modest uptick in cash and cash equivalents, from approximately $137.3 million as of June 1 to approximately $139.2 million as of June 5 \u2014 a $1.9 million increase.\u00a0<\/p>\n The fair value of the company\u2019s position in Strategy Inc.\u2019s Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Stretch Preferred Stock, traded under the ticker STRC, moved in the opposite direction, declining from roughly $49.5 million to $47.2 million over the same period, though the number of STRC shares held remained unchanged at 505,000.<\/p>\n Class A common stock shares outstanding rose from 69,089,145 to 69,410,645 \u2014 an increase of 321,500 shares \u2014 while Class B common stock and SATA preferred shares held steady at 9,780,018 and 7,513,907 shares, respectively. The uptick in Class A shares reflects continued activity under the company\u2019s at-the-market equity program, which Strive has used to fund bitcoin purchases throughout 2026.<\/p>\n Strive has positioned itself as one of the more active corporate bitcoin accumulators among publicly traded companies. As of early June 2026, the company ranked<\/a> seventh among public corporate bitcoin holders globally, a standing it has reinforced through consistent filings and balance sheet disclosures throughout the spring.\u00a0<\/p>\nStrive\u2019s balance sheet growth<\/h2>\n
