Strive Inc. added 73 Bitcoin to its corporate treasury for $4.7 million as the sudden conclusion of the 100-day US-Iran conflict triggered a risk-on asset rally. The purchase occurred between June 8 and June 14, capitalizing on a geopolitical de-escalation that reopened the Strait of Hormuz and pushed Bitcoin above $65,500.
The latest acquisition pushes the Nasdaq-listed company’s total crypto holdings to 19,105 BTC, valued at over $1.2 billion. The details surfaced in an SEC Form 8-K filing on Monday, revealing Strive paid an average of $63,646 per coin, according to Bitcoin Magazine.
To fund operations and asset purchases during the reporting period, Strive issued roughly 483,400 Class A common stock shares through an at-the-market equity program. The corporate accumulation aligns with a broader market surge, fueled directly by the US-Iran peace agreement ending the 100-day conflict. Over the same timeframe, Strive’s cash reserves edged up to $141.4 million.
The Structural Shift in Corporate Bitcoin Accumulation
Strive is not the only public firm scaling its reserves this week. Major industry competitor Strategy deployed $100 million from its own ATM stock sale to acquire 1,587 Bitcoin, bringing its total treasury to 846,842 BTC.
The rapid treasury expansion marks significant growth for Strive since its September 2025 merger with Semler Scientific, which initially added 5,048 BTC to its balance sheet. To accelerate this capital acquisition strategy, Strive is implementing a structural dividend change. Starting June 16, the company will transition its Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Preferred Stock (SATA) from a 13% APR monthly dividend to a daily payout schedule. The structural adjustment is designed to stabilize stock volatility and attract ongoing liquidity to fund future purchases.
