Strive has added nearly 334 Bitcoin to its balance sheet, bringing its total holdings to over 13,131 BTC. This makes it the tenth largest publicly traded company holding Bitcoin. The move follows the company’s recent acquisition of Semler Scientific, which added 5,048 BTC to Strive’s treasury and marked a major step in its shift toward becoming a full-scale Bitcoin reserve company.
The latest purchase was made at an average price of $89,851 per Bitcoin, lifting the total value of Strive’s holdings to more than $1.17 billion. The company reported that its Bitcoin yield for the quarter is roughly 21.2 percent, reflecting growth in Bitcoin exposure per common share during the reporting period.
Alongside the purchase, Strive completed an upsized offering of its Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Preferred Stock, known as SATA, which drew over $600 million in investor interest. The offering was raised to $225 million, with the proceeds used to pay down debt inherited from the Semler acquisition. Strive has already retired $110 million of the $120 million in liabilities, including $90 million in convertible notes exchanged for SATA stock and a $20 million Coinbase credit facility. The remaining $10 million is expected to be cleared within four months, leaving the Bitcoin holdings fully unencumbered.
The Semler deal, finalized on January 13 after shareholder approval, transferred all 5,048.1 BTC from Semler into Strive’s treasury. The company also plans to divest or reposition Semler’s legacy healthcare diagnostics business. Strive reaffirmed its preference for preferred equity over traditional debt as it continues to expand its Bitcoin-per-share strategy.
Despite the aggressive treasury expansion, investors appeared cautious. Strive’s shares fell more than 2.2 percent on Wednesday, in line with other public companies heavily invested in Bitcoin. Bitcoin itself is down around 30 percent from its October all-time high of $126,080, reflecting broader macroeconomic pressures and dampened risk appetite.
Other major corporate Bitcoin holders have continued buying despite the downturn. Strategy, led by Michael Saylor, acquired 2,932 BTC at an average price of $90,000 on January 26, yet its shares have also declined more than 3.5 percent over the past week. The trend highlights that even as companies increase their Bitcoin exposure, market sentiment remains cautious in early 2026.
