Strive Asset Management has acquired 4,045 bitcoins for approximately $335 million between October 12 and 16, 2026, according to Cointribune. This purchase brings the firm's total 
Bitcoin holdings to 36,818 BTC.
Despite the significant increase in Bitcoin reserves, the firm's bitcoin per common share has remained relatively stable. This is attributed to the increase in the number of shares, which has offset the potential per-share gains from the Bitcoin acquisition.
The acquisition comes at a time when the total crypto market cap stands at $2.79 trillion, with Bitcoin experiencing a 24-hour decline of 1.61%, currently trading at $81,444. The broader market is also down, with a Fear & Greed index of 55 indicating a state of 'Greed'.
This move by Strive underscores the continued interest of institutional investors in Bitcoin as a long-term asset, even amidst short-term market volatility. The firm's strategic accumulation of Bitcoin suggests confidence in its future value.
Looking ahead, investors will be watching how Strive's Bitcoin holdings perform relative to the broader market and how the firm's share structure continues to impact the per-share value of its Bitcoin holdings.
