Strive Builds $1 Billion Bitcoin Treasury In Under A Year

Strive did not hold any Bitcoin before September 2025, when it completed its merger with Asset Entities and formally launched its Bitcoin accumulation strategy.

The company later acquired Semler Scientific in an all-stock transaction that added roughly 5,048 Bitcoin to its balance sheet. Since then, the company has continued buying Bitcoin in the open market, expanding its treasury.

Before the latest purchase, Strive held 15,009 BTC as of May 12. The additional 382 Bitcoin pushed total holdings to 15,391 BTC.

Alongside its Bitcoin treasury, the company also disclosed holdings of $87.3 million in cash and cash equivalents, as well as nearly $50 million in Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Stretch Preferred Stock (STRC) by Strategy (MSTR).
