Strive acquired 6,236 BTC in the second quarter of 2026 and purchased an additional 303 BTC by Aug. 7, while completing the repayment of all interest-bearing debt. The company said the balance-sheet overhaul leaves it pursuing a treasury strategy centered on expanding its Bitcoin holdings without debt overhang. Strive posted a net loss of $257.6 million for the second quarter, but said roughly 94% of that figure stemmed from valuation losses linked to fair-value declines in the Bitcoin and STRC it holds rather than from core operating pressure.
