Strive Inc., a Dallas-based public asset manager, purchased 79 bitcoin for approximately $5 million between Aug. 10 and Aug. 14. The company's corporate treasury now holds 20,246 BTC as of Aug. 14, according to figures the firm released this week.
The latest buy
Strive paid an average of roughly $63,231 per coin, including fees and expenses, across the five-day accumulation window. That's a relatively small addition compared to the size of the treasury, but it keeps the firm in a steady buying pattern.
The 79-coin purchase is a modest top-up rather than a dramatic bet. Still, it pushes the total holding past the 20,000 mark, a threshold that puts Strive in an exclusive club of publicly traded companies with large bitcoin stockpiles.
What the treasury looks like now
At current prices, the 20,246 BTC holding is worth well over $1.2 billion. Strive has been accumulating bitcoin steadily through 2026, and this latest purchase suggests the pace hasn't slowed.
The company hasn't said whether it plans to keep buying at this rate. But the pattern over the past several weeks points to a deliberate, recurring allocation rather than a one-off acquisition.
Strive is one of the few traditional asset managers that holds bitcoin directly on its balance sheet. Its public status means the buying is visible, and each addition is a signal to the broader market about institutional appetite for the asset.
The timing is notable too. Strive bought through mid-August, a period when bitcoin prices have been choppy. The firm didn't wait for a clear breakout — it just kept stacking.
The next quarterly filing will show whether the company maintained its buying pace into September. That's the next concrete data point for anyone tracking Strive's treasury moves.
