A fresh SEC filing reveals that Strive Inc. (Nasdaq: ASST) spent roughly $30.3 million to acquire 382 Bitcoin between May 13 and May 18, bringing the Dallas-based company’s total treasury to 15,391 BTC. The average purchase price worked out to approximately $79,348 per coin. The disclosure was also highlighted in a post shared by Bitcoin Magazine on X, drawing wider attention across crypto markets.
With 15,391 BTC on its balance sheet, Strive now ranks among the largest institutional Bitcoin holders among publicly traded companies. The accumulation pattern signals that Bitcoin sits at the center of the company’s long-term balance-sheet strategy, not merely as a short-term investment vehicle.
Strive Bitcoin Treasury Crosses the 15,000 BTC Threshold
Strive’s latest purchase confirms the company has not slowed its Bitcoin accumulation strategy. When Strive acquired Semler Scientific in January 2026, the combined Bitcoin holding stood at 12,798 BTC.
The most recent announcement means the company has added more than 2,200 BTC to its treasury since January.
The pace of buying has visibly accelerated in recent months. Strive previously disclosed a purchase of 789 BTC for approximately $61.4 million, followed shortly afterward by an additional 444 BTC acquisition worth roughly $33.9 million.
The latest 382-coin purchase further reinforces the company’s stated goal of maintaining a position above the 15,000 BTC mark.
What Do BTC Yield and Amplification Ratio Mean?
In its current performance disclosures, Strive reported a quarterly BTC Yield of 6.6 percent and a year-to-date BTC Yield of 18.4 percent. BTC Yield is used as a performance metric that measures growth in the company’s Bitcoin exposure per share, rather than tracking direct changes in the Bitcoin price itself.
The company also disclosed an amplification ratio of 44.3 percent. According to the company, this figure reflects the fact that Strive funds its growing Bitcoin exposure not only through conventional debt but also through alternative financing instruments such as preferred equity.
Strive's Cash Position and STRC Holdings
Strive additionally announced that it holds approximately $87.3 million in cash and cash equivalents on its balance sheet. The company also disclosed a position of roughly $49.8 million in Strategy Inc.’s Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Stretch Preferred Stock, which trades under the ticker STRC.
This picture shows that Strive’s Bitcoin strategy is not limited to direct BTC purchases alone. The company is working to build a broader capital-allocation model combining its cash position, preferred equity instruments, and ongoing Bitcoin accumulation.
Strive Strengthens Its Position in the Institutional Bitcoin Race
Strive’s latest acquisition is a further sign that the trend of publicly traded companies building Bitcoin treasuries continues. The fact that companies keep adding BTC to their balance sheets despite price volatility is being closely watched as an indicator of sustained institutional demand.
