Strive is an asset manager which rebranded in 2025 as the first publicly traded asset-management bitcoin treasury company. In January 2026, Strive completed the <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/news\/strive-recieves-yes-on-semler-acquisition\">acquisition of Semler Scientific<\/a> in an all-stock deal \u2014 the first instance of a publicly traded Bitcoin treasury company acquiring another publicly traded Bitcoin treasury company.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An 8-K filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sec.gov\/ix?doc=\/Archives\/edgar\/data\/0001920406\/000162828026058518\/asst-20260824.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">revealed<\/a> Strive made the buys from August 17 through August 21 at an average price of about $73,409 per bitcoin, including fees and expenses, for a total near $81.5 million.\u00a0<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<p>More than 1 out of every 1,000 Bitcoin that will ever exist is now owned by Strive.<\/p>\n<p>And we\u2019re just getting started. <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/search?q=%24ASST&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">$ASST<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/R43EuOfoqp\">pic.twitter.com\/R43EuOfoqp<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Strive (@Strive) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Strive\/status\/2091859620834730468?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 24, 2026<\/a>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The buy raised Strive\u2019s holdings roughly 5.5% from the 20,246 coins it reported in mid-August, and it lands at prices well above the low-$60,000 range the firm paid through most of the summer.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Strive funded the purchase with proceeds from at-the-market offerings of its ASST and SATA shares.

Strive bought 147 bitcoin between August 3 and 7 at an average of just over $64,800, then another 79 the following week at $63,231. Last week\u2019s total exceeds those two rounds combined by a factor of five.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The acceleration tracks a rally in the underlying asset.
