Strategic context

Strive tracks a “Bitcoin Yield” metric to monitor whether Bitcoin accumulation outpaces dilution from new shares.

Valuation impact

At current Bitcoin prices, the 21,356 BTC held by Strive are valued at approximately $1.65 billion‑$1.70 billion, placing the firm among the larger publicly traded corporate Bitcoin holders.
