Strive, Inc. bought 469 Bitcoin, lifting its total Bitcoin holdings to 25,000 BTC. The company disclosed the purchase in a regulatory filing, and it pushes Strive deeper into the group of firms that keep Bitcoin on their balance sheets.
Strive is a firm that holds Bitcoin as a corporate treasury asset. That means it keeps Bitcoin the way other companies keep cash or bonds. Its latest purchase adds to a stack it has been building over several rounds. For related coverage, see FBI Traces Bitcoin to Alleged Florida Darknet Opioid Ring.
Strive is one of several public companies growing a Bitcoin treasury this year. It has previously reported buying 759 BTC in a corporate Bitcoin bet and, in a separate round, 1,375 Bitcoin for about $109 million.
Strive buys 469 Bitcoin
Strive purchased 469 Bitcoin between September 8 and September 11, 2026, according to its September 14 Form 8-K. Bitcoin, often shortened to BTC, is the largest cryptocurrency by market value.
469 BTC
The company paid an average of about $77,954 per Bitcoin, a figure that includes fees and expenses. Crypto.news reported the purchase cost around $36.6 million, a rounded figure the filing itself does not state as a total.
For comparison, Bitcoin traded near $78,779 at the time of this report, up about 1.9% over 24 hours. Strive’s average price sits just below that current market level.
Strive Bitcoin holdings reach 25,000 BTC
After the purchase, Strive’s Bitcoin holdings reached a round 25,000 BTC as of September 11, 2026. That total is separate from the 469 BTC it just added; the 469 is the new slice, and 25,000 is the full stack.
25,000 BTC
The filing shows holdings rose from 24,531 BTC as of September 4 to 25,000 BTC as of September 11. Those two reported balances differ by exactly the 469 Bitcoin the company bought.
The filing also lists other assets around the purchase. Cash and cash equivalents were $204.2 million on September 11, up from $202.6 million a week earlier. Strive also held 505,000 shares of Strategy’s STRC preferred stock, valued at $49.8 million on September 11.
Share counts shifted too. Class A common shares outstanding rose by 34,206 to 85,730,853, while Class B shares stayed at 9,237,911. Preferred SATA shares outstanding grew by 402,541 to 10,397,966.
Crypto.news reported the buy was funded by SATA proceeds rather than common-share sales, according to unconfirmed reports. The filing does not state a funding source, and the Class A share count still increased during the period, so the two questions are separate.
Strive reported 98,139,091 assumed fully diluted shares. That count deliberately excludes another 26,596,010 shares tied to traditional warrants, per the company’s own definition.
How much did the purchase increase Strive’s holdings?
The 469 Bitcoin represents about 1.88% of the 25,000 BTC total. In plain terms, the fresh purchase makes up a little under one fiftieth of everything Strive now holds.
Measured against the prior balance instead, the buy grew holdings by roughly 1.91%. That figure divides 469 by the implied earlier balance of 24,531 BTC, which assumes the reported numbers are exact and the purchase was the only change.
These are two different lenses. Share of the final total looks backward at what fraction is new; growth over the prior balance looks forward at how fast the stack expanded. Other firms have added Bitcoin as costs shift, as Strive did when it bought 1,375 Bitcoin amid rising dividend costs.
For a regular crypto holder, the takeaway is simple. One more public company is treating Bitcoin as a long-term reserve, even as broader market mood sits at a “Greed” reading of 57 on the Fear & Greed gauge. Corporate buying like this does not guarantee price direction, but it adds a steady, disclosed source of demand.
