Strive buys 79 BTC for about $5.2 million, holdings reach 20,000 BTC

Nasdaq-listed Strive’s fourth straight week of Bitcoin buying lifted its treasury to about $1.3 billion and kept it ranked as the seventh-largest public corporate Bitcoin holder.

Fact Check
The core claim is confirmed by the primary source, Strive CIO Matt Cole's X post, which states the 79 BTC purchase for ~$5.2M at ~$65,723 average. CryptoBriefing and CoinNess independently corroborate the 79 BTC, $5.2M figures and the 20,000 BTC total holdings. The SoSoValue detail about $15.92M weekly net Bitcoin sales by non-mining listed companies was not independently verified, but the central factual claims about Strive's purchase and holdings are strongly supported.

Summary

Strive said it purchased 79 BTC for about $5.2 million between July 20 and July 24 at an average price of $65,723 per Bitcoin including fees, raising its holdings from 19,921 BTC to 20,000 BTC. The company said the purchase marked its fourth consecutive week of Bitcoin buying and put the value of its Bitcoin treasury at about $1.3 billion at current market prices. Strive said it has added more than 3,780 BTC since the start of 2026 through market purchases and its merger with Semler Scientific, and Bitcoin Treasury data cited by the company places it as the seventh-largest public company holding Bitcoin. The company said it primarily funds the strategy through its SATA perpetual preferred stock, whose dividend was recently increased to about 13%, while a July 27 Form 8-K also showed lower cash balances, a higher value for its Strategy Inc. preferred stock investment, and an increase in Class A shares outstanding during the week.
