Strive Asset Management surpassed Tesla with the amount of Bitcoin it owns and entered the top 10 among public companies in this field. With the latest update, the number of Bitcoins in the company’s reserve reached 13,310.9. With its recently announced financial results, Strive announced that it increased the dividend rate on SATA preferred stock to 12.75 percent and also invested $50 million in Strategy company’s STRC preferred stock.
New Order in Institutional Bitcoin Reserves
In the list of public companies holding large amounts of Bitcoin in their portfolios, Strive surpassed Tesla with a balance of 11,509 units. This development shows that institutional investors’ interest in Bitcoin continues. The organization does not leave its Bitcoin strategy just in words, but actually reflects it on the balance sheet.
Strive Asset Management has accumulated Bitcoin through PIPE proceeds and the acquisition of Semler Scientific since it went public in September 2025. With the latest addition, approximately 317 more Bitcoins entered the portfolio. According to recent reports, it was stated that a total of 13,628 Bitcoins were reached.
Growth Strategy Supported by Financial Instruments
Strive is rapidly expanding its Bitcoin reserve through at-the-market share sales and structured financing vehicles. The company invested $50 million in Strategy’s STRC preferred stock to fund its SATA dividend program. This instrument generates cash flow while maintaining direct exposure to Bitcoin and aims to provide high returns to shareholders.
In the last quarter of 2025, Strive reported a 22.2 percent return on Bitcoin assets. The net accounting loss of $393.6 million recorded in the same period resulted from the decline in fair market values. It was stated that the main indicator followed by company investors is the increase in BTC per share, and this growth continues.
CEO Matthew Cole signaled that Strive will continue to accumulate Bitcoin with its new financial structure under his management and that this strategy will not slow down. Cole’s statement emphasized that with the scaling of digital loans, great opportunities will emerge in the sector.
Transformation Signal in Institutional Crypto Strategies
Unlike Tesla’s Bitcoin assets, which have remained stable for a long time, Strive stands out in the industry with its active balance sheet management. This approach shows that actively managing crypto assets, rather than keeping them passive at the institutional level, can become a new standard.
Like other examples, Evernorth has created a SPAC model backed by XRP reserves. The model followed by Strive offers shareholders a 12.75 percent SATA dividend as an additional return in addition to direct Bitcoin volatility. It is emphasized that this type of combination offers a different value proposition than spot ETFs.
It is stated that the company has over $83 million in cash on its balance sheet and its current shelf records may reach a size of $500 million. This indicates that the strategy for additional Bitcoin purchases and balance sheet expansion continues.
It is noteworthy that the infrastructure and portfolio expansion steps have been completed and Strive has risen to the top among public companies. Activity in institutional Bitcoin accumulation continues to increase.
