What is the value of Strive’s current Bitcoin holdings? 

BitcoinTreasuries.net referred to this week as “the most impressive” one in SATA’s history. During the shortened Memorial Day trading week that ended May 30, Strive acquired an estimated 2,649 Bitcoins across four days, worth roughly $193 million at an average price of about $73,000 per coin. 

Friday alone accounted for an estimated 1,179 BTC purchased with $86.65 million in net proceeds. That single-day figure was larger than any previous full week of SATA-funded acquisitions. 

Strive now holds approximately 16,500 BTC, placing it seventh among publicly traded corporate Bitcoin holders on the BitcoinTreasuries.net leaderboard, just above Coinbase at 16,492 BTC and Riot Platforms at 15,680 BTC.
