Strive, Inc. disclosed in a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission that it acquired **32 Bitcoin** between June 2 and June 7, 2026. The company paid an average price of approximately **$63,911 per Bitcoin**, including fees and expenses, for a total investment of roughly **$2.1 million**. The latest purchase increased Strive’s Bitcoin treasury to **19,032 BTC**, further strengthening its position among the world’s largest publicly traded corporate Bitcoin holders. > Strive acquired an additional 32 [$BTC](https://x.com/search?q=%24BTC&src=ctag&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) for ~$2.1M at an average cost of ~$63,911 per bitcoin.[$ASST](https://x.com/search?q=%24ASST&src=ctag&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) [$SATA](https://x.com/search?q=%24SATA&src=ctag&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) [pic.twitter.com/IrTRabfG8l](https://t.co/IrTRabfG8l) > > — Matt Cole (@ColeMacro) [June 8, 2026](https://x.com/ColeMacro/status/2063951962547360165?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) ## Strive Continues Expanding Its Bitcoin Treasury The latest acquisition may appear modest compared with some of Strive’s earlier purchases, but it reinforces the company’s long term strategy of steadily increasing its Bitcoin exposure. The purchase came shortly after [Strive completed a much larger transaction](https://coinlaw.io/strive-adds-1109-btc-bitcoin-treasury/) between May 23 and June 1, when it acquired **2,500 Bitcoin** at an average price of **$74,092 per coin**. That transaction was valued at approximately **$185.2 million** and was funded largely through proceeds from the company’s Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Preferred Stock, traded under the ticker **SATA**. Compared with that previous acquisition, the latest purchase was executed at a significantly lower average cost. With Bitcoin trading at softer levels during the reporting period, Strive secured additional BTC at roughly **14% below** the average price paid in its prior major purchase. An interesting coincidence noted by market observers is that Strive purchased exactly **32 Bitcoin**, matching the amount reportedly [sold by Strategy two weeks earlier](https://coinlaw.io/strategy-32-btc-sale-ends-buy-streak/) during its first Bitcoin sale in years. ## Cash Position Improves Despite New Bitcoin Purchase Alongside the Bitcoin acquisition, Strive reported improvements in its balance sheet. The company disclosed that **cash and cash equivalents increased from approximately $137.3 million to $139.2 million**, reflecting an increase of about **$1.9 million** during the reporting period. At the same time, the fair value of Strive’s holdings in **Strategy Inc.’s Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Stretch Preferred Stock (STRC)** declined from approximately **$49.5 million to $47.2 million**. Despite the valuation change, the company maintained its position of **505,000 STRC shares**. These figures suggest that Strive continued to strengthen its liquidity position while maintaining its aggressive Bitcoin accumulation strategy. ## Share Count Rises Through Capital Raising Efforts Strive also reported changes in its equity structure. The number of **Class A common shares outstanding increased from 69,089,145 to 69,410,645**, representing an increase of **321,500 shares**. Meanwhile, the number of **Class B common shares** and **SATA preferred shares** remained unchanged. The increase in Class A shares reflects continued activity under Strive’s **at the market equity program**, which the company has used throughout 2026 to support Bitcoin purchases and treasury growth. In late May, CEO **Matt Cole** announced plans to expand both the **ASST** and **SATA** at the market programs by **$2.1 billion each**, citing strong investor demand for the company’s securities. ## Strive Strengthens Its Position Among Corporate Bitcoin Holders Strive has emerged as one of the most active corporate Bitcoin accumulators in the public markets. By early June 2026, the company ranked among the largest public corporate Bitcoin holders globally, reportedly holding the **seventh largest Bitcoin treasury** among publicly traded companies. The latest acquisition further strengthens that standing and demonstrates management’s continued confidence in Bitcoin as a strategic treasury asset. Investors appeared to welcome the update, with **ASST shares rising about 7% in premarket trading** following the disclosure. ## CoinLaw’s Takeaway In my experience, the size of this purchase is less important than the message behind it. Strive continues to buy Bitcoin even after completing a massive 2,500 BTC acquisition just days earlier. I found the lower purchase price particularly notable because it shows the company is actively taking advantage of market weakness rather than waiting on the sidelines. The steady increase in both Bitcoin holdings and cash reserves suggests that Strive is building a long term treasury strategy rather than making short term speculative bets. If this pace continues, the company could further strengthen its position among the world’s leading corporate Bitcoin holders.
